    I’ve been working in IT for over 30 years, and every 10 years the goal post change. You have to reboot in terms of learning. Fundamentals remain the same but something new always comes along. You need to have a passion for IT so you enjoy it and learning does not become a chore. That’s the nature of the beast. If you want to improve your chances of getting that “dream” job. The best way is to build something (this also accelerates learning) and showcase it at your interview. It demonstrates a multitude of skills: intelligence, presentation skills, coding, communication, and in-depth technical knowledge, to name a few. If you’re not building a side hustle project, then you most likely don’t have a passion. IT is vast so find the area that excites you the most and excel in it. There are no short cuts in becoming competent, competition is too great. With AI, this is literally the best and easiest time right now to learn anything, and it will only get better. You can’t pick IT as an industry just because you want to make big salary because your skill set will always need updating. You need to enjoy what you’re doing and you must embrace change.

    Role overlap and confusion between different teams is another big issue. If someone else is doing your role in a related team, the risk of getting pushed into work you weren’t hired for increases. Incredibly hard to push back, if you see it happening (and it can’t be resolved) then start applying elsewhere. For me, this meant moving cities, countries. Not sure other jobs are better though. Save, invest.

(2) Competition : What has been referred to as 'competition' are actually the same folks who share your 'interests': those who understand your curiosities-&-likes that others don't get. (3) Dark-Side : Anything but destroying human-life, communities, or the HOME-planet is actually much on the BRIGHT-side.
