Where to go after javascript?

Question

JavaScript

I work as a middle javascript developer in a decent company, good conditions, worked with React, React Native, Angular >2. But all the work that I do seems already boring and I'm not sure that in the future, in general, web development will also be well paid. I would like to change the profile of activity a bit (artificial intelligence, big data, etc) and not be very painful. Maybe someone has a similar experience?

Answer 1

Watch Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Stay Hungry" for a distraction. He also wrote a book called "Total Recall". It's also a great book. I strongly recommend reading.
There is no most interesting profession or occupation. We must teach ourselves to constantly want something and achieve our desires (ideally, but no one is perfect). It's not that your work has become boring, but that you have not taught yourself to look for interesting work within the framework of your activity. If you go to another area (at least a new language, at least bake rolls), then the same thing will happen there after a while. And after two or three attempts, you will fall into apathy and there will be something like "life cracked and became like an ass." No one will offer you an interesting job just for you.

Answer 2

Another "where to go"? The answer will be tough - work and earn money, stop rushing from one area to another. Become a real professional, earn the respect of the community, come up with something new (just don't ask what). Get a job at Mozilla, Google, etc. and develop core JavaScript. Yes, there are a lot of options - and you don’t have to “apply” anywhere.

Answer 3

The question is more on psychology than on IT. A person comes to a psychologist and asks what to do in a certain situation. The psychologist asks various questions, pulling out information, and voices options. Moreover, in fact, these are not the options that the psychologist came up with, but options that the patient already has in his head, but for some reason he himself was afraid / did not know how to voice for himself.
What do you like the most? I like big date - pull up the materiel, try to pass an interview for this position. Like something else - the same thing. It has already been well answered here that no one knows better than you where it is better to go. And as for money, they can be earned everywhere, if there were a qualified specialist.

Answer 4

As I understand it, in both of these areas, if you are doing research - Python, if you are writing a combat product - C ++. Everything else is much less common.

Answer 5

You're talking boring. Get a job in Google, Yandex, there are interesting projects. In general, you need to create your own project and earn money yourself.

Answer 6

all the work that I do seems already boring
It's just fun to have fun, but the work is all boring
quite well Quite right. They don't pay much for web development anymore. Perhaps you are lucky and you work in an office that directly or indirectly cuts Gazprom money and you are taught fat crumbs from the master's table. The problem is that you came to this job, where the entry threshold is terribly low.
A person who has the opportunity to change jobs, he changes it and does not ask stupid questions. For example, when I had the opportunity to earn 2 times more, I just changed jobs. You have neither the desire to study, nor the desire to work hard and hard.
Briefly speaking. Do not fool your head, sit where you are until you are kicked out

Answer 7

I have the opposite. Three years ago, I almost retrained as a developer from an analyst. The miracle took away from it.
Then I decided - I will pump in the area where I am. Began to read a bunch of resources. Tried about a dozen new programs. Passed machine learning. Two years ago, I began to learn python (both for data analysis and development). A year ago, I could not stand it, I began to learn html - css - js. This year I began to understand angular and react.
And there is a lot more to learn (data warehousing, better understanding of google analytics, testing data processing and collection processes, ...).
Eventually.
I chose the best data analysis and visualization program for myself.
For online dashboards, I write custom applications with graphs in Angular.
Automated a bunch of tedious work for me with the help of python and programs.
Organized the work of the analytics department (duties, helped with automation, made a bunch of offline reports to managers).
And all this without changing the profession. Demanding a fair increase every year as a spacialist :)
