I know someone who was working an amazon warehouse job (as a regular entry-level warehouse worker, not as a manager or anything like that), did the internal amazon "learn to be an swe" training program (forgot the actual name, but iirc it is a 6-9 months long program) right before covid, and then converted to a SWE through that program. Currently, she is still employed as a SWE and makes typical amazon SWE salary rates (significantly above $150k). No tech background whatsoever.
This is still definitely possible, with a caveat that it just might not be as doable right at this specific point in time (given layoff waves and recession and all).
