I did a grad scheme where a consultancy trained me for 3 months and then worked for them under contract for 2 years. I studied humanities at university and had never coded before. The first 2 years were very hard and it felt like swimming upstream the entire time as I didn't have that basis. It was only at the end of the 2 year programme that I actually felt like I could provide value independently. A lot of my knowledge is very applied and I've noticed that I lack the CS fundamentals which sometimes makes it a bit harder as I'm having to learn 'basics' as I go. In fairness my role is a Data Engineer now so it's a lot lighter on the more traditional CS areas like Data Structure and Algorithms.
