Find a company that does both, and that will hire you for your experience in one. Maybe that's a Python company that needs to do Rust stuff, or occasionally has performance constraints that mean they need to use C?
- earthboundkid 3y agoYeah. Companies hire you to do A, but they let you do B, and then you find a new company that will hire you to do B, but you end up doing C, etc. Your job title is always the thing you were doing at your previous job, not the thing you do now.
- solraph 3y agoA variation of this is to explicitly take a job at a company to solve a problem with one language / area, with the understanding that you will do different work once that's complete. I did this with a consultancy a few years ago. I did some Symfony work for a client they needed help with, but there was an (honoured) agreement that after that I would never have to do PHP work ever again. After that I moved into Python & Golang work.
