Do online courses in areas of your interest.
Yes! Bonus points if your areas of interest align with your job, you may be able to get your company to foot the bill
I'm a power platform developer who was told yesterday by my boss' boss that I am no longer allowed to create apps or automations (because I create solutions for issues quicker than corporate can provide them), so my work is now IT support for the office until I find something else.
I have no certificates, and my job (global company of 30k employees) does not pay for any certificates or courses, but if we pay for it ourselves, we don't have to use vacation days etc.
Not all companies are willing to pay.
Oh, and I'm writing this during work hours from my personal phone because I have literally nothing to do at my work now! So many apps and automations have been shelved, and more in-prod apps will be removed next week. Just one button in one of the apps has saved the company more than 800 manhours per year, but management is not happy with the solution, so they're killing it. Not my loss, but jesus Christ, this is literally one of the dumbest things I've personally experienced during my 18 year career.
