@zubinpratap Hey, thank you so much for such a comprehensive guide to making a career switch. I rejected an offer to study law from KCL and was mulling over training as a developer. But coming from a humanities background (I had math in 12th grade but not after that), the impostor syndrome felt nerve-wracking. It feels immensely validating to know that someone as successful as you, struggled with the same issues-self-doubt, consistency, frustration-but came out on top. In the end, it all boils down to having realistic expectations, accepting your circumstances and persevering to achieve your goals.
