Ask HN: How do you switch domains / industries?
In software development, it seems that many domains and industries prefer to hire people who have professional experience in that industry. In one particular case, I saw a job listing that strongly preferred people who had worked at a small set of competitor companies.
How does a developer manage to switch to a domain or industry completely outside their experience?
- 1ba9115454 6y agoI switched to Investment Banking when they where looking for Java people 20 years ago. So this was a case of the demand for a tech skill outwaying the supply and therefore the banks didn't get to be too choosey. So perhaps one way to switch would be to learn a tech skill and use that as leverage. i.e. Rust to get into blokchain/crypto. Julia to get into Bigdata, AI and ML. Kubernetes to get into DevOps/CI-CD etc.
