Should i take on a part time coding course while working full time?

Hi anon!

I hope you do find your work interesting even though you are struggling (so you don't dread going to work on Mondays haha).

There a few reputable coding course providers in Singapore:

• Hackwagon Academy
• Upcode Academy
• NTUC Learning Hub

I personally attended Hackwagon Academy's Data Science 101 and found it a good introduction to Python! They also offer courses on Full Stack. They offer weekly classes on weekday nights or weekends which will fit your work schedule!

I recommend you continue to take higher level courses such as Data Science 102 & 103 as 101 is a really introductory course. There are various subsidies offered by the government under the Data Science track (you can click in to find out more). Hurry apply before the subsidies are terminated!!

Hope this helps!

Assuredly yes. doing something to improve your situation beats feeling stuck in a rut. true, taking the coding course could be time-and-energy-consuming, but on the other hand, it may also energise you as you acquire not only coding skills but also the technical jargon that will help you in your work. also, you may also meet people who are in a similar situation as you. or you could meet someone who can serve as a mentor. building connections outside work is priceless. the thing is, you never know until you try, so just go for it. at the very least, you will gain in self-confidence

my friends from non-IT backgrounds say that coding is not a passing fad, is here to stay. so i think picking up some Python skills will help you in your career. if not now, then in time to come.

gambare!
