What’s the best career advice you’ve ever got?
Changing jobs every 3-5 years, but not making lateral moves, is how you fast track your career and earnings. In-house promotions are all about favouritism, merit gets you nothing.
So here’s my anecdote. in 2017 i went from banking to temping jobs trying to figure out what i wanted to do in life since i HATED banking and couldn’t do it anymore. I was like fuck it, i’ll do computers. I spruced up my resume to make it seem like i had always done computers, i read a few text books on computer science (c#, python, data structures/algorithms) and i ended up getting a job at McD’s HQ in programming. The first month was just shadowing the other programmers.
What did i do with that time? I read more textbooks on what they were doing in particular so by the time they let me loose i knew exactly what i was doing. On top of that i optimized and found solutions to shit they didn’t even know needed improving. On the job they also put me in charge of Oracle and Microsoft Sql server. Boom, more shit to add to my resume.
Next job was working at a law firm being a DBA for MSSQL. I mastered that shit and got into webscraping and web filling for them which added on more to my experience….
The point is, if you’re gonna job hop and try to get paid more for shit you barely know about… you BETTER fucking learn it either before or while on the job to make it seem like you knew that shit your entire life.
I can’t imagine exaggerating on your resume for the time being to get a new job but not immersing yourself in the technical skills you fibbed on so that no one ever suspects anything.
