Changing careers takes a lot of planning, patience, and practice. Foremost, you need to have clear-cut career goals so that you can break them down into actionable steps.
You cannot jump out of one career into another one without a plan, especially if you are considering an IT career.
1. Be specific about why you want to change careers
First, think about your reason for switching careers. Is the dissatisfaction in your current career caused by a burnout? Are you tired of the repetitive tasks in your current career and yearn for something more creative? Is there a career you are passionate about and you are willing to explore?
If the solutions to the questions highlighted can only be answered by changing careers, then you should take the step to change your career.
2. Research career options
Research the career options available in the career path you desire. Read about different careers, check the requirements, the deliverables, the salary structure and identify the skills you need to learn.
