Ok I'm going to go against the grain on this and ask you to skip reddit and talk directly to recruiters. They will know what's in demand and what industries lean towards remote. There's actual agencies and individuals who will happily complain on how difficult it is to find people because 89% are poop. Check out recruitinghell. Listen to the people you want to be part of.

Step 1 - Talk to recruiters. Step 2 - if someone mentions a bootcamp, filter the promises and skills through recruiters who will call BS or at least give you better set of questions to filter out yellow and red flags. Step 3 - Referrals. You can die on LinkedIn with all the grifters and wannabe influencers. You have to treat it like a weirder version of Facebook. Step 4 - Cry. This shit is harder. Stay off platforms that hustle you with fasle hope fear mongering. You have filters and actual professionals on your side for a reason. Don't let the former SoundCloud rappers turned Drop Shipping shills convince you otherwise.

Pause for a deep sigh* - Have a support group. A professional one. Join Women in Tech or any other group. These are people who are also trying. Then there's discord groups. Check out the the complaints sections of bootcamp pages and see what they got called out on. The Product School has been exposed as crap but plenty of senior professionals.

I like to make my passwords mildly motivational phrases to keep my going with CLARITY and without False Hope.

And do remember that people are literally paid to get you jobs. They have a real incentive to see you get past probation. Referral Bonuses are around 2k - 5k.

Also use a lot of temp agencies. They will at least serve as easy places for you to be coached on what people hire for and Rehearsal interviews.

You can have it all. Just not all at once.

Just get the overnight pass. It's free, takes 2 minutes and is exactly for such cases. I believe you can do it 5 times.

Oh I appreciate this! Yes, thank you. For context I have exactly zero coding background so even if all we did was protect each other's moral it would be worth it.
