In a good economy, one year is more than enough time to get a job (considering most bootcamps are 12 weeks, and I know a lot of bootcamp graduates who are employed as developers.) Learning on the job can be beneficial as you usually have others to learn with, and learning is contextualized.

Good luck with it!

Are boot camps still a thing? I thought the bloom was off, as documented here many times in recent years.

Bootcamps are definitely problematic in many cases, and I'm sure they are not as popular as they once were. However I personally know a bunch of people who have been through bootcamps and are now employed as software developers, so in some cases they do work.

Boot camps are largely a way to separate people from their money and leave them in $12k of debt.
