Here are the 2 bootcamps we most recommend!
1. Careerist (the bootcamp I chose)
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 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 $4k, but I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too! The discount Is attached to the link automatically.

2. 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 they’re 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. They’re just $449 with my discount code that gives you $50 off!
