No I would definitely recommend a bootcamp, if you find the right one they will provide great value as long as you immerse yourself in them. I have many complaints about the particular one that I went to, starting with the fact that they charge nearly $15,000 CAD for a 6 month "Full Stack Developer" program, 3 months of which is spent covering very little Javascript, and focusing strictly on WordPress. Basically the first 3 months is a waste of your money. Another thing that I've read about, and heard about, but I haven't experienced, is that the prevalence of all these bootcamps has lead to an over saturation of Junior level developers in the industry. That would make sense intuitively, because there's only so many Junior jobs to go around, so it might be worth looking into how the job market is wherever you are.
