Women who entered tech after their 20s. How did you do it?

I’m about to turn 30 and making a career shift into tech, but it already feels late. I keep seeing stories of people who started coding as teenagers or majored in CS, and it’s making me wonder if I’m too behind. And the current economy is not helping.

If you got into tech after your 20s, how did you do it? What helped the most? Would love to hear about your experiences and any advice you have!
