Be adaptable and flexible. Working in a technical field means that you will encounter different challenges and problems that require creative solutions. You need to be able to adjust to changing requirements, expectations, and environments. Learn how to use different tools, languages, frameworks, and platforms that can help you achieve your goals. Be open to feedback and criticism, and use them to improve your work and performance.
I would say do marketing 50% of the time and use the other 50% to get your self up to speed on the tech and get in front of your competition

Don't give up if you don't get the first job you apply for. It takes time and effort to build a successful career in tech. Keep applying for jobs, networking, and learning new skills, and eventually you'll find the right opportunity for you.

If you're struggling with something, don't be afraid to ask for help from a colleague, mentor, or online community. Everyone needs help sometimes, and asking for it shows that you're willing to learn and grow.

Don't wait for opportunities to come to you. Seek out new challenges and responsibilities at work. Volunteer for projects that interest you and that will give you the chance to learn new things.

Tech is not only about coding! It encompasses marketing, sales, user experience design, project management and a other disciplines that collectively shape the success of a technology product. Dont be afraid to try and take different tasks and then you find out for yourself where you wanna be in tech!:)
