My day to day work involves configuration in a front end application that doesn’t require “raw” coding. The most code I ever end up touching is occasionally pulling data with a SQL query or editing an .xml file.
I am very lost on how to pivot in my career. I do have some coding experience but mainly in SQL and doing very brief classes on C++ and Swift. I do have a lot of experience finding the right hardware/software solution to different issues in previous jobs.
Additionally, I’m not even sure I want to keep pursuing code or do it as a career. It’s a great set of skills but it’s not my strongest skill. I love technology and creative projects but I’m having a LOT of trouble finding the right job.
Recruiters from companies reach out but only because my title leads them to believe I can fit into SWE positions.
How do I move forward from here? I feel like my title has trapped me in a corner with my options.
