Career change into IT, with a sustainable plan

You can get into IT at 30 or 40, coming from a different field. Not in 30 days and not with just any course: you need to choose the role well and have a plan that works alongside your current job.

The questions people usually bring

  • Which role suits me? Developer, DevOps, cloud, data, support, QA?
  • Bootcamp, university or self-taught?
  • How long does it really take?
  • How do I get my first job with no experience in the field?
  • Does my previous experience count for anything?

How we work

1

Your starting point

Skills you already have, available time, financial and family constraints.

2

Choosing the role

Based on you and on the real market, not on the latest video promising dream salaries.

3

A step-by-step study plan

Curated resources, many of them free, with goals you can check every few weeks.

4

Portfolio projects

A few things done well, which prove real skills to whoever has to hire you.

5

Resume, LinkedIn and interviews

For your first role, making the most of the experience you bring from another field.

What I tell you straight away

  • Nobody can guarantee you a job, and be wary of anyone who does
  • It takes months of steady study, not weeks
  • Your previous experience is an advantage if you can tell its story: people coming from finance, logistics or manufacturing bring skills many developers lack

Frequently asked questions

No. I work with people who change field even after 40. What matters is a realistic plan and steady time to put into it.

For many roles, no, but you need to prove your skills with concrete projects. For some roles, such as data scientist, a quantitative background helps.

Some do, others much less. Before you spend money, I help you assess the curriculum, the instructors and the real outcomes of the one you are considering.
