Ten ways to make millions in your career

The original of this post is posted in the Career Center section of the SAP Community Network. Nevertheless, I think that these tips can be useful for the habrasoobshchestvu, so in this translation, I allowed a little to deviate from the SAP-orientation of the original.

Every week a lot of people ask me questions about how to make a career. I collected my thoughts, and I want to convey to you ten tips on how to enter our world and get rich by working in it:

1. Put your career first, not money
2. Focus on the area that is “rumored” in demand
3. Have no idea how the business is conducted in the area where you decide to stay.
4. Work exclusively on the implementation of functional projects [ development from scratch, - approx. per. ], as projects supporting existing solutions are the way to nowhere
5. Spend as much time getting the appropriate certificates as you can afford.
6. Remember that you only work from nine to five, as you have something to do not only in the workplace
7. Do not concentrate on "time sinks", be it social networks, conferences or even Habrahabr, as long as you have to earn money
8. To get rich, save up your knowledge as if it were the last thing you wanted to give to someone.
9. Remember that travel is not for you. Remote work is ideal
10. Let everyone know your employment in the near future so that people can plan their projects based on it.

As you can see, you need to focus on several areas, if you want a fast-moving career, why should it be difficult? It would be interesting if you shared your „tips“ to spread wealth :-)

I hope you will say that such articles have already been, I myself have heard many opinions on this matter during my career. Seriously, you follow them or adhere to the opposite point of view, you will have more chances in the long term, as it still requires titanic efforts, dedication, self-sacrifice, good luck and inspiration.
