Same here. Pivoted from video production to web development about four years ago. I went to a coding bootcamp (Hack Reactor) in person here in San Francisco. Great experience and well worth the time and money investment. That said, I was just horrible at interviewing, so it took me longer than most to land my first job (7 months!). Had about 10 on-sites before getting hired.<p>I found my current gig through another person in my bootcamp cohort. Honestly, cold applications through job boards was just awful - I did about 10 per day and got one hit a week at best. If you can, attend some meetups to meet other engineers and get the word out that you're looking for work.<p>If you can swing it, try to attend a reputable bootcamp to get up to speed with the finer points of JS, data structures (stacks, queues, binary trees, linked lists, etc), hooks-based functional components in React, and the coding interview. I doubt much has changed with regards to the coding interview in the past four years. Pick up "Cracking the Coding Interview" - my current employer did not put me through hellish whiteboard algorithm nonsense, but it's still pretty much the standard with many employers and I was asked more than once to traverse a binary tree on a whiteboard in JS.<p>You can learn most of what you need to know on the job, so I advise on specializing and really becoming competent with a few tools and technologies instead of diversifying this early.<p>Redux is slowly going out of style it seems, but it's still used widely and is one of the more difficult things to pick up as a beginner. So if you're going to add to your repertoire maybe start there if you haven't already.<p>Keep applying to jobs and learning on the side. Get out there and meet other web developers. Consider a coding bootcamp if you can swing it.
