What are different types of jobs that count as being a tech career?

Hi Osmanee,

You probably haven't heard about any career in tech besides "Computer engineering". but the people who work in tech can have very different background.

Depending of what you study you can be several things:

-If you are a engineer you can become: server or client engineer, Project manager, QA lead, UI engineer, etc..
-If you are artist: UX designer, 2D Artist, Art director, 3D modeler, VFX Artist, UI Artist, Game designer, Project manager, etc...
-If you have a business or marketing degree: Product manager, Marketing manager, Advertising art director, Project manager, Social media manager, etc...

For example, before working in tech I was a advertising art director at Young & Rubicam, McCann Erickson, DDB but after several years in that industry I pivoted to UX design doing apps and websites for the clients of the ad agency. then I jumped to a game startup called Atakama labs doing art direction and Ux design and then I moved to the US to work in several studios to consolidate my career.

And like that every story is different in this industry.

Basically tech development requires people with different backgrounds. and I'm sure you can find a path in tech close to your aspirations.
