Ask HN: Switching career path at 36. What is the right way
2 by jack_daniel | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I am a software developer of 36 years. I have been a java/PL_SQL dev for most of my career and been working on Angular for the past couple of years. However I don't see my career going forward and I am not interested in learning Spring Boot or any additional Java Skills as I am afraid it is not going to help in long run. Also Angular is also becoming irrelevant thanks to Vue/React etc. So I am thinking of switching role and transitioning into a Data Scientist or AI/ML engineer. I can put in the hours to study and do self projects, but I am worried if I am too old for a transition now, given that I am already 15 years old in the industry. Should I stick with what I know already and improve on it or can I transition into a Data Scientist role? Thoughts?
