cvhashim04··on Ask HN: How can a junior dev maximize their income?
I’ve been thinking about this. You bring up a good point. Advice of the last decade might not apply anymore given the changing landscape in tech and broader economy along with the feds response.

Joining hot new startups or VC propped companies may or may not be worthwhile. Is there a point of learning the latest FE frameworks or some new backend language? Companies will be risk averse. Hiring across the board might be tighter for the next couple of years with less roles so Leetcoding your way to a FAANG job might not be enough.

OTOH, the changing landscapes and uncertainty could lead to massive breakthroughs, initiatives and opportunities ex. (LLMs, AI, AR/VR, emerging markets in lesser developed countries, Renewable) etc.

Get good at public speaking

Learn how to tell a story

Get good at interviewing and Leetcode (this just isn’t going away anytime soon)

Learn some infrastructure management and plumbing

As for languages and code, join an org that uses Java and Go, should be good with those for the next decade :P
