Hello I want to became a product manager or a customer success manager, what should I major in college? my first year and first semester I’m a computer science major but I don’t like it and next semester I’ll be as a pathfinder because I don’t know what to major in but I really want to have a non coding tech job. Thanks I have management experience as I’m a manager at a fast good restaurant
Hello and thanks for this informative video. I just recently went through a boot camp learning Manual QA/Software Testing. The problem is most job opening are looking for 3 - 5 years experience. Any thoughts on barriers to entry in this field?
@@ronnie_o just get a coach that will train you , help you with resume refer and you’ll be fine !! Fake it till you make it 🙏🏾that’s how a lot got into it !!
@Keeping Up With Quencess Thank you for your time and advise.
We live in an era where the interviews are harder than the actual job
Literally too true 😭
@@Bukola1 this is so true... I know someone is literally on the verge of breaking since its so demoralizing... Another friend got a tech job with six figures copying his resume yet he himself has not been able to get through interviews after almost a year...
@@GoingAery Dang
I am experiencing the reverse of that😄 I was hired as a database administrator and I’m being given a developer’s task daily 🤦🏿♂️
Sooo true!!
I have been a project manager for 3 years and I have never been out of job. Even in the pandemic I was offered jobs whilst many were laid off. Non-coding tech jobs are fun and anyone can do them
Do those positions you speak of require a lot of schooling? Debating on going back to school to get my foot in the door of the industry.
Did you had a degree or anything are u self taught??
how does one go about becoming a project manager?
Fake
@@celicagreen7255 This same RUclipsr made a video before on how she did it without school:
How I Became a Software Engineer Without a Computer Science Degree
ruclips.net/video/2i3v1BbKbs8/видео.html
As someone who had a tech project land in her lap I so so appreciate this walk through. It helped my basic comprehension and understanding of tech roles
Watching an old video of yours help me out in a negotiation recently. You are doing important work out here with tangible results. Keep it up.
Thank you for enlightening us! I’m trying to pivot in to tech and want to go the project management route. Also looking in to scrum and now policy analyst since I didn’t even know that was a thing!! ✨
Great video! You hit the nail right in the head. Manual testing is a great stepping stone into tech. As time progresses though know a programming language and being able to use it with the Framework Selenium is a great asset as well. Automation Testing is slowly becoming ubiquitous now.
That's how I started. I got was able to start as a manual tester before getting access to automation projects. Now I am on track to become a test engineer
It’s so true. Not all jobs in tech require in depth coding skills. Then there’s the whole other debate about whether managers need to know how to code… thanks for making this! ❤️🔥
♡Bukola girll you're literally the reason why I'm pursuing a career in tech thank you so much for sharing your journey with us all this time!!!♡
Love and Light°•☆
You got this!
Super interesting video Bukola! I'll check out that Data Camp too!
Love this video! Been studying up on Agile so perfect timing! 😊
This so good! I transitioned to tech at the top of 2019. Though I was on the path of teaching myself to code I decided that it wasn’t what I wanted as a career. I learned about User Experience Design and became a UX researcher. It has been a challenge but I’m glad I took the leap.
Do you mind charing the challenges?I'm interested in interactive Media design
@@the_god_killah what is interactive media design?
@@the_god_killah Please share what skills you honed to get to your position.
how did you learn UX?
Hi Bukola, Im a nurse and really want to learn something in tech. You’re super smart and I don’t pretend that I can do what you do, but I’m trying to fit in somewhere here. Thank you so very much for your videos.❤️
I’m an RN. I’m looking at tech sales, sales engineer, cybersecurity
As someone who pivoted from music video and commercial directing into big tech, there seems to be a very strong appetite for visual storytellers. Not just the obvious stuff like marketing but also in comms, product and customer success. It's been a fun journey so far and way more fulfilling, especially with products that align with your values.
Hi, have been thinking about visual storytelling. How did you start in this journey if you don’t mind me asking?
@@lizkibuna5839 A bit of a long story but if you're interested I actually have a very quick video about it on my channel trailer. Not a self-plug, it really just explains it in very simple terms.
L
@@RunPlayBackhey, did you ever post the video? Curious on your thoughts :)
More of this video please. I’m currently taking a course for data analyst I have heavy data entry experience.
