How does one effectively restart their career from step one with this?
- askonomm 3y agoDepends on the niche language one chooses, I think. But in the case of Clojure, a lot of companies are willing to hire you even without any previous Clojure knowledge, so long as you are otherwise an experienced developer and are interested in learning. Then, once you have some real experience with the niche language, getting new jobs gets much easier with recruiters reaching out to you and more companies opening their doors. This blog post lists companies that hire developers for Clojure roles without any previous Clojure experience: https://jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2022/03/24/long-term-clojure-benefits.html https://jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2022/03/24/long-term-cloj... I'd imagine it would be similar for other niche languages, but I can't say for sure. All I know is to try to find a way to be a bit more special in your field as that seems to (in my case at least) result in better treatment.
