Industry Research for Next Role?

What sources / resources do you use to make your next career move? I.e. "I saw Healthcare Cybersecurity is growing by XX% CAGR (or whatever material) and is expected to grow to XX Billion by 2026"... any good tips to better plan future moves?

No one can see the future, unfortunately.

Maybe google "x industry trends 2023" where x is a topic you're genuinely interested in.

what ive done is looked at the experience ive had up to this point, then looked at what are the BIG problems that are trying to be solved in that industry?

then what companies are trying to solve it?

then did research on those companies.
- who has a track record of doing big things in the past?
- who has leadership that has been there done that?

then reached out to THAT company and tried to get connected.

by doing this ive always been in an industry that has been (to this point) recession and layoff proof.

I try to stay abreast of what's going on generally in the economy and what trends are upcoming. Globe & Mail's Report on Business is good for that up in Canada, and I just subscribed to the Wall Street Journal and NY Times. ( @Pachacuti's OTE post prompted that as I hit a paywall, thanks dude!)

Industry is important but I think the organization itself is even more important. If you end up in a shite company in a good industry then you're not going to be happy or successful.

Leveraging your network is also key.

Pretty good stats in this article about SAAS products and companies. It claims that companies over 1000ee on average use 150 different saas products, which is a ton. Marketers need to market, sales need to sell, HR need to collect employee info, developers need to dev. There's a product for each
