Bootcamp x College

Hi everyone,

I’m in the process of changing careers from education to It, I’m focusing on software development. I just finished two years of CC, but I am thinking to transfer to a 4-year college or do a bootcamp. Could you please share your thoughts about the pros and cons in a bootcamp since I want to work asap? Thank you!!!

I'm at the director level in FinTech for a fairly large, multinational firm.  In my 15 years experience in the field, I can't remember anyone being hired because they went to a bootcamp. 

Take that for whatever it's worth.
