I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "advanced" and how advanced you mean. A lot of the top bootcamps do have fairly challenging entrance tests, e.g. Codesmith tests on recursion just to get in. So like if Codesmith, Hack Reactor, App Academy, all seem too easy then you can look into the career accelerator group of program.
The more "career accelerator" type programs are roughly the same cost as bootcamps but focusing on people with "employable skills" get jobs, rather than teaching people things from step 0 or 0.1. I'm the co-founder of Formation.dev which is one option and then other other programs are Interview Kickstart, Scaler, Pathrise, and Outco. At Formation, most people we work with have 1-3 years of experience already (and the other programs are similar) and we work with you for as long as it takes to get a job you love (with most people targeting truly top tier companies).
I suspect these types of programs might be too far in the opposite direction, but throwing them out there to you can look at the spectrum of things out there.

Thank you! I'm not looking for the top tier, as I'm still looking for my first job in tech. What is getting me is I feel like a lot of the process learned is just base level, if that. Like you say 0 to 0.1. I'd like to set myself a little further in knowledge than that.

Nice, yeah I think a top bootcamp could be a good path, like Codesmith, HR, etc.., that require some basic programming skills first and then focus on getting that first job.

Current no for EU (case by case basis) but we want to, there are so many amazing engineers in the EU. We recently started working with people in Mexico, Canada and Australia.
So two reasons:
1. While we have strong networks and know many people at many companies, we don't do immigration and legal advice. So we need to work with people who either want to come to the US on a country-specific "simple" visa (like Mexico (TN), Canada (TN) and Australia (E3)) or there is a strong enough job market with the big tech companies in your home country that we can help you there. Many EU countries have strong job markets.
2. Time zones. We craft your schedule every single week based on your availability, so we can support really any kind of schedule, however, sessions are small group sessions or 1-1 sessions, so overlapping availability with many people gives us flexibility to make sure you the most optimal sessions every week.
We can work through both of these as we grow and have more resources.
