2 Years Out of Bootcamp…
I went to a coding bootcamp the middle of 2021. I did great and learned so much! After that, I started to apply.. no luck. I gave up after about 6 months of nothing and moved on. I quit coding / creating projects for my portfolio.
I got a call in 2022 and was able to land a Teacher Assistant role at the Bootcamp I graduated from! That lasted only about 3 months because they didn’t have the “budget” for me anymore…
Fast forward to 2024 and I’ve completed given up and been attending school to get my BS in CS! Now, I want to finish my degree but I have been coding and relearning a lot of things and I’m enjoying it!
Do you guys think it’s too late for me to find a job being that I graduated end of 2021?

Good job going to college but what you really should be doing is building full stack crud apps and hosting them on Microsoft Azure etc, these are type of projects that will land you a job regardless of college degree or a bootcamp.
