I transitioned to tech from a totally unrelated field, first into support then ops and now data engineering.
To get my foot in the door I got a number of certs including Linux+; security+, networking+, then rhcsa and CCNE. Nowadays a cloud cert would be more relevant.
My advice would be to go get the certs and be prepared to start at the bottom and work your way up. In my first 30 months of working my pay had doubled.
