    The tip about not staying in one place resonated with me - just left a job as a senior SE where I loved the domain but felt like I was stagnating in my learning. Moving onto new things

    Its my first time to see a "DAY IN A LIFE " that is informational, most of them starts with frying eggs or alarm clock. You started with value and everything else was interesting to watch cause it felt like an interesting short break. I am a developer from South Africa and a fan of your channel

    You should have started with network because in my experience that is the most important part of your career and after about 15 years in tech, my biggest regret is not realizing that earlier.

  • @fadsa342
    @fadsa342 Месяц назад

    This is anecdotal to my experience but a few managers I've spoken with have said that come layoffs they prioritizing keeping people with more domain knowledge which usually puts frequent job hoppers on the block. I'm not saying to stay at a company for 20 years but unless you've got a super niche skillset the impact you make in the first year will probably be limited. Again this is anecdotal but in my experience interviewing job hoppers many who have a senior title are unable to go deep on what they actually did and contributed if they were at a company for less than 2 years. My advice is to consider moving within your current company or org. Generally those moves will come with a title change and salary increase as well as a bit more security because of the domain knowledge you have.

    • @Umacodes
      @Umacodes  Месяц назад

      This is a very valid point.
      Under normal circumstances, the people with the most domain knowledge of their products or services are kept, however, the recent layoffs don’t seem to follow this trend. They seem to be random. I’ve heard from friends in various companies that had principal engineers laid off. A lot of times, the direct managers do not have a say on who is getting laid off.
      Still very valid points.

      It might be time to look outside your immediate network. LinkedIn is a good start. Connect with people who have interesting backgrounds and reach out to them. Candoor.io is also a great place. The advisors listed there are looking to help.
