There are only a relatively few places where you can make six figures writing code, and they aren't places everyone would be happy living. So you need to consider what kind of non-work life you want to live. Also nobody is making six figures with only boot-camp experience.

Yeah, hate to break it to you but starting salary here in NYC is about 100k. If you have a 4year degree or a bootcamp and you get through the interview, we pay you the same.

When I started 9 years ago bootcamp grads made significantly less. My first gig, starting was 60K, now I'm making close to 200k.
