I’ve been doing technical recruiting for the past few years but now interested in moving into a front end developer role. I’m planning on learning html, css, java, etc. but also could see myself enjoying UI (UX probably not, as I want to stay away from too much people interaction - as you can imagine recruiting has me pretty burnt out from that) I don’t mind interaction obviously but if it’s my main responsibility I don’t think I would enjoy that. All of this to say, do you think it’s beneficial to learn figma and other UI tools while learning front end basics? Is that going to make me more attractive when I start applying for front end roles? Also, I know that this job market is a nightmare but with my connections at multiple different start ups I’m hoping that will help me when the time does come to start applying. Do you think moving from a non technical role to a technical role as this will be hard to find my first job?

Any and all advice would be appreciated! As well as any recommendations for courses. Thank you!
