4 is a good point. I majored in film. Went to a UX Bootcamp, and was hired as a UX Designer. There I learned Javascript while getting paid. Caviat: I knew html/css since high school and was kind of coming full circle back to it. Still no CS degree, although I've had some brief periods where I felt imposter syndrome (namely only when prepping for coding interviews, not for day to day stuff).
I'd also recommend broadening your scope to Smaller businesses who still need digital technology/website devs. Not all companies you work at will have prestige, but they will take a chance on you and can lead to bigger better things if you so choose.
Applying to smaller businesses is a great point. (Personally, if I were still a workaday dev I'd have less than zero interest in FAANG companies and would almost exclusively want to work for smaller businesses, so it didn't occur to me to even make that distinction while writing.)
