Yeah … instead of fighting to stay mid-level it’s probably better to just skill up as best as possible.
Even without AI the competition from fellow job applicants, overseas talent, etc., would mean we all have to get more productive and more skilled.
But I’m looking to get off the rat race / wheel of futility and looking at things like consulting to augment and maybe replace my job. The autonomy and the flexibility and being my own boss so to speak is what I envy.
- scarface_74 2y agoAs long as by “consulting” you mean actual strategic consulting and not “staff augmentation”
- gigatexal 2y agoIf it’s work that I can set the hourly or project rate on I’ll take it. I mean I don’t ask or judge if the work is offered. But I guess I will find out if I am inheriting a half baked project suddenly given to me because all the wage workers were fired.
- scarface_74 2y agoThe difference is that staff augmentation consulting inherits the same issues as being a mid level ticket taker - you still just a commodity developer competing with other commodity developers from all over the world who are willing to work for a lot cheaper than you would be.
