Do you mind briefly discussing how you made the switch? What courses did you take etc? I am considering switching into IT and would love to hear how others did it. I am currently enrolled in the Google IT course.

I applied for a trainee role in my current organisation, no coding experience required they wanted people with business knowledge and to train them up. Took a pay cut to start too. They offered training courses and I did a lot of study myself. I was doing a degree level apprenticeship, which I started 3 years in, but it actually wasn't very good. Lots of self learning and pluralsight, udemy courses. I have collegaues who went the route of coding bootcamps and were successful in getting junior roles.
