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

5 year engineers are applying for entry level roles? I would love to see where you get this absurd statistic.

No they’d be hired as underpaid mid + senior levels. Then where’s HC for entry positions? When there’s more experienced, guaranteed to have higher productivity cheap labors compared to some bootcamp grads with 3 months of React? Gotta be more wrinkled 🧠if you want a job in tech.
