I see tons of these people doing bootcamp because they essentially want tech compensation despite having previously chosen a different career.
I think bootcamps are a suboptimal choice. You are investing months of hard work teaching yourself real world skills which at best will land you a decent junior developer job in some mid of the pack company (maybe 50-60k€ if you pick UK, Switzerland or one of the nordic countries - maybe something short of 100k$ in the US tech area?).
I did exactly that when I was 15 and passioned about creating and it was hard; that also meant that by the time I was out of computer science I had already been working in senior capacity with a senior level salary (roughly 100k€, again, for mid of the pack company - which was roughly equivalent to fang junior total compensation).
Given you are investing months and money is an important factor, I'd recommend you just grind leetcode without learning frontend programming or whatever is popular at the moment. After being good at leetcoding without knowing how to code, you can just go and ace fang interviews and land a much better starting salary.
I know people who did the above and just learned web programming on the job at a fang while they were juniors and being paid to do so.
