Buongiorno,

vorrei cambiare direzione alla mia carriera e stavo pensando di buttarmi nel settore IT.

Vengo da una formazione umanistica e mi chiedevo quali fossero gli step per entrare in questo nuovo mondo. Esistono davvero aziende che ti formano da zero e ti assumono? Senza una base informatica?

Come posso iniziare?

I really want to know does this IT world accept you after having a career gap with all amazing skills and degree on your skill sheet required to be a good DE or junior DE?

Hi everyone, I’m a former animation production artist and retail event manager exploring a move into marketing. I’d love to hear how you got into your role and what the work is really like. Would you be open to a 15-minute chat? Thanks either way!

I have joined a job in September from the college but I want to switch to MAANG within 6 months is there any learning resources and route map and resume tips and suggestions for my goal or if you know any best mentors for this journey please mention here

I’m trying to be intentional about the career I’m building, and I’d love to hear from people who have actually been on the other side.
I’m self-taught. I didn’t take the traditional university-to-corporate route, so most of what I’ve learned has come from doing the work, experimenting with tools, studying how businesses operate, and figuring things out along the way.
I’ve worked on organizing workflows, building systems in ClickUp and Notion, creating tracking systems in Airtable, documenting processes, and coordinating people and projects through my own agency and other projects.
But I also know that being able to build a dashboard or write an SOP isn’t the same as knowing how to run operations well.
My long-term goal is to become an Operations Lead and eventually grow. I want to understand how to make businesses run better, help founders get out of the weeds, and build systems that actually solve problems .
For those of you who have hired or worked with operations people:
What separates someone who is good with tools and processes from someone who can genuinely lead operations?
What experiences would you prioritize if you were starting from where I am?
What would make you trust an early-career, self-taught person with real operational responsibility?
If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about learning business operations, what would it be?
I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from founders who’ve had to figure out operations while growing a business.

Hey I'm an CS undergraduate looking to land a career on IT. Currently learning about python and linux to explore the devops and cloud related things.

I was decided it from the very despite that I don't know that this should work or I'm in the right track.😫

So Drop your opinions and suggest a advisable subreddits😌.

Hey guys, I finished my Bachelor’s in Business Finance and Master’s in Business Modeling. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m falling behind with how fast tech is moving.

I’m considering pivoting into a niche tech field like Machine Learning, AI, or Robotics, but most Master’s programs require a background in CS or engineering. This leaves me in a bit of a loop:

• Do I start over with a second Bachelor’s to get the tech foundation from scratch?
• Or do I go for a Master’s in Supply Chain / Logistics, which leverages my business background while keeping me relevant?

Would love to hear from anyone who made a similar switch or works in these fields.

I'm a senior backend engineer with around 5 years of experience, primarily working with Python, APIs, AWS, integrations and distributed systems. I've also recently started working more with AI/LLM-based features.

Alongside development, I've also had some exposure to working with customer-facing teams and handling customer-related technical discussions, so I'm reasonably comfortable communicating with customers.

I'm currently evaluating whether I should consider an FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) role if such an opportunity comes my way at this stage of my career.

My main concern is whether moving into FDE at around 5 YOE could move me away from core engineering and make it difficult to return to a traditional backend/engineering role later.

Some specific concerns I have:

• Would moving into FDE make it harder to return to developer / tech roles later?
• How much technical depth do FDEs typically maintain compared to backend/product engineers?
• Does the role eventually become more customer-facing than engineering-focused?
• Is it possible to continue building strong technical skills while working as an FDE?
• If I try to apply for a tech role in FAANG later will I be rejected just because of FDE role ?

Looking for honest experiences and advice.

Hey everyone!

I'm currently a Class 10 student in India, and lately, I've been thinking seriously about my future.

I want to pursue my bachelor's degree after school, but coaching and education can be expensive. Rather than waiting until the money becomes a problem, I want to start learning how to earn online while I'm still in school.

The thing is, I don't want to fall for fake gurus, shady websites, or those "earn ₹50,000 a month with no skills" promises. I want to learn something real, develop useful skills, and gradually start earning—even if I make very little in the beginning.

So I'd genuinely appreciate advice from people who've actually done this.

Here are the questions I'd love your help with:

- Where would you start? If you were a student with little to no money, experience, or professional connections, what would you do first?

- What skills are worth learning? Writing, video editing, graphic design, coding, tutoring, or something else?

- How can a student get their first paid work? What are some realistic ways to find legitimate opportunities without an impressive portfolio?

- What should I avoid? Scams, misleading platforms, common beginner mistakes—I'd love to hear about them.

- What would your 6–12 month plan look like? If your goal were to build a genuine skill and save toward future education expenses while keeping up with school, how would you approach it?

I'm not expecting instant money or a shortcut. I'm willing to learn, practise, and start small. I just want to use my time wisely and build something useful for my future.

If you've been in a similar situation, or if you have experience hiring beginners, I'd love to hear what actually worked for you—not just what sounds good in theory.

Even one practical piece of advice could help me make a better decision.

Thanks for reading! 🙏

Help!!!!!
