Career advice for people with bad luck 6 years ago
my 2 cents: there is rarely a shortcut available and is hardly a 6 months course work designed to get into google or the alike unless you have a friend or family member who guides you through the whole process and points you to the right direction, not least giving hope and motivation.
you have to develop a sustainable long term learning habit to hone your skills without being getting burned out and without hoping a dramatic success in the short term.
To get noticed or get an interview you have to identify people there and somehow get them forward your CV and/or build some proof of your skills in form of personal projects which many others like you dont have. Chances you are, you will get atleast an interview somewhere at big tech, if not at google.
