Sales to IT Transition Advice
Hi! I am a 2019 CS passout and after engineering worked in my family business in mechanical sector as a sales executive. I am no longer interested in this field and thinking to shift to IT by relearning MERN.
1)Currently i am 27 YO so is it too late to join IT as most people of my age are senior devs/tech leads? 2)Will IT industry(startups/MNCs) accept me with no prior experience in dev as compared to recent passouts?
If you’ll could advise me it would be of great help.
I might get hate for this anyway i am going ahead
There was supply demand for IT guys couple of years back, now there is huge supply but very less demand
My thought is like IT people made money and everyone wants to work in IT. There will less supply in terms of mechanical, civil and huge demand for those folks which might couple of years
So take call accordingly
You’re absolutely right. It has already started, in particular mech sector i have seen a candidate switch between competitors multiple times in a year due to lack of supply.
But i am not liking the work hence the question.
If you have already made a decision. Go ahead. Why are seeking validation from random people from internet
Kisi ek me hi likho, dikhega common me.. Me jab naya tha GV pe aisa hi Kiya tha, kafi logo ne daant lagai thi.. 😉
Thanks! Kr diya delete bro
I myself 2019 mechanical pass out am struggling to get a job in IT after having all the necessary skills with no prior experience hardly you will get interviews
Yes, have heard about the ongoing recession. Have you learned through self study or through other means like bootcamp?
Even experienced people are not getting calls so for first timers it definitely is difficult, all we can do is try.
