Ask HN: How do you switch domains / industries?
In software development, it seems that many domains and industries prefer to hire people who have professional experience in that industry. In one particular case, I saw a job listing that strongly preferred people who had worked at a small set of competitor companies.
How does a developer manage to switch to a domain or industry completely outside their experience?

So perhaps one way to switch would be to learn a tech skill and use that as leverage. i.e. Rust to get into blokchain/crypto.
Julia to get into Bigdata, AI and ML.
Kubernetes to get into DevOps/CI-CD etc.
Right now dropshipping is a new skill you can switch by learning its softwares. See this to learn few of them - https://www.howtobuysaas.com/blog/software-for-dropshipping/
