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!

I'm motivated by your words.
I'll like to start somewhere, please what should I start with as a novice.
I'm a biochemist but deep down I really loved tech mostly coding.

Data related field.

Cybersecurity Specialist, deals more with Governance, Risk and Compliance.

Cyber Security is more than GRC bro...But GRC is a soft landing for transitioners.

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.

Easy ? better stay with accounting.

Dey play.

Undergrads of 16 - 25 that self learned on FCC, Udemy, Coursera, YouTube and mastered DSA on leetcode and hackerRanks are earning computer professor annual salary in 2 months.

You don't have to be Charles Babbage or Turing before you chop in tech.

Pick your weapon ( which was likely built by some guru more proficient that you ), master your weapon and do the damage properly. Comfort is yours.
Lol@ pick your weapon.

How?

The first thing is passion, Passion for creativity and how computer/software works, Coding is hard, so if you don't have passion, you will chicken out.

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.

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.

Your story don't add up. What's the relationship with data science and DevOps engineer?
Re: Switching From Account To Tech by Nobody: 11:46am On Jun 24, 2023

Business Analysis

If she want to get inspiration of who has done it nd helped others, she should check on Eno Eka on instagram. That lady is an award winner, from Acct to Tech BA.

Also, your wife's skills are easily transferable and she could fit in any industry or easily work in any financial industry this time around as a BA
