My 6-month career roadmap

In recent times we have seen the market trends are changing drastically due to the COVID situation for the last one and a half years. Promotion of social distancing and lockdowns have increased the demands of IT services.

This demand has led to an increase in demand for IT employees. Companies are still new to end-to-end online interviews. This has created a bull market for the existing IT employees who are drawing two to three times their existing salaries.

Problems with the market are whenever such occurrences occur when we see insignificant ups and downs are they are not forever. There will be a time when the market realizes that it is paying more than its worth. It is important to improve the quality of the product. Here, we need to check how exactly our skills are adding to the growth and development of the organization for which we are working. So I am planning out the next half of my year.

Keeping the above in mind, I am creating a 6-month roadmap for me, 31 December, choosing this date for sentiment's sake.

I am Software Developer and I want to develop my knowledge in the field where I am presently working. As I am working in the field of web development, I would like to improve my knowledge in the areas of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ES6, React-Redux, and AWS.

For this, I will be learning from courses mostly from MOOCs, creating projects, and keep networking with great developers so that we learn from each other. Let’s break it down further, till September I will target to complete one course in React, create one project in my pass time. In the second half, till December I want to target the internal working of JavaScript and have a decent knowledge of cloud technologies.

This is my high-level plan. I hope I will be consistent and will be able to achieve this target, this will ensure I am still relevant and keep up with the then demands.
