You wont get remote work without proving yourself not to be a child first. Methods of doing this:

1. you have to lean into being "camera on" presentable, and you will need a project portfolio that is better than any bootcamp grad. Riskier, may have to do a ridiculous amount to offset your lack of experience. Likely will take a few months

2. You get an office or hybrid job and demonstrate you can work with people over time. Almost no risk, reliable and gives you control over how you brand yourself. Minimum 6 months.

3. Lie about 2, pretend to, or do a short stint working for family or friend and get them to provide a good reference.
