Hi all,

I’m a software developer in the UK with ~2.5 years of experience, currently earning £25k at a small company.

I know this is quite low, but I’m continuing to work while looking for better options.

Given the current job market, I’m considering other career paths — both within and outside of IT — with better earning potential.

About me:

1. 2.5 years in development
2. Based in the UK
3. Speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin

My main goal is to increase my income.

Any advice on:

1. Roles worth exploring (tech or non-tech)
2. Skills to focus on
3. Whether switching paths makes sense

Thanks!
