About the talk:

So many cool new technologies at events and blogs! But back to real life, you feel you are not learning enough. You don’t expect to use this cool stuff anytime soon. You feel stuck or bored, even stagnated. You’ve hit a career plateau. This may not be as bad as it sounds, though: boredom is a symptom of growth, not of failure. But either you solve it or it will crush you! You can use your experience to design your career and push it to the next level. In this interactive session, you’ll get a chance to discuss your real-life situation so you can create opportunities, improve your projects, and achieve career freedom.
