Graduated a web dev bootcamp back in 2018. Ended up taking a non coding job and was there for 2 years (contract expired). I now want to get back into coding after a long time off, but not sure where to start and how to go about getting a job in a market saturated with entry level devs. Any advice?

I don't really think it is as hard as you think. I would just freshen up your coding skills and start applying. Plenty of jobs out there.

I would utilize any contacts you made in the coding world before taking the non coding job. Connections give you the best chance of standing out against a sea of applicants.

Definitely reach out to any coding contracts you made, especially if they're on LinkedIn (but other social media works well here, too). Also, do you have any particular interests or experience that you can dig more deeply into to set yourself out from the crowd? A specialty can go a long way, though having an in with a former colleague or classmate is much quicker.

Thanks for the advice! I worked at the NBA for 2 years in QA/analytics, product and live streaming ops and got to collaborate with devs/PMs which gave me some valuable experience and connections. So I guess my “specialty” would be in sports but after working in the industry I don’t know if I’d want to for the rest of my career
