> This is why domain knowledge is key.
Yeah but in my country all companies have a non-compete clause which makes it completely useless for me to learn any domain-specific knowledge because I won't be able to transfer it to my next job if current employer fires me. Therefore I focus on general programming skills because these are transferable across industries.
- globular-toast 3y agoThe transferable skill is learning and getting on top of the business, then translating that to code. Of course you can't transfer the actual business rules; every business is different. You just get better and better at asking the right questions. Or you just stick with a company for a long time. There are many businesses that can't be picked up in a few weeks. Maybe a few years.

- kaba0 3y agoIn some countries (Austria), the company that you have a non-compete clause with should pay you a salary if you can’t reasonably be employed due to it. So it is not enforced most of the time.
