Tech stacks, languages, libraries come and go. No company has demand for more code. Employers want people who add value and solve problems. The software tools are incidental.
You find jobs with the same skills that have always worked:
- Good communication.
- Business domain expertise.
- Can solve problems and add business value.
- Understand software and infrastructure fundamentals.
- Work with legacy code.
- Relational databases and SQL.
- Effective right away.
I've seen demand for cloud infrastructure, system administration, and security expertise. Find a niche that doesn't attract a lot of people chasing the money with the same small toolbox.
