Use a source like teachyourselfcs or ossu to self learn CS and DO REAL PROJECTS (it's what separates the theorists from real programmers, and showing you can actually get your hands dirty is extra important in your case; don't worry too much about algorithms [your background might lead to you sepnding too much time on them and not actual programming] until you can actually program well using things like assertions, monads, and lamdas). If you're willing to put in the money, consider an interview bootcamp like interviewkickstart (they teach you stuff like algorithms, whiteboard interviews[harder than they look, especially in a high stress situation], etc.) They're very expensive, so I would only consider them if you fail a bunch of interviews and need a fresh perspective.
If all else fails, consider something like triplebyte (although their interviews tend to be more production and less theory oriented).
More than anything, given your background I would recommend getting your feet wet by taking on a project about 2 sizes too big for you, and learn what you need on the go (

hope this helps
