Hello Everyone, I am new on FGB and also new to this grp.
I have a lot of expectation if anyone can help me to make the right decision for a new skill/job I should be looking for.
1. Took break after baby in 2018, worked as an IT professional for 12 years befr that. Developer to Tech Lead position.
2. I am a creative person with a lot of enthu to learn. Had passion for makeup so currently freelancing as a makeup artist, although cant earn living from it. Even cant pay rent. So, looking back to join work.
3. I want to stay close to Technology bec thats what I have invested my education in and I like it, but I dont want to be a developer again bec of its never ending time commitment which with my kid I dont want to get into. Once in a while is still fine.
4. need suggestion on something thats technical, creative, less time demanding, a good pay job. I would love to learn new things if I can in media industry too.
Thanks in Advance

Do you have a Youtube channel where you do makeup and provide training, tips and tricks?

Sorry, still not well equipped to make videos for youtube and also i see there is a very high competition with people making such awesome high quality videos.. To breakthrough and get more views, i might need some out of the box thinking..

If you have a technology background, is it possible to design a system to assist customers with make-up selections and application? Introducing technology to the mix will get you noticed. Most Youtubers begin by just using their cellphone. As long as your videos are clear, it's the quality of your content that captures viewers.
Don't let what looks like a highly competitive market scare you. Everyone has an audience. People love Burger King and McDonalds but Whataburger has managed success.

Welcome! There's so much you can do in the tech space — have you thought about user experience and product design?

Thanks for responding.
So, UX, i guess needs coding/development too. I have no experience in UI development so I cant do UX too as far as I think.
Product design, I read about it but have no idea how to venture into it. Any education will help.
Others suggested -
Salesforce Admin
Business Analyst
Digital Marketing - I dont know if I am skilled enuf for this one though.

Are you thinking of taking more courses? That might help open up doors during your career transition. I found an article about product design that might be helpful: https://architechie.org/blog/2018-05-28-a-guide-to-becoming-a-product-designer/
