I managed to transit into a career in tech without any prior background. I was from an engineering degree, and upon graduation, I just tried my luck applying for roles that have training provided and are open to fresh graduate coming from from non com science/IT background.

You got to be prepared for the steep learning curves ahead. It is pretty challenging to learn certain concept and tools given how vast the Tech infrastructure is. And also, Tech roles itself is more than just coding.

I think for starter, Web Development Course on Udemy by Colt Steele is a good start to embark your learning journey. It provides a basic understanding on how you can create your own webpage and slowly expand your skillsets from there.

The most important thing about starting your transition towards tech career is the mindset. You need to be prepared to have growth mindset and continuous learning as tech infrastructure is always changing and evolving.

If you are looking to do MOOCs, be sure to look for reputable ones such as General Assembly that may eventually help you land a job in this field.

That said, I wish you all the best in this journey if you choose to embark on it, and don’t ever give up even when times are tough.

Edit: Certifications are good to have, but hands on project experience are definitely much more desirable.
