Thinking of switching careers to IT? ☕

This guide discusses the learning options: bootcamps, schools, or self-learning

Note: this guide may be a bit lengthy, so I suggest taking your time to read it thoroughly. Just a heads up, I haven't included specific program names or detailed IT roles info here. Instead, the focus is on guiding you to make a well-informed decision for your career transition. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and dive into the guide at your own pace ☕

So which option is good? Any of those options is fine. It's all about what works the best for you. Consider this: your ultimate goal is to secure a job once you've successfully completed your IT studies, right? From the perspective of hiring managers and recruiters, what they care about is your resume, experience, and skills. They will assess whether you are capable of fulfilling the job requirements. Your attitude and personality can also play a role in their decision-making process, which is a topic we can explore another time.

When it comes to switching careers, acquiring new skills is a logical step. Now, the question is: what is your preferred learning style? In the STEM field (specifically IT, in this case), it is so important to be able to consume information effectively as you study IT!

If you find that you learn best with a structured schedule, where you don't have to rely solely on self-discipline, then enrolling in a bootcamp or school is recommended. Note: Even during your studies at a bootcamp or school, you still will need to engage in self-teaching. It's a *MUST*, good practice to maintain this mindset even after you secure an IT job, especially if it involves a lot of developing or deploying. [ Bootcamps & Schools Options ]

There are a few factors to consider: - Costs Generally, bootcamps are more affordable than traditional schools. However, both options may offer scholarships, so it's worth exploring those opportunities. Look into third-party scholarships that may be available. If you have a disability and reside in the US, it would be beneficial to speak with a counselor from Vocational Rehabilitation. Non-profit organizations can also provide support and assistance to individuals interested in returning to education. Studying abroad is another option worth considering. Personally, I chose to study abroad in the UK due to the significantly more affordable tuition fees compared to the US, and because I had a desire to obtain a master's degree in another country. - Instructors' teaching styles It's important to note that not all IT instructors excel at effectively communicating with new IT students. To avoid encountering this issue, do some detective work. Find out who will be teaching you and check out their lectures. Don't hesitate to ask the program manager if you can meet your potential lecturer (ideally before making a decision). Prepare a list of questions to ask your potential lecturer during the meeting. Pay attention to how they explain concepts. If their technical jargon is difficult to understand, they may not be the right instructor for you. Remember, this doesn't reflect your intelligence. It's a matter of their self-awareness. I strongly advise against choosing this kind of an instructor from my experience. - Lessons There are numerous IT job types available, and in a bootcamp, you may not have the opportunity to explore all of them. Bootcamps often focus on specialized programs, sometimes even covering less popular technologies (yes, this is definitely a concern). So you should research IT fields, and once, you've decided on a specific field, take the time to research job titles and similar roles on LinkedIn. Pay close attention to job descriptions and requirements. Create a list of the high-demand skills for those positions. This will help you narrow down your choices when selecting a bootcamp program or school. Look for programs that teach the skills you need based on your research. [ Self-Teaching Option ] You are your own trainer, and you get to design your own personalized learning experience. This option is great if you do not have the luxury to pay out of pocket for a program. It is absolutely not looked down upon by employers. In fact, it is considered one of the essential job skills that employers typically look for in a job applicant. To make a solid entry into the IT field, I highly recommend obtaining certifications and undertaking project-based learning. It's important to focus on certifications and projects that align with the specific roles you aspire to have. Take the time to explore different fields within IT to discover your interests, and then compile a list of relevant learning materials or bookmark tutorial videos. Please be sure to verify that the resources you choose are up to date and not outdated, as IT is always evolving. "Wait, but what about a degree?" This approach is really just aimed at fulfilling the job requirements. Many IT candidates have successfully passed interviews without possessing a degree. Many hiring managers prioritize your ability to learn and apply the required skills. Showcasing your projects on your resume or demonstrating your skills during a technical interview holds more significance. Even if you don't possess the exact skills they're seeking, emphasizing your transferable skills will show interviewers that you are capable of learning and adapting.

Seeking IT post

Sadly, the contract for @fordprfct has come to an end, and he has to find new work. (although 4 years for what was supposed to be a 1 year contract isn't bad - and they jumped through hoops to keep him when his former contracting company was rejected.) I've seen through his coworkers' reactions, he's VERY good at what he does. Jobhunting is much more unpleasant. He works remotely, and I'm hoping someone might know of an opening for him, so here's what he does. I can tell you, he picks up new software challenges like a cat going after tuna.

What are the best IT skills to learn in 2023 to get an IT job in California [ Updated ]

It turned out that among the most frequently mentioned talents in job descriptions for IT jobs in California were IT abilities such as digital literacy, data analytics, and data visualization.

In today's fast-paced business landscape, digital transformation takes center stage. It encompasses a wide array of endeavors, including embracing the boundless potential of cloud technology, enhancing and modernizing IT infrastructure, and crafting sophisticated data and analytics strategies to steer informed decision-making.

Companies are actively seeking experienced professionals well-versed in the precise skills required to drive technological and business objectives forward.

The caliber of skills has improved over time, which is a consistent trend. It takes more than being proficient in a given field to compete in the talent market. On a CV, prospects might stand out from the competition if they have practical IT abilities. Find out which abilities are likely to be in demand through 2023 and beyond.

