I am 37 and also had to do a career change, suddenly for me because of the pandemic shut down all live events which is the field I was in. I got a job as a backend dev in September and totally understand what you're going through.
I have about 10 years of programming experience, all self taught. But it was all in desktop work. I started studying web dev when I got laid off back in March.
So I didn't do a bootcamp or any formal training, but I wouldn't recommend it. So it took me about 5 months of backend studying and trying to get a dev job.

This is very encouraging to hear! How long did you study, and did you go to a bootcamp or learn on your on time?
