I’ve worked continuously for the last 25 years (bar a years mistake going back to college), mostly in admin/finance based roles, some excel (general formulas, pivot tables and data manipulation), integration of users to software packages, learning tools, HR systems.
It’s not a focussed role, and I feel like a change and clear path is what I need.
I want to earn a little more money (£25k atm), but its not my main focus, I’m not looking for something super highly pressurised, just want to enjoy what I do and earn a comfortable living.
I think what I want to do is full stack, with a focus on becoming a back end developer. I’m not a very creative person and a semi-semi professional introvert so front end, designer roles etc just wouldn’t fit that well I dont think. I have also checked out data engineer but that seems high pressured.
Of course there’s going to be some pressure in any job but, a not head exploding level would be desirable!
I’m UK based but due to where I live, being a homeowner and a disability, any job opportunities outcomes would be online preferably.
I guess what I’m looking for advice on is :-
Would another role suit the experience I have and what I want next better than a FS/BE developer?
Online and part time bootcamp course suggestions? I’ve read a lot about Northcoders, General Assembly, Springboard and Careerfoundry, mostly seem reputable from what I’ve read.
Maybe a little disjointed this post, but if anyone can suggest a career (or careers) that fit around the above needs or point me in the direction of specific pathways, that would be great.
