Feeling stuck in an overspecialized niche /u/lboraz CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing a dilemma and could really use some advice. I’ve found myself deeply specialized in a niche technology that, unfortunately, no one seems to be hiring for. Over the past three years, I’ve only seen a role equivalent to mine advertised once, and it paid significantly less than my current position.

I feel trapped in my current job because I haven’t been able to switch to another role that offers better opportunities or higher pay. The job market for my specific skills is extremely limited, and I’m starting to worry about my career prospects.

I would love to move into a role that has higher market value and more demand.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and successfully transitioned to a new field or role? What steps did you take? Any advice on how I can broaden my skill set or pivot my career would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!
