>Some background: Early 30s, no programming experience.
So instead of getting an education and finding an entry level job, you want to go straight to the top.
I'll put it this way, I have over a decade of experience and I've interviewed at 2 of the FAANGs. Never got hired though.
I've still made a ton of money . More money then I ever thought I would. You probably need to be more realistic. Even if you're only making 120 or 130k , That's still much more than most people ever will.