It should be clarified that the Scrum Master and the Project Manager are 2 completely different roles. If the Tech company has merged the 2, roles into 1 role, then they've created an anti-pattern. I'm actually working to fix this exact anti-pattern with my current role. Another good video sis. Good Day.
Isn’t that just a product manager?
Thanks for clarifying!
Yup, I've seen this problem many times. PM thought process wins out against Scrum master. Enter extreme scope creep
If Scrum's role has to be related to the traditional Project Manager role then it would be a Product Owner and not Scrum Master but people seem to think that Scrum Master is the equivalent one.
@@MashiroRedo no each are different roles. PMI is very clear about that.
A lot of IT operations roles if you have certifications. You’ll have to know some scripting languages but if you’re even halfway on the journey for software dev, you’d excel in a lot of sysadmin roles.
This is true, I don't have a coding background and I work as a tech writer in Ireland
I'm doing Bsc computer science majoring in mathematical statistics and business information systems, learned all about this roles in 1 semester business information systems .thank you
I really needed this, thank you. I wish I could tell you my story but, I dont want to make you read through anymore of my "script" :)
Your videos are always on point and to the point! Appreciate it, and keep up the great work sis!
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you Bukola. This is so timely. Just what I needed at this time. Thank you.
There are so many tech roles that pay well and do not require code. These are just a few
True! Part 1 has 5 more roles:
ruclips.net/video/0_fuiK3b9OA/видео.html
Please can you mention them?
Can you please provide some examples?
Remember the following: software engineers make up the bulk of programmers, although technology spans a wide range of occupations and engineering. Programming is simply one aspect of technology.
Such as?????
I am in instructional designer and I’d say that instructional design is for creatives who also want to be in tech.
Can you please give more insight on this instructional designer
Yes please. Insight please thank you
Manifesting a UX Researcher Role… but now Scrum Master looks intriguing and looking into the CSM certification ✨
Great video. I'm definitely more focused on utilising my PM experience to move into more IT/Tech focused roles. 😉
Perfect timing! I’m currently in software sales as an SDR and have been looking to move on to another role without becoming an AE, customer success has been a role I have been eyeing for awhile
Same
Hi ladies. I've recently been introduced to the tech world that I never knew existed. I have been toggling back in forth for tech sales abs sales engineer. Of course this video has steered me more towards tech jobs that is relatable to my current skill set. But do any of you have any advice on your careers in tech sales, is it hard and worth it?
A lot of sense and thank you. I learned some vital stuff.
I am one of these people!! Thank you for the insight!
3 views and 12 seconds?? I’m so early. The RUclips notifs working!
Thank you for this great video, very useful content 👌🏾
This is definitely interesting as I am planning to do a boot camp to figure out what will best work for me. As much as I have some coding skills which I’m pretty good at , I hate the fact of feeling like I have to memorize so many coding lines to get through an interview…. Hence I’m definitely looking towards non-coding roles which might be less stressful. Those days of looking for mistakes in your code and it turned out to be an invisible space or a forgotten comma can really make you loose your mind & when you finally figure it out … you feel like it’s the best day of your life. Lol
For anyone interested in listening to my journey please check out my channel as I’m going to address that part very soon.
Wherever you've interviewed with sound unpleasant. I can know if a person will be a pretty good fit without giving them a tortuous coding problem. Remember you are interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you. Hope you find your perfect fit!
@@ashleymartin5989 thanks 🙏🏽. I hope so too.
Broooo seriously I was doing a game project just for fun as a teen and my gun didn’t shoot because of a freaking missing comma but that was the best feeling for the task figuring it out I was up all night lol
Thank you so much!!! You're the best!!
As a BA, I definitely think you have to have a mid-strong understanding of SQL. If you are reporting on data, it is important to communicate exactly what you need when talking to the Dev Ops team. It also is beneficial to know SQL because you can write your own code or edit/update queries as needed without waiting for a developer to do it for you while you are trying to make deadlines.
Good to know. I was considering learning SQL
@@dmystfy Yes, I’ve seen where a lot of companies require PowerBI/Tableau knowledge for Business Analysts.
