What happens if you don't have a plan for your career? If you don't know where you want to be in 5 years' time then you're likely not doing the things you need to get there. That could mean: * ending up as the "safe pair of hands" managing outdated tech while your peers work on exciting projects * seeing your marketable value drop as you work on old tech and de-skill year by year * unable to land that next promotion because you don't have the experience they're looking for * overworked; exhausted; burned out * apparently successful but unfulfilled and unsure why It's not enough these days just to do a good job and hope for the best.

I have 6-7 great opportunities that I'm pursuing now from the inbound and some outbound I did. So grateful. Only thing is... I'm at a fork. Generalist/Entrepreneurial/Intrapreneurial roles: These would help me continue to build my 0-1 muscle. They would allow me to fully stretch myself, but with lower job security. These are generally slightly lower paying. My heart goes here. Revenue/Growth/Partnerships roles: These would let me use my 1-10 muscle. These are generally higher paying. It would help me continue to build my "professional skillset" and continue to become an expert at this, with higher job security. My mind goes here. I'm exploring both for now and see if I can find one where my heart and mind intersect. Appreciate any advice/input/thoughts!

Transitioning into this field of tech brought me so much excitement, but it has also revealed the hurdle of limited experience. Despite having certifications and a genuine interest, landing that ideal role has proven elusive. It's been a tough road, facing rejections and feeling the weight of uncertainty about how to break into the industry. Each application and interview has been a chance to showcase my potential, but the feedback often points to the need for more hands-on experience. It's a cycle where getting that initial opportunity feels like a distant goal. But amid these struggles, there's a resilient determination to keep pushing forward. It's about reaching out, seeking guidance, and continuously improving. I believe in the value I can bring, and I'm committed to refining my skills, learning from setbacks, and finding that breakthrough moment. The journey in tech hasn't been easy, but it's a path I'm passionate about. I'm optimistic that with perseverance and the right support, I'll eventually find my place in this dynamic and evolving industry.

Shares and Reactions are appreciated! 🚀 I am Ready for a New Chapter! 🚀 I am excited to share that I'm on the lookout for roles that align with my passions: People, Innovation, and Strategic Thinking. Taking this step is a little nerve wracking as the job market is far less certain than just remaining in a job - but I am a big believer in finding roles that enable you to find fulfillment and purpose! So I am reaching out to you, my network, with some requests: 1) If you have any leads or opportunities to share, I'd love to hear from you. 2) If you don’t know of any leads but still want to help out you could write a recommendation or endorse a skill on my profile to help recruiters know more about my skill set! 3) You may see this and feel that you don’t have any leads and cannot endorse my skills (especially if we haven’t worked together yet) - and if so I would love it if you could simply react and share!

Let's talk about the word unemployed and why it's time for a refresh. 🔄 Imagine an A-List actor who's just wrapped up a project. Are they unemployed? Nope, they're simply in between roles. 🎬 What about a star AFL player whose contract has just ended? Unemployed? Hardly. They're merely on the hunt for a new club where they can showcase their skills. Just as a free agent in baseball isn't out of work, they're simply choosing their next team. 🏈 The label unemployed unfairly carries a shadow of negativity, almost suggesting that you're less valuable than someone with a job. But that's not the case. 🚫 You're not unemployed. You're in between opportunities, exploring what's next. And there's nothing lesser about that. It's a phase full of potential. ✨ Remember, if you're in between jobs, that's exactly what it is - in between jobs. Let's embrace the journey and the possibilities it holds. 🌟

Ngl, I'm tapped. As much I enjoyed the work(and the brilliant people I've met), I don't see much value in pursuing a role in tech. While I appreciate the opportunities I've been given, I'm tired of experiencing resistance & maltreatment from those who benefited from my support. Learning about the discriminatory nature of my last few dismissals makes me realize I just may not belong. Seeing the current talent pool led me to accept that I have more success supporting friends and colleagues, using my skills for more personal pursuits(I want to see my folks go far). That said, I'll be glad to help said folks prep to compete in the current landscape, while working on other skill sets(e.g.: culinary), to get by. Anyone(that I know) looking to sharpen their skills in programming strategies, sysadmin/automation/WhateverOps/SRE, let me know how I may help. Speaking from a selfish place, I enjoy seeing your growth & progress like a gardener that sits back and watches things bloom.

In a world that's constantly evolving, it's shocking to witness how swiftly changes can impact individuals on a personal level. Today, I find myself reflecting on the unexpected twists our professional journeys can take. A recent example being Bitpanda’s surprising decision to let go of a third of their incredibly talented and dedicated workforce in the blink of an eye. This move not only raises questions about job security in the tech industry but also highlights the resilience and adaptability required from its professionals. In times like these, the true spirit of community and mutual support within the tech world comes to light. It’s when colleagues become more than just co-workers; they become lifelines, providing emotional and professional support. As one directly affected by this change, I am now on the lookout for new opportunities where I can contribute with my six years of experience in customer care and account management. My journey has equipped me with skills in Office 365, along with SAP and Oracle expertise. Moreover, being fluent in German, English, Serbian, and possessing a foundational knowledge of Russian further complements my profile. This situation serves as a reminder that while our paths may be unexpectedly diverted, new directions often lead to unexplored avenues filled with potential. Therefore, I extend an invitation to anyone who might be aware of opportunities that align with my skill set or is simply willing to offer advice or share contacts. Let us remember that it's during challenging times that new doors open and previously unseen pathways emerge. Thank you for any guidance or opportunities you might provide as I navigate through this transition period. Together, we can turn these abrupt ends into promising new beginnings.
