Hi, I'm leaving Citi in 2 months.It's hard to make this decision. I have an offer from a small startup.In citi, my previous experience was not considered and was reskilled to different tech which is the reason for change.I don't like to exit citi. As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?

When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.
First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?
Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.
Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:
(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid
(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

do your own software projects
The fastest way would be to take on a swe role at any company that will take you. The pay will not be very high, but you will effectively get paid to learn.
Ultimately you want to develop the depth of CS knowledge and SWE experience and can choose paths with varying commitment - pursue a CS bachelor or master's degree, do a boot camp, or continue your day job while doing eLearning and side projects to get you there.
It depends on your risk tolerance, available cash, and desired day to day experience and work life balance. If you have the time and resources, then I'd recommend the slower steadier CS program, but the other options can get you there as well.
Good advice,the best way to learn to code is ‘To Do it’..I have seen a free CS50 course or something from MIT or Stanford (don’t remember)..pls google,it covers all the fundamentals
Enroll in a coding boot camp / academy which are like 3-5 month-long programs and cost $10-20 K. They will teach you A TON and take you from a non-CS backgrounder to an entry level of higher SWE. They also have a lot of connections and help you get recruited into a role.
Don't go with the cheapest one. Go with the one that has a solid reputation and student placements in companies.
I carved a path by leveraging my experience as a systems analyst. Did the whole bootcamp ordeal and somehow landed a job at a well know tech company a year later. May not be the best way but leveraging some niche you currently use could be a shortcut to get a SWE job.
