Title: I studied humanities in university. But I&#x27;ve been programming since I was a kid, so it was a natural career choice. I regret not doing CS. I work for a public sector org and have been promoted to a senior developer.<p>But I still don&#x27;t think this is enough for me to make the move to FAANG or other tech companies unless I stay here for a long time to rack up experience (I only have 2 years SWE experience at this point). Also, as the org I work for is not a tech company, I&#x27;m not sure how seriously recruiters will take my time here.<p>I&#x27;ve studied data structures and algorithms, and I think I am a decent programmer. I could probably progress quite quickly through CS50 or some other online course. I just don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s beneficial.<p>This topic online is full of misinformation and people just trying to sell you a course. So this seemed a good place to ask.<p>I&#x27;m UK-based by the way.<p>Thanks.
