Transition to a tech role
Hi, all. I am 35M, India. Currently working as a lecturer in a college teaching CS subjects. I have freelancing experience of developing end-to-end dynamic websites using PHP, MySQL. Additionally, I am Microsoft AZ-900 certified. Planning to transition to a tech role. I have a good grasp over Cloud concepts along with AI and ML. I am following backend roadmap from roadmap.sh. I have recently acquired a certificate "Major in Artificial Intelligence" from IIT Ropar.
I would like to transition to a backend role.
Shall I upskill myself by learning other related technologies. Shall I do more freelance projects. Since, my current job is full time, I am squeezing out time whenever I can and try to learn.
Any suggestions, resources or guidance will be helpful. Thanks.
