If you have a CS degree I would consider a career accelerator in the mix instead of a bootcamp. I'm the co-founder of Formation.dev , which focuses on DS&A and fundamentals (very little hands on project work), and other ones include Outco, Interview Kickstart, Scalar, Pathrise, Coachable. I would look into all of these and see if any are a good fit for you.
Bootcamp-wise, you probably want to look at the Codesmith, Rithm, and Hack Reactor, as bootcamps that work well for people farther along.

I am in the same boat as you. I have a electronics and communication engineering degree. And i am enrolled in a DSA full stack development bootcamp. I picked a lot of CS subjects while persuing my degree. But still felt that wasn't enough. And i was quite weak in DSA and system d

Which program did you end up going to? I'm just curious because there are no classic bootcamps I know of that properly teach DS&A :P

Nice! Yeah they are legit DS&A! I consider them a competitor to us (Formation) and not really a bootcamp. Let me know how it goes! They are based in India and started off with a DS&A platform and recently launched Scalar as a bootcamp so I'm curious how much of the audience is in India vs the USA, Europe, Canada, Australia.

Hello Michael! You seem to have an extremely strong understanding of bootcamps. Which bootcamps do you look the most favorably upon? I have an idea of which bootcamps I like from researching, but I'd like to hear your opinions if you're willing to share.

It really depends on you, your experience, your time commitment, your natural abilities, etc...
For example:
Codesmith: great for ambitious people with hustle mentality and the means to do 11 hours a day, people with natural/existing talent, recommend full time
Rithm: great for small classrooms, high exposure to senior instructors, 9 to 6 days
Ada Academy: great if you fit their demographic profile and are more comfortable learning in this kind of environment
Launch School: more async at your own pace at first in core

I'm currently preparing for and applying to Codesmith and Hack Reactor. I'm realizing that with Codesmith, it's normal to fail the first technical interview, which is fine, but that would push my cohort date back by 2 months. I'm financially prepared to take add an additional 2 m

If you really like Codesmith from the prep work then I would wait because it will probably work well for you... as long as you are sure you have those two months of buffer. If you learn well independently and your budget will be very tight, then I would go with HR sooner and get a two month head start on your job hunt,
