Career Change
If you were in your mid-thirties and wanted to enter tech from scratch, where/how would you? My background has been primarily in wellness with some non-profit including a little communications, UI design/front-end code & project management
Network into exciting series A companies (where you can work on everything you want) if you thrive in uncertainty, are scrappy, don't have high income needs. It doesn't matter what role / title you take initially because startups change every month.
Lowest barrier to entry is sales. Sales -> Technical Sales -> (figure out if you really enjoy banging away at the keyboard) -> Product or Dev
Thank you all! I really appreciate the advice.
I'm 40. It can be done. Went back to college and had a few buddies in my class that were similar in age. Time flew by quick and we all got beter jobs because of it. One guy was a handyman and is now an ME.
How’d it go ?
If you have UI design, front end code and proj mgmt experience, i wouldn't say it's from scratch. You could build on that expertise and look for PM type of roles. Good luck
