Original Text

About my experience(10 yoe):

- Tech stack: C, C++, python, OpenCL, GPU and DSP programming. Along with that some performance engineering and docker topics.

Problem:

- not feeling confident enough in my skillset. I feel that I have breadth of topics but deep expertise is missing.

- I am with the same company(automotive supplier) for 8 years but switched teams after 4 years. Topics are random based on the customer project as there is no real sw product. I believe this hinders in becoming expert.

- Finding new job is becoming harder day-by-day.

Looking for advice/recommendations:

- How can I turn the situation?

- Has anyone here has faced similar situation and come out of it? What did you do?
