Self taught devs - how long did it take you to make it to big tech?

I work with a lot of people to break into big tech, specially top tier companies. We have a small number of self-taught developers who we have helped land top tier roles specifically. At Formation.dev , if you have a decent starting point at DS&A, we would probably work with you for 6 to 9 months to be FAANG-ready... that's the range of the people self-taught people we have worked with.
