Lets get straight to it, i got a degree in biology, is this a related field? The degree is generally trashed by people with more technical degrees, but do note Biology is part of STEM.
I would like to be a software development engineer. All the jobs at Amazon say you need a CS or related degree. Makes me kind of sad

Is it easier to get an interview with a CS/EE degree? No doubt. But, There are plenty of people in tech that never completed CS degrees. They are self-taught and/or completed a coding boot camp.
Also keep in mind that job descriptions tend to require more skills than most people have. And they still get hired :)
Just keep getting experience and changing companies to get more experience, until you find the right company to stay with.
Isn't that a complete U turn after spending 4 years studying Biology ?
