Ask HN: Should I attend a Bootcamp with a CS degree?

Since graduating with a CS degree, two years ago, I have been unable to find a job. All I've done was make a website for someone, some personal projects, and a 2-month contract at a startup (Node.js developer) in NYC. I have about 7k (minus whatever taxes I'll have to pay) left over (only used it for public transportation, food, and paying my parents) from that contract. I did try to network by volunteering and meetups, but that led to no-where. I am located by NYC. I did get about two interviews since the contract ended, but I can't put my finger on why I didn't pass (one was for a QA position). There were absolutely no technical questions. The salary I'm targeting is $65k to $70k. I'm really lost on what to do next. Studying CtCI won't help, since I've never even been asked anything like that in an interview. Do I even need more projects after my contract and previous personal projects?

Should I spend all my saved up money on a Bootcamp?
