As the title says, I am thinking about taking online degree in tech from coursera.
For a short context, my experience so far is in sales and I am trying to shift to tech field.
I know it’s saturated, etc… but I have made my decision. I just need to know how to set my foot into it.
I would like to hear opinions from people specially in tech field about this idea.
Mainly:
– If one day I have decided to work outside Japan, can I write it in my resume? I have observed that most of the job requirements outside asia is having a degree in the field. So, does a coursera degree counts?
– Will it help me get an entry job? Or is it better to stop putting my money into this and better create a good portfolio as I study free courses online?
– Any other university that offers online tech courses to non-US residents?
– Also, I am a female. Is gender discrimination still a thing in tech field even in this generation??
