Who should and shouldn't go to software engineering bootcamps (in 2025). No matter how good a bootcamp seems - or how much you want to do it, these things are DEAL BREAKERS you have to consider before even thinking about doing one.

I would love to connect with you haha you seem to keep it real! (I saw you go at codesmith. I think that takes some courage.) I'm pivoting from Tech Sales to coding and could use some insight if you're open to it?

Pivoting from anything that's not technical is not easy right now no. But you might be able to pivot into solutions engineer or sales engineer which are good jobs at big tech. And then maybe over a longer period of time become a SWE. And I do think it's possible to pivot to those roles.
