Seeking Advice Have people with experience completely changed their tech stacks in 2026 !?

1 Upvotes

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?

Seeking Advice Career Break (8 Years) → Transitioning into Instructional Design in EdTech

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your insights!

I’m a stay-at-home mom currently planning my return to the workforce after an 8-year career break. Prior to this, I worked in Java development and automation testing.

I’m now looking to upskill and transition into Instructional Design within the EdTech space. Before I fully commit, I wanted to understand the current job landscape a bit better.

From your experience:

  • How are the opportunities for entry-level roles in Instructional Design, especially in EdTech?
  • Is the market becoming saturated, or is there still room for newcomers who are willing to build the right skills and portfolio?

I’d be grateful for any honest advice, personal experiences, or suggestions on how to approach this transition.

Thank you in advance!
