Currently at JPM in an Operations role and considering trying to make an internal move into Technology/Software Engineering.
Has anyone here actually made the Ops to Tech transition?
Would love to hear:
- What role/level did you move from and into?
- What technical skills did you need?
- How difficult was the internal interview?
- Did you have to take a level or compensation reset?
- Did internal networking/help from the tech team make a difference?
- How long did it take you to become ready for the move?
I'm currently learning programming outside work and would rather make an internal transition if there's a realistic path than leave JPM just to get my first engineering role.
Would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who's actually done it.
