Hi I have worked as a graphic designer and a 3D generalist since 2017-2023. I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelors in Computer Science and took a job in that field. I am tired of coding and want to get back into VFX and CGI but with an actual job this time. How should I go about it?

Any and all advice will be appreciated!
