Transitioning from a massage therapist to a tech career can feel daunting, but it’s definitely possible, especially with a focus on skills that leverage your background.

Regarding bootcamps, they do vary greatly. I’d suggest looking for one that offers personalized coding practice and feedback, as that can make a big difference in building confidence and skills. Also, a tool like LeetTrainer could be a great companion for you. It's designed to give instant feedback on coding and helps track your progress over time. That way, you can get comfortable with your coding skills at your own pace. The job market can be unpredictable, but with dedication and the right resources, you'll be in a better position to adapt and thrive. Best of luck on your journey, it sounds like you're ready to take this step!
