You and me Anon, you and me
Essentials of compilation by Dr. Siek. There’s a GitHub repo. Just navigate to the releases and you will find a pdf https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation/releases/tag/python-MIT-press. This book is really good and it’s practical. There’s a lot of code and it guides you along the way. So it’s a great book to self study. To supplement this you can buy Engineering a Compiler by cooper. This is more comprehensive but there’s no code in this book, only pseudo code. Start with essentials of compilation my friend. It will teach you everything you need.

The dragon compiler book (2nd edition) is a great book
You can try this book if you want something that came out this year https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio.... Go to the releases to either get the racket version or python version. But I mean cmu uses the dragon book second edition for a graduate level compiler optimization class.

Why Learn Compilers
This paper is my favorite introduction to compilers, it's short and hands-on: http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf
There is a book-length expansion of this paper that goes into more detail: https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio...

As a self taught developer how should I go about getting a job?
I learned to write compilers by reading "Essentials of Compilation." You can find a free pdf in the book's repo https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation/releases/tag/python-MIT-press. The book is published my MIT Press although right now the racket version is out. the python version is coming out soon. the link that I just shared is for the python version. This is a great book . I recommend it
