I switched careers but can’t find a job

About a year ago, I left my old job and decided to pursue a job in computer science.

I did a lot of self study and coding bootcamps. I also do coding challenges to practice for interviews.

I’ve been having a hard time finding an entry level job though. I use LinkedIn to search for new roles. It seems like every job requires at least a bachelors degree.

I’ve mostly gotten rejections. The offers I did get were trying to pay well under the average salary of a junior software engineer and my previous job.

Does anyone have experience with what I’m trying to do? Where do I go looking for jobs that don’t mind giving me a fair shot?
