If you value yourself you don't hesitate to train yourself up for another sector or pivot into a different kind of role that is in more demand.
What's meaningless is to expect a company to help you transition, or not realise they conveniently benefit from your lack of fitness for a position. They say they care but it's too much to handle, easier to just hire someone who even just seem qualified.
I have interviewed for a role beneath my experience and skillset, and was thrown at questions and comments on my last interview just to hit my confidence and in attempt to reverse who's got leverage at offer time.
Worked there 2 days and quit. In the exact same sector, same skillset, I could be taking home 1/3 of my current income had I stayed. Not meaningless, and if more did the same, if everyone valued themselves, none of us would ever have to waste our time with exploiters.
- coldtea 3y agoWe were talking about people's ability to just change job, when they're not in a hot domain, or the market doesn't value their skills, etc - and that merely "believing in yourself more" wont change this. "Just spend a year or more to get new skills or go to another sector" doesn't refute what I said, it proves it. This advice isn't about "believing in yourself" alone changing anything, it's about taking hard, multi-year even action, and changing domains and roles. "Believing in your self" is not changing anything here, it's just table stakes.
