Hi
I am currently working in finance but want to move to tech/information technology eventually since it's a growing sector. Any suggestions on how I can go forward with it in the most beneficial way?
Should I get into a program? If yes, which one would best suit me to get myself going in tech as I have no prior experience there.
Can I be self taught to expect good companies reaching out?
Just need some ideas to get going.

Please help!

There is a difference between working for a tech company or working in a tech capacity at a tech company.

The first requires only that you transfer your skillset to a new company.

But are you suggesting you want to abandon your background and do more software development?

There are online bootcamps that you can learn to code in 8-16 weeks or something

Hello Fishes,

Post my MBA (Fin), I've been working in a bank as a Relationship Manager for over a year. I've realized majority of roles in banking are sales profiles (also less learnings and repetitive work) . I'd consider myself a good analyst rather than a salesperson.
Though I am doing decent in this role, feeling out of place here. Could you please suggest some profiles in banking industry where I would be able to use my financial knowledge, analytical skills and learn something new.

I’ve been doing ID for about 2 years now. Mostly slip and fall and WC work. Long-term, I want to move out of ID. I’m currently interviewing at a firm that does ID, but mostly does insurance coverage opinions. They also do some more complex ID, such as L&E.

With the ultimate goal of moving completely out of ID, would this be seen as a step up? I appreciate any and all feedback. TIA

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