I've been applying to many sql dev jobs and they are tough to come by especially that I do not have experience
Same, I want to be a business analyst. Some companies require you to learn SQL some don’t. I’m learning SQL because I saw that on the requirements
@apriltalksshows But normally isn’t SQL more for data analyst type role. I wanna be a business analyst, what do you recommend to learn, going to have my BA soon
I'm a software engineer and tech writer. I enjoy tech writing more since I like teaching. Open for remote jobs :)
I've been thinking about making the jump. I enjoy teaching as well but I still enjoy programming. Does that aspect continue with tech writing?
@@everythingisfine9988 Yeah. Being a developer who can write gives you the leverage
Please what's the best free online website for learning these skills
Hey Faith,
I am actually looking for tech writer (content writer). Where are you based? How can I reach you?
I'd love to learn more about UX roles from your perspective!
Before I continue watching, I have to subscribe. I love you Channel and you rock Busola❤❤❤
I love this …. There’s also Salesforce and they have lots of free learning platform all you have to pay for is you certification £200 or so
Your contents are so helpful....
Keep them coming
Also look into Release Management and Delivery Management people, another non coding role in tech that pays lucratively
My fave RUclips channel!!!
Thank you for this!
Great topic! Been in software field over 10 years.. There's several roles for non-developer, but responsibilities are important to the project... Thank Goodness 2021 all the roles are visible to many people.. Its no longer Silicon Valley roles only
What are those roles?
I'm a BA and my job is 95% coding in SQL and Python to the point where I'm basically data analyst. The amount of coding you do as a BA depends on the company and role
Wow
Love your videos!!! They are always so informative. Thank you, Bukola !
I really love wat u do Bukola
Love this!!
Systems admin? IT Help Desk? Network Engineer? Network Analyst? etc.
All roles what you mention here requires a IT degree in most companies........in my country (Sri Lanka) it's compulsory to have IT degree for QA, Scrum masters, project managers and business analyst......
Oh that's interesting! I don't think any of my scrum masters here in Canada have had a software/IT degree.
I just got a job in tech for customer success!!! I'm loving it a lot so far
What background do you have. Are there any courses you recommend
@@Indi718 It's in linguistics
I like these eye opening roles on display. One question is how would you maximize your visibility to tech companies when you apply to these roles? I get the feeling applicants from non-tech backgrounds will get ignored even if they have the right skills since they haven't work for tech companies or products.
You have to tailor your resume to the job description. If they see that you showed effort when trying to transition into a role they will call you
@@ebonneenelson2325 That's encouraging to hear. We get lots of examples of what it takes to get hired for a technical coding role but not a lateral shift into the tech industry. It almost seems like you have to first enter as a coder then get these other gigs along the way but I get the sense that is changing.
When your image said technical writing I was like 👀👀👀👀 I graduate with my degree for tech writing next month!
This video was interesting and informative. Glad I clicked. Might look into these
Glad the video was helpful!
When I was new in IT. (SAP) I'm the BA, Functional, Technical and Tester. Those are my toxic days.
yesssss love this topic
#1 Manual QA
#2 Tech Writing
#3 Business Analyst
#4 Project Manager
#5 Policy Analyst
(Why did you leave out all the creative roles?)
I've been in Customer Success for over 3 years. Best community in tech IMO. And amazing career opportunities!
I have few years customer service experience and just graduated in Bsc Informatics, how do I go about merging the two for an opportunity in customer success role ?
@@MrLebohangk I would recommend taking any professional development courses (Linkedin, Udemy, etc) to obtain a certificate for CSM fundamentals. From there, start learning topics such as Growth Marketing and Product Management on a high level. These will ensure that you can work closely with other teams who drive adoption, MRR, etc. while not breaking the bank for courses.
I focused on these while in CX and was able to double my salary in 1-2 years. I moved from a Support agent, and then jumped ship to a start up as a CSM making 6 figures. Hope that helps! Shoot for the stars and apply for LOTS of CSM roles within tech. :)
@@AshlehPWNSyou thank you so much ,this is helpful and applicable will start as soon as possible.
@@AshlehPWNSyou omg thank Ashley , I’m going from Nursing into Tech and I’m really interested in a future CSM role. Does udemy offer growth marketing and product management certifications
@@cuteshntl1 Yes, I just had a look and they have a bunch for both! For GM, you'll likely see courses labelled "Growth Hacking" for example. It'll teach you more about the process of lead generation.
