My wife wants to switch from accounting to tech..

Which area in tech would be much easier for her to switch to based on her accounting background though she never worked as an accountant.

She uses excel well.

This is great! I'm glad to hear this.
As a girl at the forefront of technology myself,I would advice she learns tech skills that would be useful even in her career; data analysis, data science,etc

But if she wants to venture in tech alone fully, I'd recommend she learns some others related to her interest.

The best part of technology to go into today is BUG BOUNTY HUNTING, you work from home, decide when to work and you are paid almost immediately for your work done. You can use only your phone to work, No need to to write application letter, the work is already out there with good pay. Just Google "Bug bounty hunting?" to know more.

Tech is amazing! I've spent previous 13 years(up to 2022) working as a Civil/Structural engineer, specialising in designing both domestic and commercial buildings. But you know what? My love for technology has always been there I've even taken the time to teach myself programming languages like Python and Ruby. And during the whole COVID situation, I decided to pursue an online MSc in Data Science. It was a challenge, but I made it through. By God's grace, I landed a job as a devOps Engineer last year, and currently, I hold the position of Senior DevOps Engineer at a cool FinTech company.

I'm very proficient in Jenkins, Linux, Ansible, Terraform, and I'm no stranger to various AWS services. Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana. I now want to lay my hands on Google Cloud and VMWare, as they seem to be a must-have skill in today's job market (to be honest you can have a great career without GC and VMWare) and I'm up for the challenge.

You know, in the grand scheme of things, there are no limits to the exploration of human knowledge and how it accentuates one's self actualistion. We can keep pushing the boundaries until our very last day. So, why not go for it and win!

Please I want to learn too, am a psychologist, resigned from my banking Job, I want to go into tech, how and where do I start from?

All you need is to learn the skill, no coding is required, and you can learn and earn with just your mobile phone.

And the best place to learn this


Where pls

Cos she does not want online but physical instructor .

She should go back to school for a Masters in Computer Science. All these things you learn on Udemy and YouTube will not lead her anywhere.

Unless you want her to be on Nairaland hassling people to come edit their photos for #2000.

Masters in computer science ?

It's a fact that 90% of Nigerian computer science students can't even code ..

So how would a masters in computer science come into play here .

as if they are jobs in the tech she wants to switch to. why not encourage her to write ICAN and become a chartered accountant.

The u know the number of chartered accountants that are out dear without jobs ?

Do u know the numbers that have died as a result of work related stress.

Organisations would employ you as a chartered accountant ..na u go still dey keep petty cash book ..

It's easy. Data analytics is the best route.
From accounting I self-learned HTML, PHP, JavaScript/Node.js, Python, C#, ... the list is long. I have a colleague who is a Java and C# guru, same accounting background. Mind you those were the days you have to read books and documentations and no video tutorials. We learned the hard way.

From my experience, the best route for a newbie is Data Analytics and Visualization, which can all be done in Excel, no single coding! Power BI is also an important tool to learn (easier than Tableau).
If she wants a tougher challenge, Python and/or R for Data Analysis.
If she is artistic and loves design, front end development (JavaScript) or Adobe suite for graphic design.

Thank u so much
