Hi I am 29 years old with over 6 years of experience in sales and customer support I am currently start working in an IT company as a senior sales executive so I realise that i start love coding I have done MCA as well but not good at coding so choose the different path but now I am realising that I am doing almost same thing from last 6 year's no new thing I have learned so I am decided to start my career in coding again so I want to know how to start?

Ans: It is best to stay in sales and take any online certification course offered by reputable online coding platforms. Please add job alerts about coding jobs to your LinkedIn account if you have one so that you may stay up to date on the latest trends in the job market and advance appropriately. You will benefit greatly from frequenting LinkedIn. You can also attempt any offline certification by going to classes on the weekends or in the evenings. Do extensive research on the course curriculum, job guarantee or assistance, reviews of the course or institution, fees, course duration/times, etc. before enrolling in any certification course, whether online or offline. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
