So you’ve decided to change your career path and want to enter the tech industry. The benefits of doing so are numerous; more opportunities, a career in which you can truly progress, obtaining marketable skill sets, and of course, a high paying job.
Entering tech can be a daunting challenge. This is due to the vastness of the industry, the myriad roles available, and also because of the confusing information (and misinformation) that you’ll find. What do you need to know to get a job? Do you need to be able to code? If so, in what language? Do you need certificates? Which ones? What should you have on your resume? Questions like these and more haunt you with no answer in sight. So the next obvious step is to start doing research, which leads to the next problem.
Online research is a rabbit hole of misinformation. You’ll find that online sources can’t agree on what skills you need, how you should prepare, and most importantly; what you really need to do to actually land that job in tech. Many online programs may provide some information, but they don’t explain exactly how that information is relevant to you getting a job. Other places provide pre-recorded videos which leave you frustrated due to the lack of guidance and feedback. Leaving you with a sense of confusion and feeling lost. Much of the advice is generic with no method of how you, in particular, should apply that knowledge. And lastly, there is a lack of showcasing real world application to what you’re learning, causing a gap in how to convert what you learn to you starting your career.
