Career Planning
Wednesday, June 13, 2012
Matt and I went to a lunch time seminar at TechEd about career planning. It was hosted by the awesome Paul Thurott of Windows Weekly on Twit TV. Jeff Snover (the inventor of PowerShell), gave a great 20 minute talk about the importance of career planning. He suggested that we should do what we love, invest in learning skills in technologies that will be successful and relevant, and stay away from technologies that have no future (Matt and I couldn’t help but laugh about that one… <cough> JD Edwards <cough>).
He ended the talk with this slide, which was very fitting considering the things that lie ahead in our careers…
The talk was followed by a panel discussion on emerging technologies like the cloud and mobile and how they will affect our careers. Fascinating stuff.
Overall, it was a very inspiring event with lots of great advice.
And to top it off, the event was at the Hilton across the street and they served us a much better free lunch than we would’ve otherwise gotten at the main conference.
