@averdesh Hi Andrei, thank you! It took me more than 2 years but I am sure it can be done much faster. It really depends on how many hours your friend can spend on learning and how deep she dives into CS concepts and languages. Before I worked in HR. Good luck to your friend!
@nickmanurung Unfortunately, it depends on the interview process of the company. Algorithms and data structures problems are still very common, so it's better to be prepared. Good luck with your search!
