Transitioning into tech or finding the perfect tech job as a female expat can be challenging, hard to find and time-consuming, yet if it pays off has massive rewards and can change the course of your life. The tech industry is competitive yet lacks talent; therefore, you could find yourself in a very prosperous career move with the right skills.
Europe, especially at this time, is hiring internationally in tech, and it could be your chance as an aspiring expat or an expat looking for a career change. If you are not already in tech but want to move into the sector, first, research what kind of role will help you to skill up with the right skill set to enter the tech industry. Undertaking tech projects and internships will allow you to grasp the nature of work involved in tech and learn as you go while building up your resume.
Another essential move would be to hire a mentor; someone firmly in the tech sector is the best way to learn and develop as a tech employee. Once you have the specific industry you are moving into, it will become easier to find the right course, and there are tons of resources online for open, remote learning. Networking as much as possible, locally and internationally, online and offline, are important ways to progress, learn and quickly transition into tech.
