Director of Operations, BSME Mechanical Engineering, transition to tech..... Bootcamp?

Two ideas: 1. Be an engineering manager first, learn on the job and maybe switch to IC later on 2. Try to get a down-leveled IC roles as a super special case, likely on a specific team that knows your strengths and weaknesses and thinks they can support you. Like some kind of 'tech lead' role. Maybe "Technical Product Manager" at FAANG is a good fit. I would just dabble with free or cheap online courses to get up to speed with modern programming and not do a whole bootcamps. Bootcamp will be $20K for 12 weeks and based on your history, it sounds like you can learn the same stuff yourself - and probably MORE - for free.
