I should have been more specific and did not mean to exclude the other 4-5 months in his half year estimate. I meant to say no other background/experience to the position that would qualify the candidate for the role other than fast.ai v3 part 1. I love fast.ai and would still recommend it to all. I just think that the chances for getting into internships in that period, given the difficulties/inefficiencies/biases in the hiring process that even OP has mentioned, are slim.

Yeah I don't think it would be easy. I'm not in a data science role, but I do hire for software engineers. And if someone came to me with "Hey I'm trying to be a software engineer. I finished this boot camp 4 months ago, and since then have built these really cool projects. Could I work for you as an intern for the next 6 months to break into the field?" I'd totally say yes.
