Is it too late to switch to front-end development at 23 with no programming experience?
Hi everyone,
I'm 23 years old
I have a diploma in Multimedia Development and then completed a Bachelor's degree in Mobile Application Development. The problem is that during my studies I focused much more on graphic design than programming because I couldn't find opportunities in development, and eventually I started working as a graphic designer, video editor, and motion designer.
I'm currently making around 4,500 MAD/month, and while I'm grateful to have a job (agency), I don't see much long-term growth in my current position.
Lately I've been seriously considering switching back to programming, specifically front-end development (for now)
My concerns are:
• Is it realistic to switch into front-end development with essentially no professional programming experience?
• Will employers care that I graduated a while ago but never worked as a developer?
I just want to make sure I'm investing my time into something that has a realistic chance of paying off.
I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have made a similar career switch
Thanks!
