Switching from Customer Support to Software Engineering
I have been working in support for the last 6 years and have had a decent growth in my professional career so far. However whenever I think about the future, I get a little scared.
Even when I check on Grapevine, all I see is Software Developers and Engineers making real good money, even the ones that have only 2-3 YOE. I barely see anyone here from the support sharing how great they are doing.
I am currently earning 20LPA and I am not sure how far I can get in support vertically and hence have been thinking about learning coding and moving horizontally to Coding to ensure a better future I guess.
Is it worth it?
P.S - I have done BSC, so I have like the nare minimum knowledge and some basics of it.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
Which company do you work with? I have 2+ year of experience working as application support engineer. If there is any opening in your org can you pls refer me
Go for business analyst or pm roles.. It might be more suited
How would you suggest transitioning into the PM roles?
Worth is relative - if you're are you comfortable with the likely scenario of earning <30lpa total for 3yrs after you start your software development career THEN yes
That's a good point. Being the only bread winner in the family, the flexibility of earning less or starting again Is something holding me a bit back.
