The Dilemma About Working a Job Or Building a Portfolio

So I am an Asset and not a Liability Photo by Shridhar Gupta on Unsplash

I have spent 15 long, a little tenuous, but more exciting years in the IT industry. I have been blessed to learn new things and travel the world to work on emerging technical solutions. Lately, though, it feels less and less blessed.

The tech industry is normalizing in this post-pandemic world. The crazy times are not gone yet, but a sense of sanity prevails within the major organizations.

AI brought all the crazy back.

What I am getting at is that the highly coveted tech jobs are fading in quality as a service and becoming cluttered more with influencer-like content marketers driving tech decisions.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
