Hi @iamdi , I really like the post and I think this is what is required for me to do right now.
I need some helpful suggestions from you.
I have around 6 years of exp. but I on't think I have enough knowledge respectively, I work with a service based company here in India and I have been trying to move out of the company but I see that my skills and my knowledge are only helpful to current company and not to market needs from a 6 year exp Software Engineer. I work here as a Data Engineer for some projects and backend engineer for some , Scrum master and Project manager for some projects. I have been trying to give interviews but get shot down getting feedback "not enough expertise".
I know now that I should invest my time in honing my skills but I just don't get past the comfort of the current job my lack of ability to take action.
:(
Guide me pls
I'm sorry for your situation. You absolutely can turn your situation around.
I believe that contributing to open-source can open broad possibilities to you. You can pick a project that is under the company where you dream to work for. I did that in the past and eventually get an offer from that company. But keep in mind this approach can take months but it's fun!
Another way is to apply each week/day and improve over time. It is a number game! You can read about the second approach here (or the same article on dev.to)
Good luck, Gogi!
