Q1 of this year has been a bad start for the tech sector so far because of multiple layoffs in major companies. Although I’ve seen some people still get a job despite the odds. How has your Q1 been so far?

Managed to get a new job. Starting I'm a week or so.

I've applied to countless jobs over the last year. From that I've gotten a half a dozen or so interviews. And from that ZERO offers.

Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime.

What is the best way to begin a transition from a help desk job to an actual career path in IT? I’m getting close to being at my current job for a year, however I have a lot of experience in the tech field, which is what landed me this job without any actual IT background. I definitely feel over qualified and under paid in the position I am in now, and looking for the next step towards an IT career. Any advice would not fall on deaf ears. TIA
