I completed the Setting Clear Goals & Objectives exercise for the 🧠 Mindset Of An Expert Developer course. I'm excited to share my goals with the community. I'm sharing my goals to create a space where we can declare what we want and work towards it together, just like and are teaching us. Let's build a supportive and accountable community where we can all achieve our goals. My 90-day, 1-year, and 3-year goals:
90 days: Get a new job as a front-end engineer using Next.js and TypeScript working on an e-commerce product for a company in the United States, earning an offer of $100,000, working 4 days a week, and having a fully remote contract. I continued to travel the United States in my SUV and 19-foot travel trailer with my wife and 2 children.
1 year: Become a full-stack engineer overseeing projects from start to finish. I'll use Astro.js to manage the website/application infrastructure and Vue.js for the front end. I'll earn $150,000 annually, take on more leadership responsibilities at my current job, attend four major tech conferences (2 in the U.S., 1 in South America, and 1 in Europe), and travel internationally with my wife and two children, living a digital nomad lifestyle.
3 years: Become a Software Architect at a well-respected tech company in Europe or Oceania, earning $250,000 annually, expanding my skill set to include AI-assisted development, becoming a generalist who focuses on solving problems efficiently with many tools at my disposal, and mentoring developers. I want to live on a farm with my wife, 2 kids, cows, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, birds, vegetable garden, and orchard.
I'm excited to see what the future holds for all of us! Share your own 90-day, 1-year, and 3-year goals in the comments below.
