    Hello, I am considering doing a coding bootcamp and getting a job as a web developer after that. However, I am not sure I can commit to web development for a career. I may be pursuing something else 1.5 - 2 years after the coding bootcamp. Do you think it would still be possible to get a web development job even though I may not be able to commit to it as a career? Will employers ask about the future in interviews or is demand high enough that I can still secure something? Thank you very much.

      I'm not sure how about the USA but here in Ukraine all those big words like "commit my future to web development" are just HR bullshit nobody pays attention to (except of HRs of course). What everyone cares is your skills to your salary demands ratio. As for me throughout my 6 years of career, I've never switched to positions where technologies matched with my current skill set and it's perfectly normal for a developer as IT is an ever-evolving field. Hope that helps

        The first thing you need to do is find out what jobs are available in your location. There is no point aiming for a web developer role if all the local companies are looking for database designers. You also need to consider what levels of experiences they want. Bootcamps are fine as a starting point but are any intern jobs available?

          Boot Camp? Look if you don't know the basics now you never will. learn c/c++ and baremetal programming like Rasp Pi or Adruno and learn the basics. if you can't do this you will never succeed.
