Breaking into tech can be tough, with high requirements on skills and industry-specific knowledge, plus the offshoring of many entry-level roles in this era of globalisation.
New starters, who often learn through collaboration with seniors, are also stymied by the spread of hybrid work, slowing down their advancement.
The IT industry is known for offering high salaries, independent working and flexible locations and hours, making it an attractive career prospect. However, it can be a difficult sector to navigate without a clear understanding of the different roles and career paths available.
That is why our new web page, launched with IT recruitment specialist Harvey Nash, aims to provide clarity and insight to help you make informed decisions about your future in tech - whether you're a graduate or a career switcher.
