The bootcamps may work, at least pre-covid, I'll try to remember to ask my brother about that. With bootcamp-type training you're limited to more basic, front-end work unless you REALLY have a knack for coding and self-study. That would suffice for a furlough job, if you're looking at a career change, you should probably ultimately get a degree (perhaps a masters if you can get into a program). Lots of kids were getting hired half-way through a degree program and simply dropping out at that point. For crushing code, they just want to know you can do it. For a career in software engineering, they probably want a degree.

Update: My brother says that the boot camps work best for those with prior experience, who are learning a new language. He's also a bit jaundiced, as a multi-degree professional, he's had some bad experiences with boot-camp types. Also says many of the boot camps are pretty shady, so caveat emptor.
