Hi guys , im wondering skills that have high demand currently and 2-3 years in future in IT/programmer field ?

Not fresh grad (0 years of exp), considered junior exec (1-2 years of exp).

Yes, it's odd, coz we're taught from young to study hard, graduate, work to the top & retire. That's how most people are trapped in the rat race, coz we follow the definition of success that is taught by our parents, the media and the society, without asking ourselves whether it's what we really want. Hence, a lot of people have Monday blues, hate their jobs, job hop a lot, work like a robot, etc.

The corporate lattice model was first introduced in 2010. My career moves are linked to a preceding concept called mass career customisation (introduced in 2006). There are books on these two concepts, which are explained in detail with examples.

Anyway, here are some articles for people to read and think:
Why Climbing the Corporate Ladder Is No Longer The Ultimate Goal
Why You Should Consider A Horizontal Career Move
The Benefits of Horizontal Career Growth vs Verticial Career Growth
Ladder vs Lattice: Why Horizontal Career Moves Can Help You Climb Higher, Faster

Another interesting read is this:
Identifying Your Job Niche with Blue Ocean Strategy

From the article, "A blue ocean strategy is simply positioning yourself so uniquely that you don’t have any competition. In other words, you separate yourself from the crowd by offering a different type of value to the hiring manager."

Like I shared earlier, I'm the only one getting hired. The job ad was posted after I was hired. I didn't need to compete with any job seekers. On the 5th day after the job was posted, there were about 30+ applicants. 30 days later, 100+ applicants. For lecturing job, there were about 300- 700 applicants. Imagine skipping all that competition and frustration, and get hired directly within a month.

Anyway, thanks for reading and replying. I'm just sharing a new way of looking at things for people to reevaluate their career & life.
