First of all welcome!
I hope the comments here are helpful. We would love to have you -- if I could speak for the world of software engineers at large -- make the transition, your fellow engineers are here to help!
The Changelog did a podcast about Sean who learned in public. By being humble and open to learning he bootstrapped his way into a career. He mentions FreeCodeCamp and then did a paid one after but your results may vary. Check out the conversation here: https://changelog.com/news/P5Gg/visit https://changelog.com/news/P5Gg/visit (I've no affiliation with The Changelog other than being a fan).
How do you like to learn? For me videos don't really work. I mean they work to get the basics but I have to build something to really get the knowledge in my skull and to keep it there.
There are a number of free resources via Youtube and Github like this (https://github.com/ossu/computer-science https://github.com/ossu/computer-science) that just require the investment of time. Consider a blog to log your learning over time the feedback could be valuable.
I hope that helps. Find me on twitter @gigatexal and via email alex at alexandarnarayan dot com
