This is similar to my experience but without a bootcamp. My biggest problem when mentoring people that want to and are capable of learning to code is pointing them towards any avenue of someone who might hire them to code. It seems like the few companies that do "junior" positions only target new grads, and many companies don't even bother with junior devs. As a result, finding the first job can be a larger barrier than being able to code useful things.
Wondering if anyone has any insight as to where I might be able to help people look for a first coding job, especially without a connection to a bootcamp.
