Why I changed careers

The number one question I got asked in interviews before changing careers is why I decided to change from structural to software engineering. In this post I share my reasons why.

A long story short, I started programming for the first time whilst completing my thesis. I was required to write an algorithm for a mathematical model, which I enjoyed so much that I decided to take a break after completing my degree and teach myself computer science before committing to a job. It very quickly became apparent that this was the direction I wanted my career to go in and I have five reasons for making that change.

Final Thoughts

So those are the reasons I made the change. I don’t regret the decision at all and can highly recommend doing it. Have a look at how I changed careers for the steps I took to make this all happen.
