When is the ideal age to start a startup in Malaysia?

Being a first time founder I started an on-demand app startup at 24 after 3 years with the Big 4. Spent a lot of time learning instead of executing, not to mention that when i left it was around the phase where i would be picking up leadership skills.
I knew that i would want to start before i hit 30 as the 30s would be the decade where one starts picking up life commitments specifically with marriage, buying properties and so on. Having that in mind i didnt think twice and left Big 4 and jumped head-first into startups.
With hindsight i would have stayed on for at least a couple of years, learning crucial leadership and project management skills that would prove to be essential as a startup founder.

Hello Amanda, good to know that you’re looking to learn how to code! it’s definitely a valuable skillset that I will never regret picking up.
Learning to code can be an exciting and rewarding journey, but it can get real confusing real fast Here are some tips and advice on where to begin!
1. Find your purpose – is it web dev? is it data analysis? is it mobile app dev? What is it? I’d personally suggest Javascript as it’s the king of web development, I use it for all my software projects and most top silicon valley tech startups use it too. Dont take my word for it tho, always DYOR! But ultimately it doesnt matter too for now. focus on getting your computational thinking skills up first by solving basic algorithm challenges in any language is fine. You can pick new ones up along the way.
2. Learning resources – There are many free and paid resources available for learning to code, including online courses, tutorials, and books. Some popular options include Codecademy, Udemy, and Coursera. You can also find free resources on websites like YouTube, GitHub, and Stack Overflow. I run a great coding school called sigma school. check us out here sigmaschool.co if you’re keen! Our amazing pitch is if you don’t become a software dev and get a job when you graduate, you get 100% of your money back!
3. You can start from the free materials first but always remember to practice! The best way to learn to code is by doing. Start by working on small projects and gradually build up to more complex ones. You can also join online communities and forums to get feedback on your code and learn from others.
As for how long it takes to learn to code, it really depends on your dedication, learning style, and goals. Some people can learn the basics in a few weeks or months, while others may take longer. The key is to stay committed and keep practicing. With time and effort, you can build the skills you need to build websites and mobile applications. With sigma school, we aim to graduate students within 4-6 months for those who are committing full time with us!
