28 Years Old – Background in CS but never worked in Tech /u/Zambino23 CSCQ protests reddit

Hey guys, so I got a bachelors in CS, due to health issues couldn’t work for some years, then got hired as an assistant in a firm. Pay was good, work was easy so I took it easy. At some point, I realized that the job is a dead end and I also wished to go into tech (always enjoyed it). I thought of doing a Masters in CS and managed to get a scholarship at a public university. I’ve been doing my masters part-time while working but I am also 28 years old.

I’m looking at data-science related positions since some aspects of my job were related to data analysis and my Masters concentration is Machine Learning. I would be grateful for advice on how to go forward. Can someone my age still land internships or entry level positions? What can I do other than things like leetcode / good projects?
