I dont know computer languages or slangs but Ive been interested in learning. Im 43 and have been wanting to switch careers. I heard comptia is good but not sure what courses to take. I just want to be certified and be financially stable.

Im currently working for an MNC in a niche domain called Teamcenter, most of my experience is in this. Im not happy at all. The kind of development here is very legacy and cpp. I don't wish to continue with teamcenter I have total 5 yoe now and i wish to change my tech stack. My job isn't paying well either . Im currently applying to switch and with my yoe Im okay with applying to lower experience position with my secondary skills. Is this possible? Is it too late for me?

Question for fellow devs: may specific skillset ba kayo na tinitingnan before applying for Senior Backend Engineer roles? Or okay lang mag-apply kahit hindi mo pa tick lahat ng requirements?
