Hi, I have been Project Co-ordinator development team for the past 10 months and I have been mostly co-ordinating with the clients rather than actually managing my team (because my company is like that). I've always wanted to be a Software developer and I think this is the right time for me to quit my job and develop my skills on programming.
P.S. I graduated(CSE) in 2016 and this is my first job. I think it not too late to make career switch.

Even if you earn less money as a software developer, what really counts at the end of the day is your happiness...
Hey,
I say go and do what ever makes you happy. If you want to become Software developer do that.
Just never give up on your dreams and never give in to your fears.
You can do it. I'm pretty sure that you gonna be great.
Thanks mate :)
It’s definitely not too late to make a career switch. I switched at 37 yrs old and have now been a software developer for a year. Best decision ever! Good luck and enjoy :-)
Absolutely! Follow your dreams and made them came true!
I did something similar! Left my longtime work in fashion behind (thought this was my dream realm) to pursue my passion for UX! I think pursuing a passion is ALWAYS the move if you can afford it stability wise (financially, etc.)!
Do it do it do it!
I made the switch at 27 and my age was an advantage. You learn plenty of valuable soft-skills having a career outside development and they will be highly sought after as well.
Just do it. You’re most likely the type of person who loves to solve problems and think logically, otherwise you wouldn’t be interested in software development. You’re probably not getting to do those things in your current occupation. Strike while the iron’s hot and teach yourself to code - the job market is in your favour and the job satisfaction (if you find the right company) is unreal. I left my cushy career in media to pursue my passion for mobile software development, and it was the best decision of my life! Good luck :)
Developers are needed and well paid. So go for it.
If you love what you do, you'll never 'work' a day in your life.
If you're passionate about it, go for it!
Good luck!
I don't know where you live but in Spain your salary would be much lower. Most people have no choice but going to management, you're doing the opposite. Congrats!
