Not sure what you been by “help”. Anything that teaches you something new helps. If you mean someone will see it on your resume and say “OMG, we better hire this guy/gal” probably not.
If you luck out and get a question that you wouldn't know the answer to were it not for the course, then I guess it helped.
I was thinking maybe if a recruiter is on the fence about reaching out, that might make a difference, but I'm pretty sure recruiters never read any LinkedIn profile and are 100% automated in all cases.
Understood from the poll above that it has very low to 0 impact in the final hiring decision. But how to get a call? For ex, if I'm a Mech or EE working on engg but not SWE, and have 10 yoe, how do I make recruiters call me for a screen in the first place? What are some tips to get that onsite if I have no "relevant" SWE experience? Again the goal is a 500K TC at FANG :-)

At the interview, it makes zero difference.
