Experience in technology will get you further than a dev boot camp. Scrum master and PMP tells me you’re interested in project management, but if you were to do a boot camp, you wouldn’t truly learn that much about the software development lifecycle at the enterprise level - you would learn the technical skills that could potentially get you a full stack developer position. To obtain the PMP, you need to have something like 5 years PM experience (if I’m not mistaken), so I would maybe build off of that. Restructure your resume to highlight technologies used to track and manage project plans, management of escalation processes and client exposure. Also highlight any risk, dependency, and requirements management that you had to do in context of the projects. Were they long term engagements (greater than 6 mos)? Even better. I would target PM roles that utilize waterfall methodology in the beginning, like large scale SAAS software implementations or infrastructure projects - cloud may also be a good vertical to look into. Hope this helps and good luck!
Following, I am a Program Manager with PMP/ CSM/ Prince2 trying to learn technology and move into technical program management.
What I heard from a lot of friends is to go through a boot camp but again learn coding through YouTube videos and do a lot of projects, it’s really the projects on Udemy that is challenging and you learn a lot from it
