Whether you agree or not with my previous starement that IT population in developed world will decrease over the next decade, there are something we gonna do no matter what, to survive in this harsh environment.
1. Stay ahead of technology curve
Be aware and stay away from commoditized technologies. Those areas are destined to shrink and easy to be included in the next take-out bid. Always plan ahead and learn something new. Don't be lazy.
2. Build business consulting skills
To understand complex problems, to have industry specific insight, and can provide best practices across a broad range of products and solutions.Try to build strong consulting skills, who understand the customer's business process and pain points, independent of vendor technical products, build the relationships, and sell the value.
3. Focus on higher margin growing market sectors
Know the industry trend. Focus on higher margin sectors.Drive revenue and profit, make yourself useful.
