Take UCB CS61A (at https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/sp22/) and CS61B (at https://sp21.datastructur.es/). You can now go build whatever you want, but if you want to dive deeper you should also do CS61C which is about computer achitecture.

Not a berkeley student.
Because I tried a lot of courses and before finding this https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/ortnef/a_..., it should be self explanatory.
Nope, they are just introductory courses, but they are good foundations to build upon.

Not MOOCs but college courses open to audit. Hands down the 3 introduction courses at UC Berkeley: CS61A, CS61B, CS61C. It's CS50 on steroids, spread across 3 courses. Tried a lot of things before finding those, nothing comes close.

Prep for LeetCode in order to pass interviews (self-taught).

I'm also learning on my own, I don't have a particular book but a course to suggest: https://sp21.datastructur.es/. It's pretty good for a first encounter.

I'm learning Computer Science by auditing University of California, Berkeley CS61A, CS61B, CS61C. Later I will be learning web developement through Full Stack Open.

Do you know where someone can find other such stories? In more details if possible.

Can get my hands on the 2nd edition for cheap, or is the 3rd edition required? It's quite expensive.

> I'm willing to pay top money for top work
How much is top money for you? Maybe that's where the problem is.

Are you hiring?

I'm looking to work for a US/EU company, from where I live. I'll take a look at the reddit thread, thanks. For now, I target small companies from AngelList + the who is hiring thread from HN. What do you mean by coding background?

Not strictly FAANG related. How do I get my resume past HR or even noticed a little bit? I'm self taught, from a third world country. In the US knowing HTML/CSS/JS Framework gets you a job, so its not skill that holds me down. I'm working on my portfolio right now to make it more professionnal, but apart fom that? Any input would be appreciated. What would you suggest if I'm looking for a US/EU job?

Scams aren't supposed to last long, no surprise.

Well done mate, you're an inspiration. In a few years you'll get that FAANG job if you want it, finger crossed.
The problem for me in getting a local job, is I have to go back home (I'm from a poor African country, there are no jobs there and if there are the pay is "shit"). I live in France right now, they are not so so keen on the remote thing, plus the fact that they still really care about degrees, mine is in business. What hires the most, back or front end? I'm leaning more toward back end stuff as I find it more fun, but I would change if it affects my chance of getting a job.
What's your background by the way? STEM or completely unrelated? How hard is it for them to hire a contractor? Does it involve a lot of paperwork? An on my side, what do I have to do? How about part-time jobs?
PS: Shoot me an e-mail, I'd like to stay in contact with you if that's ok.
