There is no such thing as job security in the field of programming
There is no such thing as job security in the field of programming.
The company can let you go at any moment.
This is not to scare you, it’s to prepare you.
But you are the owner of your career as a software developer.
So start acting like an owner.
Build your professional security.
Take a moment to check where you stand on the professional security checklist:
🍊 Clarity about your next role in software development.
🍊 A strong professional network in the programming world.
🍊 A personal brand that attracts at least 3 job opportunities a month (even if you are not looking for a job).
🍊 All your documents updated (LinkedIn, resume, personal website...).
🍊 Interview answers prepared with achievements in software projects.
🍊 Awareness of the gaps in your programming skills and a plan to improve them.
Don’t wait for something to happen.
There is only one person who can completely change the trajectory of your career as a software developer, and that person is you.
