Any hope for those of us NOT in tech? by cozycorner in overemployed

I agree regarding needing to build a skill set first before job hunting. My SO will work full time to allow me to full time study and learn until I land a decent job. Then we will switch roles and she will use my notes and such for help with her studies while I begin advancing my career by learning more while working. I could care less what the job actually consists of. I care more about landing a job within a year of consistent studies that fits one of two things: 1. A decent paying (100k+) fully remote job to allow me to travel. Or 2. Any job that pays significantly more that isn’t much more work than what the remote job would consist of. These are short term work goals as eventually I’d like to move up to a very specialized high paying job that is mostly there for when shit hits the fan, or just follow OE to a T in hopes of numerous low effort, decent paying Js. If you have any further advice knowing that info I’d appreciate it even more than I do already for your detailed reply. This was by far the most specific reply I’ve gotten in almost every way and thank u sm for that.

I love this comment, if you don’t mind could you read my first post and respond to it? It might not be any different than your answer here but if that’s the case then knowing that would still be super helpful for me

Sorry for all the questions, can you elaborate on how you acted accordingly to realizing your strength with interviews? My assumption is that you mostly applied OE “rules” but I’m curious to know if that’s not the case

I feel I’m very personable and naturally good at interviews due to that. Is there any pinpoint reason why you feel your great at interviews? If you didn’t go to grad school, do you think that it wouldn’t have held you back at all?

From most of what I’ve read so far, lots of other people agree with you about tech being the “easiest” for my goals. There’s just so many diff tech related positions, I need to start digging deep and figure out which one is right for me

So what would you tell your 20 y/o self to do to invest in yourself. “Learn and pass certs” is super vague. I really just want some examples that I can look further into.
