      @scottalanmiller I'm also approaching this as someone who desperately wants to learn, not @JaredBusch 's position where he already has a vast amount of knowledge.

      The only way to get 'vast amount of knowledge' is over a vast amount of time. Youre not going to get 20 years of xp and knowledge in 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years.
      It is like investing in that way, a little bit over long period of time = millionaire and retiring before age 65.
      a little knowledge every day for many years = being able to say 'FFS' to others.

      Exactly. Lots of time with regular, continuous studying all of that time. People often wonder how I knew so much so early in my IT career... it's because I studied for four years before getting my first SE job and did five years as an SE before getting my first real IT job. That's nine years of prep for my entry level position! And I was still entry level (but above minimum wage, at least.)

      SE is closely enough related to IT that in those early years, it advanced you almost as fast.

        This has been such a great thread to read, as I can empathize with @wirestyle22 with the knowledge and self-expectation problem. And I can empathize with the OP with trying to determine a direction.

          Career choices are hard. So many options but the route you pick affects you for so long.

            So back to the top....

            First step: determine the career goal that you are working towards.

              That's certainly where you need to start. Don't let the job define you, define your own career.

                Ok, I realized determining the career goal should be at top, but still above conversation given me good enough knowledge and understanding about IT posts/career path.

                Thanks all for suggestions and sharing knowledge !!

                    But still I don't know why Emojis are not working with me 🙂 , well I may need to start a topic under community things ?

                    How about selecting BA or HA, isn't there anything like that here ?

                        Emojis don't work, has nothing to do with you. With many updates to the community, emojis are the things that break.

                          No, those cause lots of confusion. Upvote thing that are helpful. You can mark something solved, but not BA. BA doesn't say that it is solved and provides for a lot of confusion.

                            Unless you have intentionally restricted something, the post as question plugin allows the OP to specify a specific post as the solution.
