Seems like if you can create some rudimentary projects and then grind leetcode until you can knock off mediums/hards like a piece of cake, you can take a stab at even some FAANGs and other top tier tech companies. You may need to do some networking or otherwise attract the attentions of a recruiter or employee. But I've seen quite a few LinkedIn articles about Joes and Janes who come from a non-tech background and managed to land top tier jobs at FAANGs, etc. by doing just that.
