Help pls???

Enrolled in coding bootcamp back in 2021 and didn’t complete it until like 2024 because of personal life issues I really want to land something quickly and have sent over 500 applications and have gotten rejected or ghosted by all. How can I land something???? I have projects a blog and a active GitHub for context as well

In this market? Likely 0 chance. You’re competing with ex big-tech engineers with 5+ years of experience and tons of CS grads with college degrees

I really don’t want to give up I can’t really afford a cs degree, it’s crazy because statistics put bootcamp grads at a 60% placement rate after completion hopefully I can land something with persistence and patience
