Non-tech roles such as ops do not require a STEM background, but technical knowledge such as SQL will come in handy. The rest is all about opportunities and relevant working experience, so long as you can map your project experience to the roles you are looking for, align your interests with tech companies values n mission, then I believe anyone can stand a chance to enter tech.

Possible if it's your dad's company, just like how someone promoted from captain to brigadier general in 6 years.

It was not an easy path, but yes working FO. Looking at a degree soon, probably plateau some where along the line.

How did you even land a FO BB role with just a diploma at 3.6k?

There was a junior role opening online, didn’t think much and was bored during holidays, I went through 4 rounds. That was also before my uni acceptance came in, and because I took it the role I had to shelf uni (double edged sword on hindsight.
