How to change career?

24 years old, software engineer, working in a company.

I had been working at a company for one year, fresh out of college.
Working life was ok. Salary was below median but it was alright. My boss was easygoing. I was the second best guy in my department.

After some careful considerations, I can apply to another company with higher salary. My plan to consider:
- Find companies on LinkedIn.
- Send my resume with current work (I was occasionally contacted by recruiters).
- They might ask for reference.
Usually they will ask for 3 references. I have a stellar reference on a non-software engineer job, but otherwise I only have this job. If I come to my boss and say I want to change career, he'd say good things about me but I don't know for sure.
- If I get another job, I'd support my current company workload until they found a new guy, and I'd even offer email support if they have any issue arises.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Or he would try to keep you cause your salary is below median and you're the second best guy in your department. That may be a raise proposal or refusal to give good recommendation if he's a dick. You probably make him some good money.
Everything else sounds like a good plan.

You would probably have to pass an interview for the job. Try to know what you'll be working on at a new company before that, it's fine to ask it, at least here. Think of the best value they would get from hiring you and prepare yourself on the technical side. That would increase your chances of securing a job and a better salary.
