Hi everyone,
I’m thinking about getting into Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps / Power Automate) from scratch, with no prior IT experience.
My goals are pretty simple. I want to work fully remotely, earn more as I gain experience, and build a career that won’t be easily replaced by AI in the next few years. Ideally I’d also prefer to avoid heavy client-facing work.
My background is more in business and sales, so I understand how companies and processes work, but I don’t have programming experience.
From what I’ve seen, Power Platform looks like a good entry point into tech without going deep into hardcore coding. At the same time, I’m not sure if this path really scales long term or if it becomes limiting after a while.
I’d really appreciate honest opinions from people who are already in the field.
Is this still a good direction in 2026 or is it getting saturated?
Can you realistically grow into solid earnings over time?
How technical do you actually need to get to move beyond junior level?
And what do you think about AI impact on this kind of role?
If you think this is not a great idea, I’m open to other suggestions. What would you recommend instead for someone starting from zero but aiming for remote work and long term growth?
Thanks for any advice.
