How to increase the cost of your hour of work?

Question

Career in IT

I work on node.js on the back
There are several ways to increase your value in the market:
- have more experience (you can’t speed up here)
- learn technologies (typescript, nest.js, aws)
- learn spoken English

English and work over the hill gives you immediately x2
typescript, nest.js - not easy to learn, but growth is not big
aws - the technology is new and in demand - there should be a strong increase in salary

What do you advise?
How to prioritize for the fastest and greatest result?

Answer 1

Hard skills are good, but your question is about something else.
How to learn to sell your time dearly? Learn to sell high.

Answer 2

First of all, spoken English. Other languages ​​will be a plus if you have a talent for languages ​​(German, Spanish, French).
Further, as already written, learn how to sell yourself - write a resume correctly, present experience correctly, embellish a little. Somehow I already wrote here that there were cases in my practice when the salary of two specialists with the same knowledge differed by more than 2 times, simply because they came to the company at different times and one of them valued himself more.
And there is no need to be afraid of the difficulties in tasks, with the presence of a head, new technologies are mastered very quickly when they are really needed in the work.

Answer 3

English and some kind of fintech startup. You understand the risks

Answer 4

Answer 5

1) How else can you speed up
2) learn
3) for two times in an English-speaking environment,
well, in general, it’s somehow strange that you voice x2 spear, as if you are working for 10 thousand rubles
, even in nsk xx there are quite a lot of vacancies with a salary of 150k on a node, but what is going on in Moscow time.
that is, it was 150k, it became 300k, such a small boost
