Not me but my friend got hired at a startup through a bootcamp, no prior tech background.

My close friend made a huge career pivot and landed a software engineering job making ~100k after a boot camp.

He is a smart dude, had his masters in a field completely unrelated to tech.

Many, many of my coworkers came from a boot camp

Yes, I was hired before I even graduated. But this was 6 years ago, the bootcamp hiring market might be diluted by now.

I also had a friend who did a Boot Camp and got hired as a consultant. Spoke with him recently because I’m thinking of changing careers and he said on top of the skills, the critical thing was networking where he could get his resume passed the front door.

How would you approach moving back into industry after a long career break?

A successful senior software engineering career (15 years+), I took a significant amount of time out due to burnout and caring responsibilities.

Seven years on, my situation has improved, and the industry has progressed. Remote first companies are numerous, and I’m keen to move back into software development.

I would love to hear a recruiter's perspective on this situation.
