From $40k to Six Figures In Tech Without Being a Developer

Hi, I’m Tim Okito. I didn’t come from a technical background. I started as an HR Analyst, where I kept seeing this huge gap between what technology could do and what businesses actually needed it to do. At 30+, while working full-time and honestly terrified I was making a huge mistake, I made the leap. Not because I suddenly became a “tech person” – but because I realized companies desperately need people who understand their world and can bridge it with technology. Here’s what I discovered: The tech industry doesn’t need more people who can code. It needs more people who can think. You already have the most valuable skill – the ability to solve business problems. Your biggest advantage isn’t learning to code – it’s that you already speak the language of business. While CS grads are figuring out why their perfect technical solution got rejected, you’ll be the one explaining why your solution will save the company $500K. That’s not just a career change. That’s career fulfillment with the income and respect that comes with being indispensable.
