I finished a full stack bootcamp this year from a pretty reputable provider, name starting with letter G, and I am now working as a software engineer. I was still early on in my engineering career when i made the switch. Worked for about 2 years + only. I got 2 job offers within

One of the challenges with bootcamp grads is keeping the job. It's a challenge with any entry level engineer, not just bootcamp grads. But bootcamp grads tend to rely more on luck and one offs and really struggle with layoffs because they have to get lucky twice.
I would recommend trying really hard to stay at the job for 2 years and get promoted once, then you'll be in excellent shape.
