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
When you will be at the very end of the career your payscale will be too high, what do you think company will prefer that time, in depth knowledge of one stack along with awareness of few other techs, or Having hands-on experience in many skills but no depth on any of them?
Yes so what is that one skill i stuck to workday or java(struggling in here).this after 5 year transition will impact may career later on or its doable
