SE Dilemma

So I’m trying to switch. Apparently my resume is not getting any responses. Possible reason : I’m not skilled enough. Since past two weeks I have started up skilling myself by doing DSA and reading different articles. (Obv this is along with a full time job)

The dilemma is I cant decide if I should resign and properly prepare for the interviews or should I continue as I’m doing right now.

Because there lots to learn and the time I’m dedicating is not enough.

Ps: I’m a non IT guy with ~2 YOE trying to learn and adapt to IT world and new tech stacks.

Any constructive suggestions would be really appreciated.

1)Please continue as u r doing, currently the job market isn’t great. Try to utilise ur weekends if possible. 2)If you could afford no pay for few months then go ahead with upskilling..

This is not a great time in the job market to try to break into IT.

Continue with your current job, and keep upskilling slowly in IT on the side. And you can switch to IT in the future whenever the job market becomes better within 1-2 years. Good luck! 👍🏽
