i found an article that breaks down how someone can make this transition. it's not easy but totally doable with self-study, building projects and earning alternative credentials like coding bootcamps or certifications.
the key is being persistent and having clear goals ⭐️. you need to dedicate time every day for learning new skills , whether that's through online courses on platforms like coursera, udemy, freeCodeCamp. also working real projects can help build a portfolio and show potential employers what u've got under the hood.
i'm curious - has anyone here made this kind of switch? how did you approach it?
any tips or advice for someone looking to make such an epic career leap would be super helpful!
