Find a mentor. If you're not finding one at your current agency, start finding people on LinkedIn whose work you like and hit them up.

^^ this. Or even just IG, It works more often then you’d think.

Thank you but I am looking for someone with broader knowledge than another advertising professional.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
