Where do You Belong in Tech

From what I have seen, majority of the blog posts on dev.to are written by web devs. That may be because of the increasing popularity of it, however, there are dozens of other career possibilities within the tech industry and I would like to introduce them in this blog post so that you too can explore different areas of the technology world.

How to Know Which One is For You

You can never know for sure unless you have tried it all. But that takes time to experiment, so here is a little tip that helped me.

Select top 3 from the list above. Now, choose one from them and try out a side project or learn it for a month. If you like it, continue. If you don't, move on to the second.

If you are done with your top three, rinse and repeat. I still advise you to learn about other fields even if you liked your first selection though.

Good luck fellas!
