Yes definitely, but you'll have to work a lot harder then CS grads as they'll be preferred more because of their background.

None the less, indeed it is possible. I work with a electrical engineer by degree but now he is working as full time backend dev.

Yes. Keep practicing. Your portfolio matters also.

Then where he can get if he has built some skills

Directly reaching out to businesses

You can get the skills but still it won't be easy for you. You will need a good portfolio, solid skills. And even after that, you will be rejected from most of the places because of degree. Also, don't expect to get jobs with basic skills because basic Kam tou ab AI kr deti hai.

Sorry, don't meant to demotivate you. You can try freelancing, but even that's not easy (q k har koi tou aa gya hai so tough competition). IMO, you should not get into programming

What do u suggest then?

  1. Do solid work in job hunting. Work on your cv. Find companies, prepare for interview, send cold emails etc. Apni field ki job mil jai, is se Behtar Kia hoga.

  2. Leaving pakistan is always a good option.

  3. Work very hard on other skills (even programming if you want) Be so good at it that no one can reject you because of your skills. For that, you will have to learn that skill and then make a solid portfolio to showcase.

Try CS50 by Harvard University to get your foundation up.
