Left corporate law at 29 to learn to code and just got my first offer as a junior dev
Sixteen months from deciding to switch to signing an offer letter. Did a part time bootcamp while still practicing law for the first eight months, which was miserable and I don't recommend it, but I needed the income while I figured out if this was real or a phase. It wasn't a phase. Pay cut is significant compared to what I was making, more than I let myself think about during the search, but I'll take it. Happy to answer questions if anyone's weighing something similar.
