You'll probably get varying answers to your question based on who you ask, but I would recommend developing an expertise in one particular area -- perhaps in one individual project, or even a subcomponent of a project -- that you care about and will naturally develop an encyclopediac knowledge of simply because you find it fascinating enough to want to read everything about it (historic and ongoing). So now you're an expert in that field - and it doesn't feel like work, because it's what you enjoy and want to see advance technologically. Now what you do is look around to see who benefits from experience in that area. If you're lucky, they've reached out to you already. Worst case, you've learned about and perhaps developed and furthered a technology cause that you care about. Best case, you've found an employer (and team) who want to do the same. What's your favourite example of a static analysis success story?
