   The hardest part about preparing for a new job is deciding what language I should be practicing. I wrote C# for the past two years, but I don’t exactly want to stay with it.

   Web jobs are abundant, so do I focus on the latest Javascript?

   Do I brush up on C and revisit Rust, to go back systems programming, like before I got hired to do web dev work?

   Or, do I follow my heart and actually become a fully competent functional programmer in Guile and/or Elixir?

   Question for other engineers –how much do you search for a specific language/technology when job searching?

     @nebunez Personally I pay next to no attention to the specific languages being searched for, I feel confident in just about anything! (though JS frameworks are a turn-off for me)

     Last time I job-hunted I applied for just about everything because that's how I was pushed, but next time I think I should focus on whether I believe in the problem they're solving. If I can motivate myself to do the work!
