Yeah, we have in demand skills but so do a lot of other people (espeicslly on a world wide scale). When everyone has "python developer" or "javascript developer" in their tag line, how do you stand out?

I second networking. Otherwise, specialize yourself in certain fields and market yourself with respect to them. I specialized myself in some obscure GIS subfield and it brought in a couple of sweet gigs over the course of the years.

Would you recommend specializing by industry in addition to technology?
