> I recently got to final round interviews at Google (cold call from a recruiter who saw my resume in their slush pile), but I didn't get an offer. I was able to solve all of the problems (in Python), but apparently, my solutions were inefficient, or I otherwise didn't explain them well enough.
If you were able to solve programming questions in a Google interview regardless of how inefficient then I very much doubt you will have a lot of difficulty passing the programming portion of an interview at most companies.
Just apply to a lot of jobs, esp junior entry level ones... do lots of easy-medium practice problems on leetcode to keep that part sharp for companies that do care about that type of problems.
I wouldn't worry too much about the GPA... most companies don't even look at the GPA unless you highlight it on a resume, they might be more inclined to look at it for your first job but it's not a dealbreaker by any means.
I would also advise against bootcamps, you already have bachelors degree in a related field which should help you get your foot in the door. Just apply to lots of places, write a good resume and don't bother customizing it for each company, just apply in bulk, it's a numbers game.
