Hmmm.....
I think you have a great story to tell. You're a growth marketer learning engineering, so that you can be a one-man growth shop for an early-stage startup.
Bootcamps aren't magic salves, and it can often take 3-4 months for the average grad to find a job. That said, I think you have a much better story than the average bootcamp grad, who are usually coming from completely unrelated fields. You could hit up literally every single seed / series A-ish startup and pitch them to own growth.
Would be happy to chat in person (I'm a self-taught dev myself), contact info in profile.
