I think Bootcamps are only useful if you apply the knowledge learned to build your own portfolio projects that you can show off to employers. Getting a certificate isn't enough.

I've taken a Web Development Bootcamp on Udemy and am currently completing a Python Bootcamp while doing portfolio projects, with the hope that I'll have a portfolio site with a bunch of projects ready to go soon before I start applying for jobs again. I don't know if it'll work, but it'll feel good to have something tangible to show off during a job hunt.

The Data Science/Analytics is probably a safer bet, especially if you enjoy it. I'm not an expert though.
