How hard are you willing to work/do you have programming experience at all?

Just remember you do not need programming to get into a high paying tech job.

Tech is becoming more about leaning into your skills from other domains. If you can provide value, you can be shown how to understand code. Since you have experience in digital and strategy - program manager and product manager roles might prove fruitful.
