Hi thanks for sharing this write up and +1 to a lot of the advice.
You mentioned several times that luck was a huge factor if not the main factor, in getting a job.
It also sounds like you "made your own luck" by putting yourself out there as much as you possibly could.
But that said, if luck was such a huge factor in this market, doesn't that mean choosing a bootcamp right now could be super risky? Like if I was employed in a stable job, not super happy, wanted to become a SWE, if I'm going to require a large amount of luck, it's pretty intimidating to quite my job and do a bootcamp in this market.
