I want insights on this for a friend.

I graduated from Hyderabad with a degree in Electronics and later pursued a non-IT course in Canada. While I don’t have formal experience in IT, I’m passionate about the field and have built a few websites by learning from YouTube. Now, I want to transition into an IT career and am looking for guidance on how to approach recruiters. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks

You can review the entry level programs at tech companies and try to get in through those. You can also try getting into AI area.

Will they be accepting the one with 5 years of gap in the entry level and can you suggest any trending courses that can get me into entry positions?

I would reach out to recruiters on Linked in. I have done that plenty of times and been really lucky to find good recruiters that helped me find roles.

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help.

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.
