Yeah I used hiring our heroes. Time away from command while transitioning is genuinely useful. I have recommended 3 people use them thus far and all of them have gotten jobs during their transition out of it. Ones to explore:

Hiring our heroes is a good one.
Amazon has apprenticeships.
Salesforce has a fellowship.
Shift does matching too (if you don't have a degree you couldnt use HoH last I checked so this is an alternate route)

I haven’t but a friend did. He’s now a dev making decent money so I think it worked for him
