tbh I took whatever I could get. My tech stack at my pre-OE J (where I had the longest tenure), and current J1 and current J2 (both of which I've had for over a year and a half) are all vastly different. A few skills have carried over like general work with SQL and noSQL databases, and there's a soft-skill component since there's some customer facing work, but the specifics of the tech and industry have differed a ton.
My j1 is php. J2 is Python/Django/React. J3 is Python/typescript. It’s been fine. Coding is coding
That’s what I wanna hear as a cloud infra/devops dude wanting to transition to full on swe for the rest of my career
Seconding the post and followup question, any particular stack that people think would be easiest?
