Looking for career advice and what types of projects should I attempt?
https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer This has everything. Start reading if you want industry level knowledge. Courses wont get you to that level. Also while reading you can implement all of this!

I've spent 5 years curating a gamedev resource mega-list, and now I've released it for free!
This collection was shared a lot in the past, still a good list of game programming related books: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer (my favorites here are the Game Programming Gems and AI Game Programming Wisdom that I collected in the past).

It is possible the get into the game industry without any graduation or things like that?
I'm more into programming... At the moment I only have experience in web dev (html, css, js, react etc).. I'm starting to read some books from this guide https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer Also I watched some guide on YouTube on how to use UE5 and unity... Maybe in 1-2 year a can define myself as a (junior) game dev.. For the moment I'm just scratching the surface.. I made this post to understand if this effort will be repaid somehow...

Are there any resources that go through a published game's code and explain it's architecture in both, high and low level?
There are not that many, I learned a bit from books like Game Coding Complete and Game Engine Architecture. There are obviously others that are not that high level, they get more into real-time topics like rendering, AI behaviour/navigation, etc. (Books that appear in that list for example: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer)
