This describes me as well. I’m almost to the point of grinding leetcode and learning react or some such front end. I have no AWS-esque type skills or anything scaling/web related.
My last pref. review I was told “you’re the guy we ask to solve problems 10x harder than the other devs. Anyone can patch a bug, we always ask you to figure out the things nobody else can.” Which unfortunately doesn’t translate well on a resume or in an interview.
- ghaff 3y agoEspecially in something like the current market, being a highly-regarded "fixer" (or whatever you want to call it) probably doesn't get you past first-level screens looking for specific skills/experience. One of the reasons networks are so important.
- influx 3y agoBuild a small web project on AWS using Terraform, and Node/React running on a container platform with a full cicd platform. I have your background and doing this increased my scope and kills significantly.

- dgfitz 3y agoI will take this advice to heart. Thank you.
