I would reconsider IT. A WFH job will still require you have childcare. It’s not really possible to care for an infant and WFH without additional help.

If that doesn’t turn you off, will need more info on what aspect of “IT” you are interested in. In quotes because IT tends to be a separate field from SWE these days.

The tech market is saturated with experienced software engineers who are unemployed from major layoffs. It’s hyper competitive and a rough time to jump in. You’ll need a plan, some mentorship, and be willing to take a less than ideal job to make this jump.

Do you have money to possibly consider a bootcamp or do you want to self teach? Do you have a degree or no?

For context, I am a self taught backend engineer working in embedded engineering.
