Dear All
I got my Bachelor degree in Computer Science in 2006, after that I worked as a software developer for one year and a half. Then, in 2008, I changed my career to supply chain domain. I am still working in the supply chain, warehouse manager (12 years). Now, I want to resume the software development career, in the machine learning or general software engineering. Also, I am planning to immigrate to Canada or the US, currently I live in the Middle East
I made the below steps to get into the field again:
1- Started my master degree in Software Development with an American university, online
2- Planning to take several Udacity nano degrees, related to machine learning
3- Started taking Coursera courses about data structure and algorithms
4- Started learning Python and refreshing my Java knowledge
It is a bit mix of feelings, I have a strong desire to come back to software development field and start my new life in Canada. But, I have the below concerns or questions that I need to clarify:
1-My age now is 39 years
2- Are the above steps enough to get me into the field again? if not, what do you suggest?
3- How the employers will act upon my career changes and return, after those so many years?
4- Is there any special advice in my own case
5- Do you recommend me to make this change at all?
6- if I started, shall I start from an entry level?
