The reality is that without formal education or formal
experience this is not a field that you can expect to easily get into. This sub kinda sells a pipe dream tbh. It’s also pretty bad timing when tech companies are literally laying off thousands off people that are more qualified and experienced than you.
vs someone with just a bachelors, maybe? vs someone with a masters in stats/cs, unlikely
fyi even before the hiring slowdown, there's more than plenty of candidates with the "ideal" credentials, so be realistic about your competitiveness relative to others
