I recently started working as a software engineer and don't have a degree. Build a strong portfolio of projects. Supplement missing courses with MIT, stanford, etc from Youtube. Don't take short cuts. Learn data structures and algorithms. Be upfront about not having a degree. Call yourself "self-taught" it will cause you not to be so anxious. Well, that helped me be less anxious.
