Ive been in operations and management mainly since i was 16. This year ive decided to improve my life and learn to code with a goal to be a software engineer. Currently still working but looking to break into tech in a support role to start. It’s definitely a big change and im working hard to make it reality. But the whole job process from reaching out to interviews and everything is very tough these days. How was everyone else’s experience changing career paths like this?

Well it’s not as glamorous as it sounds haha. I worked my way up to operations management in a retail establishment. Then i got a position after a lot of hard work for an e-commerce business near me on Long Island NY. But it’s not for a tech company or anything. It doesn’t pay too well and has no benefits. I need more growth and better pay.
