How to switch to tech from non tech?
Is it worth it?

What job are you looking for? Tech pays higher in some job areas but I'm not sure if it's worth it for something like sales.

I'm in CS Operations

Most other nontech jobs are less paid but the WLB is better (unless its sales)

What positions are you thinking of?

Which job positions are you interested in?

Front End Developer

I am currently a Program Manager at Amazon who used to be an EA.

Has anyone had experience doing this, and what was your experience like? I’m very conflicted.

HiAll, My lead resigned and my manager informed me just 2 weeks before her lwd on this and asked me to take up all their responsibilities. I don't think this is not a professional way to handle things and KTs are not properly given. I'm really worried if this will affect my career. I'm not really interested to work in this project. I have tried many ways to release me from this project . But manager is really amendment to release as there is no senior member in the team.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.

What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!
