Which level can be achieved by me in 1-2 years?

Chess passion exists but it should be combined with busy adult life.

It correlates with how much time and effort you put in it. For example: If you do consistent and good puzzle training, have sessions with a coach each week and plays longer timecontrol games. Then you can jump hundreds of ratingpoints 1 or 2 years.

Do you think it’s possible to get to a high rating (like 2400) without a coach and instead self-reflection and lots of books (and videos) to help you understand the next step to improvement?

Of course it's possible, it's just a lot harder to do it without. I have had many coaches throughout my GM chessjourney and do not think I would have gotten where I am today without them.

It takes time and effort. Consistent studying, playing games and analyzing.
