Sound advice, but where do you find these hybrid jobs? Especially when it comes to programming, companies seem to evaluate you in one specific language/skill, and seem to have zero interest in the rest of your background and experience.
- joelbluminator 5y agoThat's not always true. In a job board try playing with keyword combinations like Python + Financial Analyst/investment/trader etc etc. You'll see them. I was once thinking of doing the transition the other way around (from software development to market/financial analysis) so I know the jobs are there. Also - use your network and talk to your colleagues - someone must know someone who works in finance but does some/a lot of programming. Here are some examples from a quick glance: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2762895590/?alternateChannel=search&refId=MV8e4%2BHP%2Fb3w6SYq%2FrI2%2Fw%3D%3D&trackingId=e%2BM6hG2uuxX6qkLZghwn%2Bg%3D%3D https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2762895590/?alternateChan... https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2786689624/?eBP=JOB_SEARCH_ORGANIC&recommendedFlavor=SCHOOL_RECRUIT&refId=J6vEddKQyVzJ6TzyJVGqzw%3D%3D&trackingId=qikfPL3f0g%2FqNoNmQDI6Fg%3D%3D&trk=flagship3_search_srp_jobs https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2786689624/?eBP=JOB_SEARC...
- specproc 5y agoAgreed. I found my job by just searching for 'python' on a board for my sector. The only reason I've been able to move into a coding job is because I have very deep domain knowledge in a pretty niche area and a bunch of other 'added value' that makes up for my relative lack of experience with any particular stack.
