Check my other comments on this submission - I got into BigTech without doing any coding too - AWS ProServe.

But I am self aware enough to know that isn’t a repeatable process that most people can do anymore than “selling potatoes online”.

I don’t have to “market myself”. My job at AWS fell into my lap more or less then after leaving, with that on my resume and LinkedIn profile along with my other experience, people reach out to me. I don’t spend time trying to be a “thought leader” online.

i have 139 followers on twitter. i don't tweet about tech. "marketing" is simply one html document on the public internet that clearly communicates to technical and non-technical people what you can do for them. not what skills you have.
