Just curious what people are doing while looking for a dev role. I'm back in school for mechatronics technician stuff while looking for a mechatronics tech (primarily plc/hmi programming - anything more indoors that in a noisy warehouse environment) role and/or a dev role.

Well if you become a freelancer or self employed.or go back to your old job, you'll count as a placement for your bootcamp and they'll be happy
Codesmith's 2024 California government data showed that of their placements about 2/3 were non responsive to report their salary and counted as a placement from LinkedIn, and a surge in "self employed" people this year too, and more "hired by school" than last year.
So it's kind of sad but if you get any kind of job the bootcamp is happy and you are kind of left for yourself.
