I started diversifying this year for this very reason. Firstly I’ve been engineering for over a decade and purposefully avoiding leadership roles, so I’ve stepped into a head of engineering role. Secondly I’ve taken up a specific wood working niche, it will provide me with a side hustle to begin with and help diversify our income.

I don’t think LLMs are taking jobs today, but I now clearly see a principal that has fully emerged, non tech people now have a lust for achieving and deploying various technology solutions, and the tech sector will fulfill it in the next decade.

Get ahead early.
