Top 10 Tech Jobs that require No Coding

One of the things keeping a lot of people from transitioning into tech is coding. The unschooled opinion is that to take on tech jobs, you must know how to code.

UI/UX Designer

UI/UX stands for User Interface and User experience respectively, this is one of the highly needed tech roles in the tech industry that requires no coding at all. The UI/UX is to developers what an architect is to a builder.

However, some schools of thought has argued that basic coding knowledge is required to be successful, but overall, it isn’t a requirement.
