I'll add this since I don't see it here, see if you can find someone with industry experience to mentor you. I have 12 years of experience and mentored a family member who has successfully moved over from an unrelated field to tech. It's something I was happy to do, but required commitment from him. I gave him a coding project (he actually never finished the project but learned a lot). I also coached him on what to look for in a job and what to focus on learning. Alternatively I think coding bootcamp or community college classes are a great way to show initiative and get interviews.
