What do you think matters more? Skills Or Degree?

I worked in a company for 20 years and suddenly put off role. Searching jobs I realised I am over age for various roles that I could do and less experienced for Leadership Roles as my exposure was limited. I always thought I am earning decent money and can work another 7 years and retire at 50. Though the younger generation is much smarter I still want to advise them (BFSI specific)
* Work in a role for max 2-3 years and switch when you feel you are done.
* By age of 30, if you are still earning less than 10 lakh you are not growing 
* By age of 35 you must become AVP as no company will hire AVP if you are more than 36.
*Be loyal to your self, not your organization. 
* Most importantly save atleast 30% or more of whatever your CTC. Donot spend much with every raise. 
* Buy a property, and pay loans before 35.

In tough times it's only Savings that give you cushion and peace nothing else

What do you guys prefer, Linkedin or Communities?

That's why I prefer this platform "Communities". It has a more fun vibe, a good break from the seriousness of LinkedIn.

i was recently working at a Bangalore startup where my JD said “Full-Stack Developer,”

 but within a month I was also writing LinkedIn content, fixing the office router, and once even booked hotel rooms for a team offsite I wasn’t invited to. along with my job i was also being used as a PA , i mean there are limits to chaos 
i have realized this now that in startups, your job title is just a suggestion.

Was hired as a full stack developer but...

It feels like everywhere you look, there's a new headline about Al taking over jobs and changing everything as we know it. It's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed, when you hear all that talk. Al isn't just about job losses; it's about job evolution and creation too! Throughout history, new technologies have always shifted the job market, and while some roles change or get obsolete, many new and exciting opportunities emerge.

Instead of focusing on the "Al is taking over" narrative, let's think about How Al can make our current jobs easier and more efficient. Imagine Al as a powerful assistant, not a replacement! * The new roles and industries that Al will create. Think about Al developers, ethicists, trainers, and specialists in countless fields.

* The opportunity to learn new skills and adapt. This is our chance to grow and become even more valuable in the workforce use this moment to empower ourselves with knowledge, not fear. What are your thoughts?
