Umur 30, nak tukar career ke tech tapi takut dah lambat. Realistik ke?
Sekarang kerja admin gaji stagnant. Minat coding, dah belajar sendiri sikit. Nak switch ke tech (developer) tapi umur dah 30, takut employer tak pandang, dan takut buang masa. Ada orang switch lepas 30 berjaya?

Tak lambat langsung. Ramai orang switch ke tech lepas 30 dan berjaya, termasuk kenalan i yang dulu cikgu sekarang backend developer. Realiti pasaran Malaysia: employer tech kebanyakan pandang portfolio dan skill lebih dari umur atau degree. Path yang jadi: (1) Fokus satu stack, jangan belajar semua sekali. Contoh web dev: HTML/CSS/JS then satu framework. (2) Buat projek real, letak kat GitHub, itu portfolio kau. (3) Consider bootcamp lokal kalau perlu structure, tapi banyak juga belajar free (freeCodeCamp, etc). (4) Apply junior/intern role, jangan malu start bawah walau umur 30, first 1-2 tahun tu bayaran pengalaman. (5) Network kat komuniti tech Malaysia (meetup, LinkedIn). Advantage kau atas fresh grad 22 tahun: kau ada maturity, work ethic, dan soft skill. Jual tu. Umur 30 tu awal lagi, kau ada 30+ tahun kerja depan.

Skill admin kau bukan sia-sia. Banyak tech role macam business analyst, product, atau project coordinator yang leverage pengalaman kau plus sikit tech knowledge. Kalau pure coding rasa berat, consider role hybrid ni sebagai jambatan masuk industri.

Jangan quit kerja admin dulu sampai kau ada offer atau portfolio kukuh. Belajar malam dan weekend. Aku transition sambil kerja lama, ambil masa 1 tahun setengah tapi selamat dari segi kewangan. Bahaya kalau quit terus tanpa runway.

Aku switch umur 32 dari sales ke QA/testing, sekarang automation engineer. Testing tu good entry point sebab less gatekeep dari pure dev, dan skill sales aku (communication) jadi bonus. First job pay potong sikit tapi lepas 2 tahun dah lebih dari gaji lama. Jangan tunggu rasa ready, apply je sambil belajar.
