Here is the thing, I'm a 33 year old chemist who is about to move into a new country (Belgium) in the following months. Let's say five months later.
Besides my experience on chemistry, I can describe myself as a Junior Web Designer by trade who have built numerous web sites for around 15 years for my own ideas, projects. I know HTML5, CSS (not perfect but I am pretty good at with Bootstrap), PHP (no frameworks just coded procedural) and JQuery. Never used Angular, .NET or something else. My websites work on DigitalOcean, Cloudflare. I know a lot in regards of SEO, Growthacking. I am familiar with VCS but not experienced.
Now, I want to make a switch in my career and become a Web Designer, Front End Dev, whatever you say. Do you think that I can have a chance to land a job?
If not, is it possible that I can improve myself enough in that five months to land a job? If so, what do you recommend me to start with?
I really want to make this switch and ready to do anything for so thanks in advance for your help!
If you want a job in front end dev spend time mastering vanilla javascript / es6. Practice using git and do a lot of reading to get a good grasp on the industry.
freeCodeCamp is surprisingly good and teaches you a lot about modern web development
