Ask HN: How do you transition to a new stack or language for your next job?

9 pointsfaitswulff1 comment

I'd like to switch to a new stack or language for my next job, but it's always the most practical and easiest to stick with what I know. What are your strategies for diversifying your experience and actually landing jobs where you're new to the programming language or stack?

You can get jobs in tech stacks you don't know. It's harder, but totally possible.

Easiest way: switch teams at current job.

If not: find jobs where otherwise you're a great fit (e.g. domain knowledge). Find companies that are more likely to have learning culture. Emphasize ability to learn quickly.
