Focus on skills first and money will follow
This year has been one of the dull years where there is not enough opening outside. People find it hard to switch jobs this year and I also heard that many companies try to reduce the headcount in their company. Only a few regular jobs flourish and especially IT business is not very great. Most companies try to increase their projects but would like to reduce the headcount.
In some companies, AI is also playing a very important role. Companies are trying to do some digital transformation and as part of that process, many people who are doing manual work are losing their jobs. It is like the AI or automation taking away manual tasks and people end up losing their job. This is one of the primary reasons why I think having enough skills is very important. Knowing a job and knowing how to do it may not be the only thing that would be required. The job can easily get automated and we might lose our job. But if we have a specific skill, especially a skill that cannot be replaced by bots, we will always have a great demand in the market.
Finding the right job
It is important to find the right job that is suitable for us. We shouldn't get stuck in a place that has no growth or no learning. In most of the jobs, people have to do creative things. If there is a place where there is no room for creativity then it means we are not contributing to that job. It is the right time to look for a job where our contribution is crucial and we are doing something innovative or creative in the job. Those types of jobs will always need human intervention and will hardly get replaced by the bots.
Demand for the right monitory compensation
People sit on the right job but they are not good negotiators. Companies usually don't pay the employees on their own. I mean they don't randomly increase the salary of someone on their own. In 80 percent of the companies, monetary compensation increases only on demand. We have to keep doing a self-analysis to see if we are being paid fair and based on the market standards. If we have a skill and if that skill is unique, we have to freedom to demand a good monetary compensation. There would be no limit on how much the skilled person can be paid. Picking such jobs is a good thing to demand better monetary compensation.
Never stop your learning
To grow, it is important that we have to keep learning. Doing a self-assessment and finding out what skills we have and what skills we will need for the future is very important. Based on the assessment if we keep learning, we will be able to survive in the market. Today people who are coming out of college are already equipped with a lot of knowledge. Someone who has been working in a company for nearly 10 years is not able to compete with their knowledge. This is one of the primary reasons why we have to keep learning and stay up to date with all the knowledge related to our jobs or skills.
Self-assessment every 6 months
Once in 6 months, we have to take our resume and see how many changes we can make to our resume. It doesn't mean that we have to remove anything and add something new but the important thing is to see how we have improved in the last 6 months and what additions we can make in the resume. By additions, it is not about adding something random but spending the time wisely so that we can get our skills upgraded and we can update our resume accordingly.
If we are well equipped with all the above things and keep ourselves up to date, we can move to better jobs if required with the right monetary compensation. This is the genuine way to increase the money flow we can get through our jobs.

Inflation has not been easy on both the employers and employees. Thank goodness you have brought out the vital importance of owning your skill. Now more than ever people should position the selves to become irreplaceable.
A big mistake many people are making is that they don't see the bigger picture. That is the only way to analyze yourself very well and where you are headed. In this era, I still know countless people who find it disturbing to sit down and learn something new.
But the real problem for some people has to do with where they live because there is unemployment in most part of the world and the best way to deal with this is to grind harder and get out of your comfort zone.
Being human our focus is always the pay cheque and really how good the job is for us.
Up until stress and fatigue over ride the joy of the pay cheque we realize the job is not for us. Lucky are they who have not worked them selves into debt and have the privilege walking away from the high pay. To go and start afresh
This is just the beginning of the fight between A.I and humans. Humans are scared and big money pockets are greedy attempting to get it all. Many will lose their jobs eventually . A skill and knowledge of how navigate the dark earth is all a job seeker needs to land themselves a job.
This is true, we have seen it happening in many places that people learn skills by hard work, then it takes time, but one day they become successful and people respect them.
People with skills are always respectful.
Yeah.

Wanting to do better or upgrade as a skilled person in one thing or another is really important. Learning never stops and that’s why people who are fortunate today got there because of the amount of hard-work they put into it
Not the easiest of times to maneuver. One has to work extra harder than they have always done to land a job.
Thank you for the timely advice. This has to be taken very seriously. In no time all those warnings will be seen taking center stage more and more.
Indeed never stop learning.. Learning is a super power. And being deliberate with knowing how fast tech is moving. Will set the human race apart and ahead of whatever want to come for the job market. Wonder write up.
If only people understand that quality always comes first. It is your value that you actually have that will determine how much you will definitely be paid of
