I have interviewed many candidates from bootcamps. The problem with bootcamps is that they don't teach you the fundamentals and throw you in with some latest hot framework (react etc) without you really understanding the fundamentals.
For example, most bootcampers could not explain the basics of an HTML Form submission. But they know how to send a POST request using React or whatever. They however don't know what actually makes an Http Request. Many couldn't tell me the construct of a request (header vs body) even though they knew how to setup a X-Api-Key in a http request using the library. Fundamentals people, fundamentals.
I don't recommend Bootcamps until you have done your own homework first. Start with something like freecodecamp and once you have learned some fundamentals, may be a bootcamp can help. Think of a Bootcamp as a vehicle to help you connect with potential employers but the real learning happens on your own first. Plus, if you are not motivated to learn on your own in 2023, you are probably not going to make it successfully out of a bootcamp anyway.
All the best.
