Ask HN: How to grow after 10 years in the industry?
7 by theory_of_10_1 | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hey! - I've been working for around 10 years - half of that was as a software engineer and the other half as a VP of Engineering - I am good with people and I really love my industry, I don't consider myself at work - I make something like 65k after taxes - I live outside the states (not a US citizen) but I've been working directly with US companies (international contractor) for the last 7 years - I have a family, 2 kids and my wife is pregnant I love my work, love my team. I really enjoy it When I look back at the last 3 years, I don't see a clear growth. I try to do things in the right way, go deeper with what I do (read books, and articles) and improve my skills I feel that my career is steady and not growing fast enough at this time I am not sure about how to move forward, but I am thinking about: - should I look for a new adventure with some real challenges? - should I stay and keep growing myself? - am I underpaid? I mean, will I be able to get a better salary if I find a better fit? - should I pursue a master's degree? I appreciate your feedback and help!
