Hundreds of posts across Twitter, Quora and Reddit reveal that people want to work remotely and some also want to transition into the tech space. However, they’re unsure of the opportunities available to them.

According to our Twitter and Reddit polls, we discovered 61.7% of non-coders and non-technical folks had no idea of the roles available to them in the tech space, while 27.7% were aware, and 10.6% were unsure.

You’d often see questions about which high paying remote roles exist, “what remote roles are in demand?” or “what can I do with {NAME} degree?”.

Whether you have a technical background or not, there’s room for you in the tech space.

In The NoCode Techies Glossary, we’ve compiled a list of non-coding roles you can explore in the tech space.

I will keep updating the NCT Glossary as we research and discover new roles.
