I have a CS degree but taught for 5 years– how can I get back into tech?


I’m 28 (m) and have a Computer Science degree under my belt. A few years after graduating, I pursued a teaching degree because it came with a great tax-free incentive. Now I’ve realised I want to use my original degree and get back into tech.

I’d really appreciate advice from people currently working in the field — what would you recommend for someone who has a CS degree but no professional experience beyond teaching?

Apologies if this type of post isn't suited for the HN - will delete if so.

Give us more background: why is it you realized you want to use your original degree? are you coding? if so, in what kind of projects?
