Started studying Java using the MOOC by Helsinki University, finished and started using alura, finally figured out my deficiencies when I discovered the open courseware of MIT, learned about advanced Java coding, and a lot of computer science and math.
The entry level interviews varied a lot. Some companies expected high level of proficiency in algorithm, clearly suffering from highly skilled hacker rank coders. Real life is way too far from HR and they fail to understand. The interview that land the current job was an interview with more soft skills and ability to code based on requirements and tools existing in the code base.
More about how much do I really worth for a company.
The first and most important thing to start coding: avoid C and Dynamic languages like JS and Python
They're powerful, but strongly typed languages and even C++ to some degree offer a better grasp of how a computer works. Also, discreet mathematics. A lot of understanding of this field makes coding less confusing or witchcraft/wizardry. So, learn Java and be good with Discreet mathematics.
