Sometimes it does. I've seen people go from the business side to the informatics side. I've seen nurses go from that side to the informatics side
Rarely does it happen usually the person ends up taking a cert or some other education to make that move. These major companies that you recommend ,often teams are split by buildings sometimes even campuses so even interacting with other teams is rare. HR is also extremely slow with loads of red tape at these companies which again makes this type of move very hard because there would probably be 10s of people that would need to sign off on it.
I used to work as a contractor at a faang company for 2 years along with many other contractors and hardly anyone was able to successfully apply for a position and get it as a full time employe. There where many contractors including me who were as knowledgeable as the fte's but still had no luck making that move. Contractors did about 60% of the same job fte's did but yet very few had success applying let alone getting a full time position.
Companies for whatever reasons hardly let people make these moves same way companies already expect employees to have experience. It's easier to make these type of moves at startups where there is less red tape.

What's a technical customer service position?
Job title would be something like technical support engineer. It’s external facing support for like a software product. Skills needed are usually SQL and JavaScript (or Python).

Why don’t they just do 2 year contracts? That way they can’t leave without paying back the employer and the junior employee gets job experience. It’s win-win
I just started down the same path as her.
Only I’m not paying for no bootcamp.

I’m going down the same path as well. I will start applying in December. Only I won’t be marketing myself as a newbie.
It seems like a lot of new self taught coders think they know enough but they don’t.
And they also don’t prep for interviews well so they come off as being more amateur.
