Any tips on studying while working full-time? I’m generally off by 5p and work from home. Two dogs and a partner, so not too much stress there.

And, if it helps at all, I’m starting with FAR.

I am not embracing the notion that you shouldn't have to code to do data science. However, I think coding may soon be much less of a competitive advantage.
