It took me 6months of playing around my organizations M365 tenant to become very proficient in the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps) to the point where my last 2 jobs have all been related to solutions and training with M365.
All I do is use these tools and show other people how to do their work in it and all of a sudden I’m employable and in demand.
It’s not even really IT.
Where would you suggest starting out? Is there a good course?
Just sign up for a free 3 month M365 tenant. You can set it all up yourself and have access to the full suite as global admin.
Thanks. Is this the most in-demand IT-related thing I can learn these days to get employed remotely?
Nope. I’m sure there are more in demand things one can learn that are IT-related. I just don’t know of them so I can’t say.
Another criterion might be to be self employed. I have little experience with that and it probably has it's pro's and con's but depending on what corporate culture you'll face as an employee. But it might be worth keep it in mind when choosing your profession.
What path would you recommend to take for that?
Mate IT is not lucrative anymore. Get into plumbing that's where the real money is. $200 for 30mins and then $40/15mins.
Thanks for the advice. But then how can I immigrate to Europe from a 3rd-world country using this skill? I plan to study for a Bachelor's in IT to get the initial study visa to then proceed into employment and hopefully permanent residency. And I'm also much more into computers than pipes, been my whole life.
Plus, the IT skills might allow me to work online for any company in the world, regardless of where I'll end up being.
Can't commen t on immigration but not all IT jobs gets you work from home option. IT is really broad- IT operations which include service desk, desktop support, sys admins and other engineers like wintel, storage, devops etc then there is software where you can be either tester , product owner, developer etc and I guarantee you not everyone gets remote work.
What do you think you can recommend for a future digital nomad to study now? What to really dive into to become successful in the near future?
AI
What course would you recommend to begin with?
A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