I wouldn't get too hung up on these as they're more important for you to understand the departments/partners you'll be working with closely - I found it helped me understand the customer lifecycle from the beginning, basically. Your role as a CSM will be to drive adoption and retention of customers, and be skilled enough to implement changes to the service experience/product to drive those metrics, so it's all useful knowledge to have.
Hope that helps! Happy New Year and good luck! :)
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿
Thank you for another inspiring videos B💞💞
You are so welcome! Thanks for the kind comment!
I got on at the perfect time!
ohh you forget tech consultant which is my role. I don't code (I'm good without it lol) but depending on the consulting area you can do it with out coding.
Hi love your videos! How does one break into manual QA testing without experience? Is there a boot camp you recommend or online courses to take? Thanks so much 💕
Check out Careerist they have a manual QA program. I have friends who have completed it and I'm thinking about it too!
@@khooouri Thanks!
I’m currently a manual QA tester
Can you do a video on product managers?
Simply brilliant. Great job👍🏽
Let’s go!
Well done
A big thumbs up for the business analyst role. The BA role doesn't have to be nebulous either. I'd be happy to give everyone an overview of the BA role.
I am interested pls.
Could I have more information please?
wow
I am Interested
Am interested
I'm interested
I wish people would go to high schools and colleges and tell people (especially minorities) that there are jobs outside of the traditional “sexy” ones that pay well!
A big part of this is just knowing the lifecycle of stuff the company comes out with. This is super helpful!
Yes to this!
I am working on this. Totally agree with you x
Thank you
Can you explain more on what to major in ,l am in my 4th and l really don’t like coding that much but l want to do my masters so what majors lead to these jobs
Hello I want to became a product manager or a customer success manager, what should I major in college? my first year and first semester I’m a computer science major but I don’t like it and next semester I’ll be as a pathfinder because I don’t know what to major in but I really want to have a non coding tech job. Thanks I have management experience as I’m a manager at a fast good restaurant
Sometimes, business analyst degree or Manage Information Systems are good degree. Truly, people who understand the software and meets the customer needs. Software Sales people make the best business analysts..
Hi Bukola
I am confused, in your 'about' section you say you are a "software engineer". but in other videos you call yourself a software developer? Are they the same thing or you can be one or the other? You inspire me to keep working on my journey as a self taught coder xoxo
Hello! I use both software engineer and software developer interchangeably to me they mean the same thing. Good luck on your journey!
Do you recommend getting at least a associate degree in computer science?
How much do scrum masters make? Also in terms of growth, what's the next thing for a scrum master?
"Developers don't want to release products, out into the world that have a lot of bugs" I see you've never played video games🤣
🤣😂🤣 I remember that first year of Dead By Daylight 😑
I’m not a people person what tech job can I do without having to really interact with people on a day to day
Don't forget the sales people, Saas don't sell themselves (usually) :)
Ok, I just watched the second part of the video. I'm not deleting my comment just to tell you that you already have one more subscriber. Good content :)
We gon meet in the future one day...
Please can you recommend videos for technical writing?
I am a product manager. Can you upload a fast track for this career. I'm in NYC, in the data analytics field on the low end ($69k), and I'm trying to get to $125k asap. Is this reasonable for NYC?
Does anyone have an advice on how to get your foot in the door? I've applied, and applied, and applied for the countless available roles to no avail. I would like to start out as a QA. I currently work in finance.
As someone who has worked in the QA industry for 7+ years and has interviewed and trained many people to be a manual tester (it's a skill) and programming as our QA do both. The things I look for in a resume especially if you are switching careers is that you are teachable, personable, and fit with the team. Highlight things that showcase that in a cover letter if your resume isn't tech heavy
Keep trying, training & praying. Many people make others think getting & keeping a tech job is easy, when that is far from the truth...
That’s finding a job in tech in general. It’s not uncommon to apply to hundreds of jobs before you land one. Assuming you’re qualified ofc.
Can you make a video of futur tech jobs please 😍
Well you don’t need coding to be a qa, but some companies ask you to know some programming languages
I’m a scrum master and I haven’t found any job 😢 it’s been frustrating because I got my certificate 1 year ago and everyone wants at least a scrum with 5 years of experience.
