Been 5 years in the industry. My first job was working with Vue, worked there for 2 years. Got laid off after covid burst. Found job being a senior engineer, making $100k. Quickly found out that there is no moving up, the tech stack is ancient, so I won’t transfer any technical skills, and job is lame. Technical progress at this job is slow, so I don’t hold out on a newer tech stack. I don’t care for titles, but I’m hoping to move to a new job that pays at least how much I’m making now, I’m okay with a lateral move, so long as I don’t lose money and the next job has a way I can actually move up and learn modern tech.
I’m considering learning React to make it easier to apply for jobs. However, I am questioning how effective that would be since I wouldn’t have any real world experience and the last time I worked in Vue professionally was a few years ago. I even considered a career change, but I’m not sure what career I can go into that would pay me this much without experience.
I am not in a rush to change, it doesn’t sound feasible anyway in this job market. However I am willing to put in time through year so that hopefully closer to the end of the year I am at a job that would actually move my career forward.
What do you suggest I do?
