My degree isn't in CS and I did this (at the time I didn't even have that non-CS degree). Leave the bootcamp off your resume, consider working for free (academia in STEM fields tends to have volunteer C++ opportunities for undergrads), consider gateway positions where you'll get to do some code. (For example, you can usually get to write firmware even if hired as an electrical engineer, if the hardware design responsibilities leave you the time, and most C++ shops have QA positions where they'll let you write automated google tests). Consider a .NET or Java position (there you can apply with your bootcamp cred) for an app that also has some C++ components; apps dealing with audio/video or performance bits are good for this. Fewer companies use C++, so expect the search to take time. Don't be afraid of smaller companies or newer companies, they tend to have hiring processes that do not emphasize degrees as much. Ask everyone you know on linkedin if they know of a company that uses C++; you could have a surprise and referrals will help if you have no degree.
