We have an entire unused, unheated, uninsulated second floor that could be two bedrooms and a bathroom if we weren't poor  .

lol it's been a couple years but I paid for linkedin premium to message a bunch of recruiters and the few that responded just said "sorry can't help". it was pretty devastating, but I definitely give up too easily on these things

try googling recruiter companies near you and cold call them that way, they'll at least take a meeting even if you never hear from them again also depending on your state laws they might be preventing from touching anywhere that you've already applied yourself recently, so keep that in mind

I am interested and looking for hope. this is probably a trap, but some code boot camps are legit and will bend over backwards to get you hired somewhere. I 4xed my income and have not and will never be anything other than a decent developer. the benefits, flexibility and opportunity are pretty astonishing as a former retail/service worker.