Basic programming

Even for non-tech jobs, the fundamentals of programming are frequently in demand. Even with a basic understanding of programming, you'll be able to read other people's code, create your simple programs and algorithms, and gain a deeper comprehension of the lifespan of an IT project.

Being able to program is similar to being able to bead, so you can learn new technologies using the languages you've already mastered. The ability to think abstractly and conceptually, which is necessary for many vocations, is another skill that may be developed through programming.

An index states that the top five programming languages in September 2021 will be as follows:

C- It is widely used in the creation of desktop applications for the Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems.

Python- Managers, analysts, and marketers often use this phrase in non-tech business settings. They use Python to work with data in databases, tables, and even Excel macros.

Java- A language used by everyone to create websites and mobile apps. Java is used to create the majority of Android applications.

C++- A widely used technique for games and graphically intensive software like photo and video editors.

C#- One of the best languages for creating desktop apps and video games.

The index is determined by how many results for programming language queries there are on search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo!, MSN, Wikipedia, etc. Thus, programming languages are rated higher as a result of the increased usage of the language and solution searching by programmers.

Low-code platforms

By 2024, it is expected that low code would account for 65% of all software development activities.

Modern software development tools are complex, therefore low-code application platforms (LCAP) like Mendix, Quixey, and Microsoft PowerApps are an alternative. Low-code platforms allow developers to create straightforward business applications with no coding expertise and a tech mindset.

Since creating software takes careful design and upkeep, low-code platforms can be a lifesaver for managers, marketers, and any other users that lack programming abilities and want to construct and update a codebase without running the risk of destroying something. Low-code development thereby enables cost savings from IT outsourcing and frees up IT departments.

UI/UX design

To design effective and user-friendly digital products, an in-depth research is required, as is a grasp of the target audience. Leave those responsibilities to the experts, but learn the fundamentals of UI/UX design at the very least to maintain the dialogue with them.

Consider this: most marketing campaigns are built on digital assets like landing pages, websites, mobile apps, and social media. It's crucial for those who aren't UI/UX designers to stay up to date on the most recent developments in this sector and be able to articulate their ideas to those who are.

Data Engineer

Data engineering, in its simplest form, combines the skills of various IT specialists, including software engineers, Big Data developers, data analysts, and cloud computing engineers. The fundamental activities of data engineering in a corporation that produces enormous amounts of data from various sources are as follows:

Gathering and arranging the data

Combining and evaluating various data formats that were gathered from various sources.

Enhancing the storage of data.

Lowering data storage expenses to maximize the budget for the company.

Python, SQL, Java, Scala, cloud computing services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), and big data processing tools like Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka are essential skills for a data analyst. The fundamentals of distributed systems, as well as knowledge of algorithms and data structures, are also requirements.

Data visualization

Numerous studies have proven that the human brain processes visual information more effectively and increases people's confidence in the material being presented.

The effectiveness of data visualization in a business setting cannot be disputed. For instance, research demonstrates that employees are 28% more likely to find timely information in firms that use visual data recovery solutions than in those that just use controlled reporting and dashboards.

Because of this, the demand for data visualization abilities is rising in the modern workforce. Data visualization is a crucial component of data analytics that enables companies to assess information critically and present it in a comprehensible fashion.

Some of the most popular data visualization tools for marketers, managers, business analysts, and other professions that require working with a significant amount of data are Tableau, Google Data Studio, PowerBI, Datawrapper, and Infogram.

Video editing 

The time when TV and media production had exclusive rights to create videos has long since passed. To promote their goods and services in 2021, 86% of firms turned to video marketing. Videos are used today throughout all sectors of society for a variety of objectives, including marketing, staff development, client onboarding, and presentations.

The widespread use of videos in virtually every part of the business has increased the demand for individuals with expertise in producing scripts and scenarios for films, as well as SEO optimization for higher rankings.

CRMs

An effective sales process is built on the use of customer management software (CRM). Businesses require a 360-degree picture of their target audience, touchpoints, purchase behavior, and customer experience since customers are growing more demanding.

Because of this, managerial and marketing job descriptions increasingly emphasize the importance of having a basic understanding of CRM software. According to the CRM Software Research by G2, 73% of sales managers use CRM software. CRM tools are used by marketing teams 46% of the time, and customer care teams 45% of the time.

Product management

Product managers are typically the front-line representatives of newly produced goods and services. From the concept stage, till the product is released on schedule, they guarantee product success. To do that, they need a variety of capabilities, including strong project management abilities, a deep understanding of the software development process and a business domain, as well as communication, business analysis, and marketing fundamentals.

The majority of product managers agree that a product manager is a jack of all trades. According to respondents in a recent poll, the two biggest issues they face as product managers are a shortage of time (50,8%) and a lack of clarity around their roles (35,0%).

But there is no denying the importance of a product manager. Given that 81% of businesses track the performance of their products, it is obvious that either hiring professionals with product management skill sets or dedicating a full-time position to a product manager is very necessary.

You won't find any ordinary competencies on this list of in-demand IT skills for 2023 and beyond. Businesses need professionals with a strong understanding of digital technologies as they adopt a more data-driven strategy for employee development, marketing, and other crucial operations. So that you can stay ahead of the competition tomorrow, embrace these changes today.
