> covid peak in 2018/2019

That was before COVID though so I think you mean 2021/2022. 2018/2019 was a perfect time to have gone through a boot camp and get just enough certifications to get hired in a 6-figure job in 2021/2022 and then to get laid off in 2023/2024.

I meant 2019 but admittedly I only know of the Polish market and choices most "normal" (statistically) people make - which is to study the thing at the university without getting any job experience in the meantime. Here bootcamps were something maybe 1-2% of people did.

So if you started in 2019 you'd be graduating right into the "layoff" market in which juniors have virtually no possibility to get hired.
