Software development in 2024 in the corporate world is a dual exercise in getting and maintaining skills, along with navigating and handling interactions with coworkers, managers, and upper-level execs. Software development itself is a highly-observed skill that is leveraged in interviews to weed out those that can't code, but has surprisingly smaller leverage in the day-to-day execution of corporate work. With that said, good code speaks for itself. The trick is knowing that your code is good, despite what everyone else wants your code to be, and knowing how to market yourself. I'm working on both of those.
If your code is too good then trust me you shouldn't be coding, you should be leading team of developers, reviewing their code. That is the only best way a company can get the most bucket out of you. And funny thing is, if company desires leadership roles automatically people's management becomes a non deniable requirement for them and they this start looking for emotional intelligence and what not! 🤷♂️
Fun fact: - excellent at coding? Don't code but review others code. - reviewing others code? Be leader and manage the project as well. - managing project? Then Expected to manage communication between different teams! - managing communication between teams? You should be doing a startup and running your own business! 🤷♂️😂

That’s applicable to any STEM job…

I guess that's true for all industries.
Excellent video and literally the right time for me to get it. Thanks for connecting all the dots and the playbook.
Companies today: You'll receive a salary, but expect increasing overtime and workload without a corresponding salary increase.
How would i start with proper entrepreneurship as a software developer. Is freelancing still worth it?
If you have connections, you know how to network with people and you know how to market yourself then yes freelancing is worth it
