Ask HN: Best Way to Transition from Here?
I've been coding for 10 years now and used PHP and JS frameworks as my tech stack. I want to jump ship and start using modern tech like Go or focus heavily on data analysis using Python (ML).
How do I get a remote developer job with this technology when I'm just starting out since the majority of the companies require some experience?
P.S. This has been stressing me out for the past few months because I feel like I'm stagnating already and I know that I wanted to move forward. I'd guess the same way you got your start in PHP/JS - if you're like a lot of people. Do some personal and side projects in $newTech that you can use to show the required experience - then do the "word things carefully on your resume" thing, which emphasises both your commercial experience, and your $newTech experience, without explicitly claiming commercial experience in $newTech. Then wing it like crazy when you get an interview...
