Designing a tech career road map

You have decided that you want to get in to tech but have no idea how to start? this is usually the

dilemma for a lot of people especially people without tech background,so you are not alone a lot people are as confused as you are and the question is how do i transition.

Most people don't ask enough questions before transitioning into tech when they start.This makes them to get stuck and confused. I will be sharing some tips below that i learnt from yewande odumusu on youtube on designing a road map into tech.

transitioning into tech is difficult these are basis questions that should be asked:

1. what skill do i have

   • are you good at writing,speaking or maybe you like to solve problem these are skills you can use.

1. what do people say i am are good at

   -what is that thing you do that make people give you compliment

   1. what are my strength

   2. what motivate me.

   3. what topic or skill do i know more than most people in my circle

When you finally have answer to these questions the next to do is to:

-   Explore your interest

-   take intro courses on all your areas of tech interest and know which align with you best

-  know if you want a linear or non linear tech career tech

-  volunteer for projects to get real life experience

• join a tech community

• get a mentor-{online or offline}

• build your knowledge and keep learning

• apply for internships,freelance, and project based work.

Now that you know all these this is what i need you to tell yourself:

-  I would take intro courses and find one that resonate with me and focus on it and learn all the necessary skill i need to achieve, before trying out my other tech interest.

-   I will join communities where i can interact with people and learn.

-   I will be consistent and focused on learning.

-  I will get an online mentor.

I believe you better informed now
