In my experience it’s not too hard to get an entry level role at consulting companies like Accenture, Deloitte, etc, there are also hundreds of smaller consulting companies. Create a resume that shows,

1. You can answer basic coding questions 2. You’re able to work on a team 3. You have some soft skills to work with customers to learn about what they want, so you can build it for them

The first step is to get that interview with the above resume. Then when you interview be sure to be transparent about your experience and interests and your desire to continue learning. If you’re working with _good_ hiring managers this is the most important thing to them.
