This is actually my long term strategy, unfortunately, I'm getting to the point where I need a new job next month, not next year.
Also, how do I manage to convince someone to hire me for X when all my (professional) experience is in Y and I maybe have a handful of projects in X
- muzani 7y agoNobody hires just to give someone a chance. It's tough, but you have to pitch something else - total years of experience, education, debugging experience, product skill or a deep understanding of the product. If all fails, there's connections and charisma. Asking for less salary might work too, but it can backfire by filtering out companies that try to hire the best. You might also get lucky and find a company that's desperate to fill a position like I did. Sometimes a core engineer quits and they need someone good enough right now to fill in the role.
