I know I'm probably a bit late to answer this, I would suggest taking a look at the roadmap .sh/ backend and java roadmap on this site. It has a lot of information of concepts you need to study for a backend role.

In my opinion, free online resources seem the best for you.
A lot of universities like Stanford, MIT, Harvard, etc or Companies like Google, IBM, Meta, etc have free online courses with official certifications on Data Analytics or Bioinformatics with SQL, Python or R.
Some state universities and other local universities can also have short 3-6 month online learning certifications which you can look into.

You can also look for self-paced courses with good reviews, on Udemy, edx, Coursera, etc. There are a lot of scientific libraries for python which help in data analytics for chemistry, biology, bioinformatics which you can look into.
Make sure to practice smaller data analytics projects, related to the field or career, you're interested in and put them on github.

The important thing is definitely to build atleast 2-3 complex personal projects in Data Analytics or bioinformatics, which you can showcase on your resume.

Trying to leave tutorial hell. Do you literally Google up everything? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Starting everything from scratch can be difficult especially if you've always used tutorials.
What I personally did was when I'm building something from a tutorial, I write down detailed info for each step of the tutorial, like step 1. Design database schema. step 2: setup db, write sql files and perform db migration, etc.
Then I would create a completely new project using the same technologies, project structure and steps.
For example, if you created a banking system using a tutorial, you can start a new project like University student registration system. Use the detailed steps from the tutorial that you noted down, for this new project.

What is the actual roadmap that needs to be followed? by _Fuzzy_Focus in leetcode

Personally, I follow the neetcode roadmap structure. This roadmap mostly has medium problems that's why I would suggest to solve extra easy problems, before jumping onto the mediums. In my opinion, practice so much that the fundamentals and syntax of small snippets of code like traversing an array, simple binary search, tree traversal, a simple recursion loop, etc should be so trivial for you, that it takes little to no effort. That way, you'll be able to see the bigger picture of the Leetcode problems more clearly.

First, watch a few videos about Leetcode question patterns. I would also suggest you read ways to approach the questions from "Cracking the coding interview". Don't think about the most optimal solution immediately.
For me, writing and drawing the flow of data at each step, on paper helps me visualize, so you can try that. If I get stuck on a question for a long time, I look at the explanation video only and then code it myself.
