Can someone recommend courses to pursue in order to switch to IT?

I want to switch to IT industry. Aiming for either data science, devops, blockchain, AI/ML, cloud etc. I have 7 yoe in capital markets (finance) and dont want to continue in this industry. Realize that current yoe will go waste, but dont care, IT salaries are worth the switch.

Will udemy/upgrad be a good starting point?

Take any course for basic understanding....or follow YouTube playlist...then apply for internship for practical knowledge.

After this you can apply confidentially.
It's important that you build a strong base.. rather than getting an entery job.

If your goal is to just get into IT then there are many options that doesn't need to code...ETL...DB engineer..Tester..BA..... select something that suits your calibre

Sorry to burst the bubble!

Even if you make a late switch they will pay you peanuts and still there will be a long struggle for you!

Promotions / hikes wont be easy also!

Yeah, it takes time to get high packages, fishbowl has unique examples like 2yoe with 20lpa or more but that's not remotely possible for many...may be some people have such package.
So if you are just coming for money then do consider switching in your field as well.

Buddy if I may, what is your cctc?

My experience at D has been confusing through and through, and I think the company is purposely misleading. Over the course of 1 year, I’ve been in 3 different offerings and gone from a cross-consulting strategy consultant to an Oracle ERP consultant, all automatically based on organizational changes. I’m beyond confused and now 5 steps removed from the area I joined Deloitte to pursue. Despite having *very vocally* expressed my non-interest in my role, they did not lay me off cont.

I’d like input!

I am currently a charge nurse and am in a “Pathway to Leadership Program” that will come with promotions into leadership/administration. I am concerned that going through the leadership ladder will lead to a lot of politics.

I am thinking of getting a masters of healthcare informatics, and would love input from people in both industries and any advice you have!

Would you continue into the nursing leadership ladder or go into health informatics (which also has leadership!)?

I have around 1 year of experience in Java and total 5.5 years in total.

Would I be able to survive,I am a quick learner and deliver projects on time....but first time switching so asking.
