Career shifters to Tech.. please advice

Community

Hi! I currently work in a financial company and my experience is purely business and admin but I am planning to career shift to tech.

Im currently working full time 9-5 mon/fri and my current pay is 60k fixed (im not eligible for OT pay and incentive) but I currently have tons of debt that eats most of my pay.

Im considering 3 field - I did little research but nothing beats hearing from those that are in the field itself. Please share your thoughts - Thank you

Data Analyst

  1. Best bootcamp/training camp?
  2. Is this a profitable field/in demand?
  3. How many months should I dedicate to be able to master it?
  4. I have little background with excel, would this help?
  5. Is this ok for part time (possible multiple jobs)

Web Development

  1. Zero background in coding except the little html we did in college, would really be a starter if I pursue this, but if you're like me and did break through wd, please provide where you learn/study?
  2. Can this be learned thru bootcamps/ in a few months?
  3. What is a reasonable starting rate?
  4. I have little background in photography and canva designing (due to being an etsy seller) - would this help?
  5. Should I consider UI/UX instead? which is more plausible?

Medical Coder

  1. I have a lot of cons here since I am not a medical ally, have zero experience and the fee is quite high (HIM 100k+). But per my research, this is an in demand job with high pay so Im quite conflicted. Anyone here who managed to break in this field without medical back ground?

thank you everyone
