    You don't need a coding boot camp at all...if you already work at a tech company just start shadowing some people willing to help you out for at least a little bit each day. I would guess that your management would support you here.

    Or just learn entirely on your own, but my point is just that your foot is already partway in the door...maybe start writing scripts that pertain to your current job and ask some full time developers to review your work.

    go for hackreactor if you can get in. you want a place with high placement rate and good support system / connection to companies.

    if you're definitely looking to become a SWE go for a regular degree, good places like Berkeley can be affordable with in state tuition. and those degrees will open a lot more doors than bootcamps. don't let meritocracy speak, and no degree needed talks get to you, that's BS for most companies. and people will always judge, unconscious bias is real.

    General assembly is terrible. Do hack reactor or app academy
