I think you'll do equally well if you try to build some product on your own using free tutorials on the internet.

Bootcamps may partner with some companies looking to hire juniors so you may have a higher chance to land a job after that, but experience wise, as an unaffiliated company, I'd look at you the same as someone doing comparable projects on his own on github.

Get a backend in node.js running with postgres and redis, get some react frontend. You can build pretty much anything.

Bonus point, you could use sales skills to actually sell the product you are building and make some spare cash.

If it fails, hey at least you didn't spend 10k$ on a bootcamp and still learnt how to build stuff.
