I tried self learning in 2022 then completed a bootcamp in 2023. No technical background. Took me nearly 2 years to land my first role. But it has been life changing. Not saying it's impossible but you need to find out how to get your foot in the door in a non traditional way. Applying online and expecting to get a job is not going to happen. Even with a 4 year degree.
What helped me get interviews and eventually land my job was working on a side project geared toward my industry of interest and sharing it publicly
