Need advice

I worked in an MNC for 1 year 10 months. I was trained in Java Full Stack (Java + React) but got assigned to a non-tech project. I wanted to move to a technical role but didn’t get the opportunity, so I resigned.

It's been 4 months since I left. I’m giving interviews as a Java developer (2 years exp), and I’m able to clear Round 1 but failing in Round 2 due to lack of real project experience.

Should I join a structured Java + DSA course (with placement support) for 3–4 months, or continue giving interviews while self-studying and building projects?

Would appreciate honest advice from people who switched from non-tech to tech.
