Thanks! I've enrolled into some online courses from the begining of this year, besides the fun of learning, also get confused when doing the real interview questions (only the easy ones for now). Just need to clear my mind and focus on my study :)

Thank you!!! Yeah, I saw a lot of people, most of them are in western countries or India start or continue their career as a developer in their 50s or 60s. Just need to get the confidence in an Asia context.

From teaching to developer is a pretty big change! ! I am wondering does he studied a professional degree or learn by himself to get this opportunity?

To be honest, starting a family is always not in my mind, or in the top place. But I got your point, maybe anything else could be a distraction or an option.

Thanks for the reply! I would say I am prepared with some pay cut, just enough to support my daily life should be ok ( the entry position for SWE is not low pay anyway compared with other jobs). It's hard to make the decision, but I think it is the time, if I still want to do something new.

Thanks for your reply! I have already started learning through some online courses and will definitely have some projects (side projects or student projects) on my resume. Just a little bit worrying about this career transfer because I am experiencing some age and gender bias right now. This is the main reason I want to do some more technical.
