Anyone make the switch from consulting to SWE via a coding bootcamp?

Two Qs:
1 - How well do bootcamps help you with getting a job (e.g., partnering with employers to get interviews)?
2 - How much are you making / did you make in your post-bootcamp job?

I made the switch but without the bootcamp. Just leetcoded, side projects and networking.
Although I did make the switch last year when the job market was insanely hot so idk if that’s enough anymore
