Here are the 2 bootcamps we most recommend! 

1. Careerist (the bootcamp I chose) 

These courses are 6 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 assist you with finding jobs to apply to - in order to help set you up on interviews. 

They also do interview coaching & provide really good interview cheat sheets. They’re about $5k, but I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too! The discount Is attached to the link automatically.
