From what I understand, large corps might care, but that might be the only door you can't get a foot in. About to find out how true that is. Everyone around here says if you can program you can get a job. Well, I'm not planning on a bachelors so I'll see.

Unrelated non-stem bachelors, about to finish an associate's in CS. IT work for years but none programming. Have applied to several places for internships with no luck.
The most responsiveness I've got so far was simply being a little attentive and interested and not being afraid to speak up. There's a couple places that have expressed interest, but I'm not sure I would like the culture.
No portfolio. The companies around here don't expect much from entry-level devs. From what I understand, most don't even ask technical questions during interviews. They just want to see a little passion for programming.
Still would likely prefer a local job than moving to SFO, so AA and HR are last resorts imo
