Your best chance in Boston is probably grubhub. Unicorns and FAANG will also pay 100k+ for junior, but you probably need a lot more programming chops. I'd start building things (a simple web app is good). There's a good chance your first job will have to be web dev.
You could consider a bootcamp, I wouldn't mention it in your application but it can be very useful in getting yourself to code and familiarising yourself with common tools. I know many people who've bootstrapped their careers that way, avoid lambda school though. If you just want to optimise for interview prep I know the people behind https://www.kibaclass.com/ https://www.kibaclass.com/ and would vouch for them, they can guide you to consistently getting optimal or close to optimal solutions as well as dealing with the soft skills interviews.
Good luck.
