I started a bootcamp 2.5 years ago. Then I spent 2 years trying to go straight into Product Management. No one would hire me without development experience so I worked as a technical project manager and my own startup.
Finally I decided to get a web developer job. It has been 8 days, we are using React and Redux, and its fantastic. But the senior developer left the team and now with 4 of us left I've realized I am the most knowledgeable developer on the team. This is in SF but not with a tech company. Luckily there is no stress and the hours are great.
For some reason coding on my own projects was only okay but coding for a job is amazing. The day flies by and I get really deep into my work.
