How to retrain as an electronics engineer?

Question

Electronics

Hello.
I've been thinking about this issue for a long time. I'll start from afar.
As a child, I soldered small "rattles", then, with the study of programming, I moved away from the soldering iron and electronics.
Studied as a programmer, at the Faculty of Applied Mechanics and Mathematics. I work in automated process control systems (PLC, SCADA), I program in C, ASM.
About two years ago, I began to diligently solder again, read literature on analog-digital electronics, in the future, I plan to do this professionally and get a job.
The question is not what books to recommend, but whether such a retraining is possible - from a programmer to an electronics engineer?
I looked at vacancies, wherever electronics specialists are required, you need a VO in the profile "physics, electrical engineering, electronics".
What do you think? Do you have examples of Success Story? :)

Answer 1

What city are you in? If from St. Petersburg, I can tell you where to turn.
You need a good teacher. Then you will progress very quickly.
As for the requirements for the vacancies "physics, electrical engineering, electronics" - never mind. VO is considered by candidates without experience, and even then, they write in order for something to be written in the vacancy, such as they will choose. In your resume, stick out your experience and a great desire to work in electronics.
And in general, do not take the requirements of vacancies to heart. Everything is written there, all the terrible words that they know. Just send your resume.
Retraining is possible, if there is a desire, you are only at the very beginning of the path.
Easily hired in various military institutes, research institutes, NPFs. They have a severe shortage of staff. At the same time, money may or may not be in such an office.

Answer 2

Get theoretical knowledge in digital and analog electronics, logic, get a job in some budgetary organization "on bread and water", where obviously they will not require serious experience.
Gain practical skills and possibly free time for your own hobbies.
Well, or immediately look for a more promising company and try to interest her in yourself.
