Transitioning from IT Support to Software Development: Seeking Advice
Hello,
After six years in IT Support, I've come to a realization: my current job lacks the learning and growth opportunities I crave. Each day feels like a repetition of customer support tasks, and I'm eager for a change. I've decided to make the leap into Software Development.
To equip myself with the necessary skills, I'm considering enrolling in an online learning platform like CRIO.DO, Scaler, or Bosscoder Academy. However, the fees for these courses are substantial, each exceeding 1 lakh. Before I commit, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences:
Which platform would you recommend for someone transitioning from IT Support to Software Development? Have you or anyone you know successfully transitioned careers through these platforms? Do you believe enrolling in these courses will truly help in securing a Software Development role? I appreciate any insights or advice you can offer as I embark on this journey of career transformation.
Thank you! 🚀🔧
Before enrolling these hefty fee courses. Try looking into freecodecamp, nptel , udemy, youtube.
You will save bunch of money. Learn there build some tools. Directly jumping on dsa will kill your motivation. First do proper hands on.
Learn the basics first .
I joined scaler, the most expensive of all paid courses mentioned and besides adding me a whatsapp group
to network and see job openings and I didnt find anything useful in course.
If you have discipline, you will master from tons of material on youtube and blogs but if you are easily distracted/afraid then joining n number of courses will be waste.
