This is exactly how I pivoted to this industry in 6 months. 2 hours a day studying on the clock is 10 hours a week, on top of my outside studying. I tried putting my coworkers on too, no one cared 🤷🏻♂️ legit gave them a blueprint to what i was doing lol.
Learning a high-paying skill while working at your job is one of the smartest things to do to get ahead.

Do i have a degree? Yes, I was a social worker for 6 years who pivoted into this industry. Transferable skills + certs + hands on labs is the sauce, anyone can pivot with the right plan and resources. Bootcamp I took was @MyTechBF 💰✨.

Your first tech role probably won’t be 6 figures and that’s okay, it’s an unrealistic expectation set by social media. But you WILL hit that mark after experience and job hopping 🙌🏻.

First tech offer was 80k, second offer is 120k+. Job hopping will give you a raise that you’d potentially be waiting years for in your current position. Always be open to new opportunities 💪🏼.

The only way to beat inflation is to raise your income. Really no other way, you’re down 5-6% a year if you ain’t making more money. Leveling up should be the focus ✨.

I’ll die on this hill lol see it holistically, i promise you, you’re ahead of folks when you’re heads down and studying 1-2 hours a day. That’s too much for em.
The competition is weak & soft, it really isn’t any reason for you not to be financially lit today. If you have decent work ethic & a little sense you’ll be able to out produce 90% of people.
