An IT career without coding
Starting from manual testing and the paths that open up next.
Not everyone in IT has to write code. Manual testing, support, project coordination, digital marketing — all need an understanding of technology without requiring you to be a programmer.
Manual testing is the easiest door in. A good tester needs an eye for detail, clear writing and patience.
After a year or two many move into automation, others towards business analysis or product. The entry may not be coding, but the paths onward stay open.
