Are you feeling dissatisfied with work and thinking about making a career change into tech?
You're not alone. 1 in 4 workers left their jobs and are looking to change careers post-COVID.
The questions we get asked the most at Tech Sisters, by far, are around getting into tech. Women tell us they're unhappy with their current jobs or degree programs because it's not aligning with their values or sparking their interest like it used to. Working in tech gives people the ability to work remotely without too much hassle. You can create a work-life balance that suits you instead of changing your life to fit around work. And let's be real, high tech salaries play a huge part in why people want to join this field. Tech is a level playing field (or at least more level than most industries). And it's big enough that anyone can in and find their place.
But making a career change into tech isn't easy! Among lots of other things, you need to think of what role you might like to have, learn completely new skills, interview in ways you never had before, and navigate a very different work culture.
It's a journey I made five years ago, and I'll be interweaving my personal story of how I got into tech throughout today's episode.
