> When applying without a CS background how tough are the technical interviews? It's very rare, in my experience, to be asked a pure CS question in the interview. For some positions you may be silently expected to have some degree of familiarity with CS concepts, for other - especially entry-level - positions you don't need CS knowledge at all. Being able to produce working and good looking code is all most companies want from fresh employees, I think. It's unfortunately still hard to find people with that skill, but if you have it you can learn everything else. In short: apply everywhere, go to interviews and don't be afraid. You'll be pleasantly surprised (I hope).
