Question

Career in IT

Hello. Let me briefly formulate the question: did you have to change direction within IT and how painful was it in terms of drawdown in salaries and positions? Say, from a system programmer to a backend, from desktop to mobile, and so on?

painful in terms of drawdown in salaries and positions?

Zp always either remained or grew. In terms of time / energy / health costs - hell.

Answer 3

retraining leads to loss of qualification.
it's easy when you don't know anything and jump from technology to technology like a bunny.
there is, for example, a conditional person who has spent 3-4 years on technology.
retraining knocks him back with all the consequences, there are no guarantees.
if anyone does this, it is only within the framework of workflows, when, for example, they coded in php, then they decided to use go and the company pays for it and allows a person being in the state to do it calmly.
plus time and moral-physical costs, and this is a very high price.
and you don’t just need to write that any PL can be mastered in 21 days. I’ve been familiar with HTML for 20 years, and I’m doing layout on flexbox using an online generator, because you can’t figure it out without half a liter. Any technology now is a bottomless ocean, and swimming across such an ocean every time is an extremely serious task.

Answer 4
