Took me about 2.5 years, but I wasn't actively trying to get into a tech giant the entire time. I personally know people who went straight from a bootcamp into Google/Amazon/Facebook because their ability to solve algorithms was excellent.

I have a copy of CLRS on my desk, but I actually found Algorithms 4th ed to be the perfect level of difficulty for someone with no math or CS background.
