It's unsure how the market will be tomorow, so what's good to have in case of career change or/and layoffs?
What to learn or make?
(More in the programming fields)
I think the most useful superpower is marketing (or rather persuasion.)<p>It is required whenever you need to interact with another human (which is nearly every day, for any job/career).<p>And good marketing just boils down to understanding other people: their needs, fears, and desires.<p>- a resume/job interview is just marketing<p>- a job posting is just marketing<p>- marketing will help you understand what skills are in demand (i.e. what to learn/make?)<p>- asking someone on a date is just marketing<p>- and of course, marketing is used to sell products and services, too
Definitely! Always prioritise learning in any job. Don’t just blindly take a job which have high pay but low learning curve.<p>Stay up to date with everything which is happening in your field of job.<p>Regularly apply for jobs to make yourself interview ready. You can find newest job post’s aggregated from Twitter at careerbrige.com<p>I hope this helps!
if this helps: one of the ideas for modern development (one-off projects) is the creation of software for new and old ones, including CNC machines<p>if you can’t get a stable job, you can always start giving programming courses, this can be done at home. I really haven’t seen successful programmers who have completed such courses, but I have seen quite successful lecturers who teach such courses.
Networking. Networking is a but kike reading: something whose importance was drilled into us, but never demonstrated. In my 30s I'm finally seeing how powerful it is.<p>The value in this case is that if you ever need a job, some people will want to hire you specifically, not because of your resume, but because they trust you and like your vibe. They'll say "I know a guy" and you'll be that guy.<p>People underestimate just how many deals are done in-network, based on vibes alone. Jobs only get listed online if all else fails.
