Having a career in tech is the new cool, with the latest trend with people transitioning from a non-techy background to tech because of how promising the field is and the countless opportunities that abound. Jobs are readily available for people with tech backgrounds because we are in a digital era.
My journey into the tech world was due to difficulties in securing a well-paying job and the numerous opportunities that come with being a tech person. Getting a job in Nigeria seems like a futile journey with no end in sight. A tech career offers the assurance of making it soon as long as I know my onions well with a robust and meaningful portfolio.
People in tech work remotely, which shields them from the hassles of moving from one location to another or getting stuck in traffic. Working as a tech person will provide me with the luxury of enjoying such benefits that are relatively scarce in non-techy jobs.
I started my tech journey because of the financial stability that comes with the profession. A quick search about salaries will reveal the mouthwatering money they collect as take home which is very difficult to get from other fields. I started my tech journey in UI/UX design to solve problems, design beautiful user interfaces, and give users a mind-blowing experience when interacting with a product.
