Should I transition my career to a new technology after 5 years of IT experience, or continue in my current stack?
I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science in 2020. My career journey so far looks like this: • Early 2020: Worked as an ML Engineer Intern until June 2020 • Mid 2020 – April 2022: Worked at a startup on React, with low pay (₹10k/month) • Aug 2022 – May 2024: Joined Accenture as a fresher, worked on Java (basic level) and Angular • Dec 2024 onwards: Shifted to AWS support work (log tracing, file name changes, basic operational tasks) • Jan 2025 – Jan 2026: Currently in a pure support project with limited development exposure
Now, in January 2026, I’m getting an opportunity to move into Workday.
My confusion is: • Is it worth transitioning to Workday after ~5 years of IT experience? • Or should I continue and deepen my skills in Java / Angular / AWS, even though my recent experience has been mostly support-based? • If I choose Workday, how will my last 5 years of mixed experience be viewed by recruiters and future employers? • Will this transition reset my career growth, or can it actually help me build a stronger, more focused profile?
I want to make a decision that makes sense long-term, in terms of: • Career growth • Job stability • Salary progression • Market demand