Omggg please can we get in contact ??
I’m about to take my scrum exam !
Great video for someone who wants to get into IT without coding and is looking for ideas! However the part about Project Manager and Scrum Master was so very wrong and I feel the need to clarify. Project Manager, Scrum Master and Product Owener are all very different roles and they were mushed together here. Anyone who's interested in any of these roles, please look them up separately. The duties you described do not belong to Scrum Master. Yes, the Scrum Master helps the team to work more efficient and stay on track by conducting 5 Scrum Events, but the responsibilities on backlog, planning, review and tasks belong to either a Product Owner, The development team or both. Scrum Master makes sure the Scrum team is following the Scrum framework described in Scrum Guide, helps remove external or internal problems the Team might have that are blocking their productivity, facilitates meetings, helps resolve conflicts and supports Product Owner. What Scrum Master actually does during the day may vary from company to company, because Scrum is a framework and only describes general rules, while the practices are free to be chosen on your own. Project Manager deals with stakeholders, budget and planning and is often alloting tasks while Scrum Master does not (unless someone requires facilitation or a reminder of Scrum principles).
have u got any advice on becoming a machine learning engineer I am currently on my data science masters
Anyone know of any companies that use Macs as there main PC that isn't Apple?
I think you misinterpreted scrum master role which is actually what I do. Scrum isn’t a methodology but rather a framework under the agile methodology, we have scrum, kanban, crystal, xtreme programming and likes. So we have just three roles in the team and they are product owner, development team and scrum master. Product owner/scrum master are by far two different roles and it is a major anti pattern. It is not advisable to wear two hats especially when you aren’t good in the PM role. It could make you lose your job if you don’t know the job or keep up. Just an overview of scrum master. I can’t keep writing because it’s more in-depth. Weldon bukola. You are doing well.
Please I’m about to take my scrum exam … can we please get in contact so I can get more insight on what to expect ?
Hello what's the best way to get started with trade cos I've been making personal research for a while now
None are highly paid except of product manager, which you would have to work your way up to. Kind of negates the whole reason of wanting to work in tech.
That’s not true depending on the company you work for and area you live, all of these roles can make six figures
@@Bukola1 I'm talking about the average income in an average place of living, which is what really matters.
I want to work any job in tech but I come from a science background so I haven't had much luck :(
I'm a molecular biologist by my university degree but I switched to database design. It's not easy but possible to make the transition.
Hey Bukola.
I would like to know of the requirements for these jobs, like what level of education do I need to have. Also how can I apply and where possible.
Hello. I am a political science graduate, but I am seeking a career change to IT field. I want to do Conversion course on IT path thru Masters degree. Pls which IT courses among others can be regarded as the most suitable choice to study esp. for people with very little background in Computer Sci/IT or zero IT experience,?
What is the name of the website where people share their salary made at a certain company?
Bukola is sooo FINE.
It's unlikely any of these are entry level though I assume? If you have no background in tech then I'm sure you wouldn't get a second look
I fucking love your channel
I would pay if you could tell me how your experience with technical writers has been!
I’m a technical writer intern at both a software and API company. I enjoy it so far! It’s great designing content and collaborating across departments for SME information.
I need to check that out because I’m a scientist and science writer so I feel like technical writing could be a good transition for me in my next role.
@@sydthasquid I could learn so much from you is there anyway you could tell me more?
Bukola: can you tell us if google has an internal IT dept.? Meaning if your computer breaks down who come to fix it? Do they have desktop support in the NY google office?
They do, they have an entire to team that deals with IT issues
@@Bukola1 so they have desktop support? That’s another position you could put in this video where you don’t need programming to be hired under google. Are they looking to hire any desktop support right now in ny office? I’m currently working as a desktop support for a financial firm, but i would love to work for google in the ny office. Do you know if any desktop support position are open right now?
How can I get in this field? Manual QA or Instructional Design? I am a computer teacher but want to get out of the classroom… just can’t figure out how to get my foot in the door.
Find a position and apply! Leverage your knowledge from teaching in your cover letter and resume. Don't be afraid to sell yourself to make the pivot
