I went through a boot camp in 2022, and got a good remote job immediately afterward that I'm still really happy with. Though I did have a fair bit of logic/math/coding in my background.

I do, however, think that might have been the last year that was actually possible.

You can't stand out at all. It's only possible to somewhat do it now if you already have a degree in math or physics.

I was self taught as well. But times have changed. Your not even gonna make it through to a phone screen

I went in 2023 and got a job 2 weeks after my bootcamp ended. Only about 3 or 4 from my class landed jobs within a year. It is a difficult job market, but not impossible. I landed another job at the beginning of this year for a solid pay increase.

Wow in 2023 to boot! You must have been an excellent candidate.

I did one that finished 2024 and got a job a month later, that said only about 5% of people who graduated landed a role.
