And why I’m not worried about the current market

Towards the end of my career with PHP, I felt like I was learning but needed to move forward. Nothing has worked. I learned new programming languages and new code-creation strategies for no results. Also, after reaching the top salary for a PHP dev, it felt terrible to be stuck and not get a pay raise for a long time. It was one reason I switched to Java, and there was another lesson I understood later.

Today in Code.Lead.Succeed Newsletter I’ll discuss how you can successfully navigate the current Software Engineering market, get promoted and feel secure about your future career.

Communication is key. That is what allowed me to grow. It’s how I got contract clients. It’s how I led large initiatives at large companies. It’s how I convince the business something not obviously business related is worth doing. It allows me to understand business and user needs to better serve them. And you’re right Dariusz, interviews are a form of being a salesperson where the product is yourself.

Thanks for posting. I wish I could get similar advice few years back... Soft skills and leadership is what can give your career new life. Especially for introverts. It really resonates with my own experience. I've moved from PHP to Go from the very same reasons, but what really makes a difference is my "peopleware" engineering:)
