Thank you for the quick response! As of August 2024, is there a bootcamp you'd recommend someone who already has a bachelors? Or would you recommend a quick online BS in CS?

The slow path is to get a job using your existing degree that is at a big tech company and use internal resources to transition over the course of a few years.
I've seen some people do this and it's worked out extremely well.
1. You learn along the way
2. You get a good salary and benefits
3. You have a ton of context to help add value in a transition while you ramp up on technical
4. Some companies pay for masters
5. Many companies have internal engineering training you can try to participate in.
Now if you can't get a job at a top tech company, try to find something that hits on some of these.
Like maybe finding a job at a company that will pay for your masters.
Or finding a non tech job at a tech company that has zero chance at ever becoming an engineering job
