I’ll tell you what I did years ago and what I advised friends who have broken into the field. Take a dev adjacent job and after some time make an internal move.

I’ll tell you what I did years ago and what I advised friends who have broken into the field. Take a dev adjacent job and after some time make an internal move. I’ve had two friends start doing software support and after 12-18 months made the jump to a dev role. Having first hand knowledge of the product you’ll be developing is a huge leg up, and companies often prefer hiring internally.
