I somehow managed to get my first job a few months ago. To not give too many details about where, it’s in a in a finance adjacent industry. My basically writes data pipelines for various other departments, Fixing data issues, and just general management of our companies data. We do write some of our pipelines in more modern languages like Python or GUI tools, but a lot of the core business comes from IBM i using DB2 and RPG.. Some of this code looks like bloody Assembly at times. While I do enjoy the workplace and don’t plan to leave anytime soon, I am worried about my marketability in the future. I’ve been laid off from a non tech job before and have been watching all these tech layoffs lately, so I try to keep myself marketable at all times in case I end up having to find another job. What are some things I should be taking away even with some niche/unmarketable technology?
