How To Choose An IT Career Path

Going into a platform like Cloud Guru, it’s like going into a shopping mall.

Hello. My name is Jubee, the co-founder at Yellow Tail Tech. Where we help people with no IT background get their first high-paying IT job. So today, I want to talk about how IT learning platforms are like shopping malls. Going into a platform like Cloud Guru, it’s like going into a shopping mall.

The Challenge of Overwhelming Choices

There are so many options, so many things to learn, so many attractive new technologies, and so many training tracks. You can easily be overwhelmed and confused, and I get that. And I usually see it with students, with multiple courses started, but they couldn’t quite complete them, they are jumping around. And you see it every day. Students come to Yellow Tail with a lot of incomplete knowledge in many different areas of IT. They haven’t figured out the logical next step to get closer to getting a job in IT. Sometimes they don’t even know what job they are optimizing for, which is a sure way to actually waste your time and money.

So they ended up knowing a little bit about a lot, but not enough to translate into any valuable expertise with market value. And this is usually a lack of direction. It’s like trying to hit a target that keeps moving. The first thing you need to do is to lock in on the target. It’s like IT: the first thing you need to do is to lock it on a career track, and then you are more likely to actually achieve that.
