Ask HN: How to increase depth instead of breadth as 10 yoe as swe?
About my experience(10 yoe):
- Tech stack: C, C++, python, OpenCL, GPU and DSP programming. Along with that some performance engineering and docker topics.
Problem:
- not feeling confident enough in my skillset. I feel that I have breadth of topics but deep expertise is missing.
- I am with the same company(automotive supplier) for 8 years but switched teams after 4 years. Topics are random based on the customer project as there is no real sw product. I believe this hinders in becoming expert.
- Finding new job is becoming harder day-by-day.
Looking for advice/recommendations:
- How can I turn the situation?
- Has anyone here has faced similar situation and come out of it? What did you do?
