I am reaching out to seek your guidance regarding a career transition I am planning. I have been working as a Senior Analyst in a product-based company for the past four years, primarily in a support role. My responsibilities include maintaining systems and interacting with clients to gather requirements. However, my role does not involve technical work, and I have recently decided to shift into a technical position.
To prepare for this transition, I have resumed coding and subscribed to CodeChef Premium. My roadmap includes completing the “Learn Java” and “DSA” courses to build a strong foundation. While I am motivated and committed to this path, I am uncertain if I am on the right track. Additionally, I am concerned about potential challenges I might face when switching companies after spending several years in a non-technical role.
As someone with extensive industry experience, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Could you advise if my approach is effective or suggest any additional steps I should take? Also, any tips on navigating the transition and overcoming potential hurdles would be invaluable.
Looking forward to your thoughts and guidance.
