Writing a letter to friend seeking advice on job change

Writing a letter to friend seeking advice on job change 7Pb62

Dear Martin, I hope you are well, and are having a good time vacationing in England and visiting your family. I am writing to let you know that I am planning to switch my job. I have been working in the field of data analytics for almost 2 years now. It is indeed a high-paying job and I have been able to perform well until now. Still, I don't enjoy my work as it is more of a monotonous activity that I am doing each day. The work is repetitive, and I am not getting adequate opportunities to learn new skills. I have hence decided to switch to the field of software development as I believe that there is a greater scope in this role to learn new things. With the technology changing each day, this would help me learn new skills and this is something that I have always longed for. Since you have been working as a software developer for quite some time now, I need you to share a few tips and also help me figure out which companies should I target to get placed in? Also, as Microsoft is a great player in the field of software development, I would be grateful if you can refer me to your organization too. Hope to hear from you in the near future. Regards, Eshan
