Career Change Internship Programs / Jobs for Coding Boot Camp Grad
I'm posting this on behalf of someone else. She is in early 30s with a college degree (not CSE) and has left a career of being a school teacher and is looking for opportunities as a software engineer. She has completed a coding boot camp while working as a teacher. She has applied to a few companies and programs but can't seem to get to an interview.
A sample of those that have been tried so far:
- Vanguard (ghosted after coding challenge)
- Twitter career change internship (rejected after coding challenge)
- Goldman Sachs (recently submitted coding challenge, waiting)
- Lyft (ghosted after coding challenge)
I (the poster) have been discouraging her from applying from the "sweat shop" coding jobs, but she's quickly running out of places to apply. Is there no other option for a company that is willing to invest in her? (and compensate more than sweat shop rates?)
If anyone has recommendations or referrals for career change internship programs or entry level opportunities that can be remote (US), it would be appreciated. If anyone has advice on how to succeed in any of these programs, it would also be appreciated.
