I’m interested in transitioning into this field and would appreciate guidance on how to get started, particularly as I continue building my technical skills. I have access to a reliable home computer and laptop and am committed to learning and growing in this area. My goal is to obtain a remote position, and I would value any advice, resources, or next steps you would recommend.

You have to be way more specific, there's a lot of fields within tech: software dev, QA, cloud engineering, IT/networking, DBA, cybersecurity, dev ops, data engineering.

Some friendly advice, since you aren't even at the beginning of this journey yet, I'd consider another field. Tech has been decimated by AI layoffs and there are thousands of highly qualified people who can't find jobs. The trend is only going to get worse.

There's a debate about this going on in the Google bowl, which I find interesting. Most people are saying they don't have a problem with this, but I think it's deeply unfair.

The argument that resonates with me is that if you move to a LCOL city the value of your output isn't all of sudden worth 25% less.

Curious what others in the industry think.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.
