Here are the 4 bootcamps I most recommend!
1. CourseCareers is self paced. You can finish it in 3 weeks or 3 months. They offer tech sales roles only & are partnered with tech companies, so theyโre usually able to get you a tech career quickly or a paid internship (up to $21/hr) while you wait to get hired on.
They only offer courses for people in North America. Theyโre just $449 with my discount code that gives you $50 off!
Discount Code: Cyrus50

2. Careerist (the bootcamp I chose/USA Only)
These courses are 4 weeks long, virtual and are 8pm - 10:30pm Sun- Thur (Eastern). They record their classes In case you miss any. They are not partnered with tech companies, but they fix your resume & LinkedIn to industry standards and they apply to 5 companies a day for you & set you up on interviews.
They also do interview coaching & provide really good interview cheat sheets. Theyโre $4k, but I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too! The discount Is attached to the link automatically.
