I get really frustrated when I see people and companies online selling unrealistic dreams when it comes to coding education. I teach backend development skills at https://boot.dev and try my best to give students realistic goals they can reach for.

If you’re learning efficiently, it probably won’t take more than 2 years to get “job ready”. Depending on where you’re starting from, becoming a backend developer in 6-12 months can be a very realistic goal

“Yes” to all of the questions: 4-6 months to “job ready” “Yes” to most of the questions: 6-9 months to “job ready” “Yes” to a few of the questions: 9-15 months to “job ready” “Yes” to none of the questions: 15-24 months to “job ready”
