I went to a boot camp that had corporate partners who they sent our resumes to and helped set up interviews. Got an offer two weeks after graduating the program

Hmm not sure about the self taught route but I went to a boot camp and started applying in May. The process has had its ups and downs. Definitely isn’t a walk in the park. It is challenging but possible. Keep going.

Not self-taught but started apply before I finished my BS in CS. Took me roughly seven months but I had a full time job and was a full time student online. (Made the decision to change careers in my 30s, and was a single father of four, so had to make sure I kept an income coming in)Don't get discouraged, once you break in, you'll be in a good place for future job searches.
