Heya, Just wanted to let you know that I don't have a degree (nor do I know know FEA, transducers or electrical prototyping are) I've been in the industry for hmm, a little over two years now, getting on perfectly well so if I can get in, so can you B) I actually applied for a graduate role (after being turned down plenty of times) and partly through sheer luck, an opening in a different city being unfilled, and a bunch of self directed learning, I got an offer Partway through, I actually left the graduate program through a bit of sneakery (I applied for a regular dev role and passed the interview) and have been working as an SRE ever since. I happened to have a decent background with the skills required (Python backends) but my brief experience with React came in handy as we've flipped some internal APIs into self-service internal products and so on Personally, I'll usually poke around people's Github profiles out of personal interest, as part of the interview prep process, but I don't assign any weight to it if there's not much to see. More like a cool added bonus but nowadays I don't publish much that I work on :) For reference, I think I was 22 when I got my first role and I wasn't someone who had been programming since a young age (although I had picked up a bunch through osmosis reading eg; HN and so on) but there are people who make career moved even later in future None of the above is necessarily actionable but I guess just know plenty of people have been in your shoes before so don't think it's impossible or even improbable!
