No degree
Looking to move into SWE role at FAANG sometime from now. (Maybe a year or two).
I'm currently at a unicorn (not Rackspace) as a SE (solutions engineer) and I work mostly with infra/security and some VERY light JS problem solving.
I'm bouncing between getting a bachelors and/or Fullstack bootcamp to get the skills/credentials to move into a FAANG. I know nearly no one at any FAANG's currently, so referrals will be difficult.
Question: Should I get a cyber sec degree within a year (WGU) and then go through the bootcamp or should I just stick to projects and bootcamp before applying at FAANG's?
Light me up fam.
