A lot of comments recommending coding. I disagree. You should learn how not to code. “No-code” is one of the fastest growing markets in venture capital and is quickly making way to enterprise. You can build full-stack app’s, integrate API’s, build AI/ML - all w/o writing code. Software dev is one of the skills being automated faster than anything. Creative skills - like UX design, are harder to automate and becoming much more valuable. Reply if you want to know more.

...low no code relies on trust in efficient and effective code (across platforms, enabling elasticity and resilience, etc.) Some dubious assertions have been made in reply here and strategy folks need to be aware of trade offs. Top tier firms are able to afford the best when their ecosystem enables it to do so. Imo, get some ops experience. It's like leading in the executive branch before going back to simply leveraging spin capabilities from leading thought without the experience of doing.

Cloud hosts love stupid, inefficient code that drive up billable infrastructure costs.

OP where do you live, feel free to connect

I believe you need a star-up experience, perhaps even more than one.

Got it, thanks. I thought “star-up” was something different than a startup. I agree that startups offer a great chance to learn, and potentially do well if the company makes it long term.

I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
