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
