Wouldn't bother with a bootcamp. Everyone's doing that. Possibly try slightly junior position first to get a foot in the door, then work your way up, either by being promoted internally or fixing your CV so that you could hop jobs at that point. When I got back into IT after 2 yrs out, I worked for a start-up. They struggled to hire as they had insufficient cash to pay much, had no pension plan at all. This got all my skills back into shape again. After 15 months there I moved to a much better job and "the rest is history". Never underestimate what you can do with working somewhere that underpays. (probably as a temporary measure, of course)
