I would like to ask, is it difficult to change careers in the IT industry now?

First of all, the threshold of technical posts in the IT Internet industry has always been relatively high, and many R&D-level posts have higher technical thresholds. Therefore, even students majoring in computer science will encounter certain obstacles in employment if they do not have certain practical ability.

Although the post threshold is relatively high, many non-computer majors can also switch to the IT Internet industry if they have clear job objectives and systematic study plans. Now there are also many non-computer professional technicians in the IT Internet industry.

For non-computer majors, if they want to switch to the IT Internet industry quickly without going to graduate school, they should be prepared in three aspects. One is to choose a main attack direction according to your own knowledge structure and ability characteristics. At present, there is a huge technical post space in the IT Internet industry, and beginners with different knowledge bases can find their own main direction. In addition, when choosing the main direction, we must take into account the current talent demand trend.

The second is to build a more effective learning environment for yourself. If you can study under the guidance of a special person, you will obviously improve your study efficiency and save some study time. According to historical experience, a very important reason why beginners find computer technology difficult to learn is that they don't adopt correct learning methods.

The third is to build a practical scene for yourself. It is very important to learn computer technology while using it. Whether learning programming knowledge or computer network knowledge, we need to pay attention to practice. Besides doing more confirmatory experiments, we also need to pay attention to comprehensive experiments.

Finally, the IT industry is under great pressure and the technology iteration speed is relatively fast, which requires practitioners to constantly update their knowledge structure, so they must be psychologically prepared.
