Job security for engineers is dead.

Career security is what matters.

You build it by learning, changing, taking risks, being reliable and stepping outside your lane.

Your employer won’t prioritise your long-term career.

You should.

@mikemcquaid Furthermore contrary to what we are sold none of my managers were able or willing to guide me either. In this business you truly are on your own to build out your network and make career moves.
@mikemcquaid Corollary: Loyalty to a single employer will not be rewarded. Keep your eyes open and your CV updated.
@mikemcquaid @neverpanic Isn’t that horrible bad for companies? Like you have a huge turn around and need to train new people all the time? Feels like utterly stupid
@mikemcquaid This applies to all jobs and as far as I can tell was in effect since at least 1989.
