Building a Career in Tech in Myanmar
Ma Hnin Ei is 24, working as an admin assistant at a trading company in Yangon for 300,000 MMK per month. Every evening after work, she watches coding tutorials on her phone. She finished a free Python course last month. She has no computer science degree. She has no connections in tech. She just applied to three junior developer roles on MyJobs and heard nothing back. She is wondering if tech is only for people who graduated from the Computer University. It is not. But the path from where she is to where she wants to be has specific steps that most Myanmar career-changers skip entirely.
