[@murrmightfish9288]

Great advice here. As an INTP, never underestimate the value of a sideways move to build a broad range of skills and experience. Once you're no longer learning much in a role, move.

[@elisabethschlarb3059]

Lol too bad we often stop learning after like 6 months and then we end up looking like job hoppers 😕😅🙈

[@Zeusspupp]

INTP with 57 years experience ... First part of the video was spot on, be a generalist, walk your own line, call your own shots because you have the knowledge and skills. Im a toolmaker, old trade/craft, beautiful metamorphosis of engineering , art, and craft, work that uses your mind and your hands. Over my life I have learned Linux, multiple engineering programs, electrical and plc systems, pneumatics and hydraulics, servo and motion systems in addition to the skills to make precise parts from any material.. Second half, mostly bs. There is more to a career then IT, and im not suggesting anyone set foot in a machine shop unless you really like it, the world is where it is because of the trades. Skilled tradesmen use every bit of their intellect as any IT guy. Want a good career? Hone your troubleshooting skills on CNC equipment , robotics and plc systems, be a hired gun with the answers. Never stop learning ....and take shit from no one.

I got into computers as bachelor because i was curious how computer actually works and even goes into deeper of how chips communicate more deeper it goes and i am into how charges goes inside that chips . Before getting into computers i was into hand on stuff like fixing devices gadgets home appliances i just carry screwdriver with me and still do , i get too much excited to fix something if they have some trouble in them even if i dont know how to fix i go into myself bring knowledge from theory and find root of problem and fix stuff . As of now i dont like my decision of choosing computer as my bachelor becoze it turns out mostly on coding and copy pasting the stuff from github and maybe upgrading them i think you getting what i am trying to convey . I got into linux mostly copy pasted i mean most of these stuff are clicking or going through steps of how to develop some stuff . I like to get into robotics as it will get me into my mechanical computer electrical stuff i am just 21 right now finding job . Stuff you wrote like plc hydraulic and all i also wanted to work with them but problem is if i am not going to work with them purposefully its hard for me to sit and start tutorial of long journey to get into mastering them its like jack of all trade master of none and i think i will be master of them if I actually find real purpose for them like on my job . I even figure out how many things work without even digging into articles. Not going to bore you i guess this is enough to let you understand me . Any tips sir for me it will be very helpful

I am an INTP and this video is GOLD especially on being a generalist. I am studying to be a web developer and I will continue to make study and get good but this video opened up the opportunities of other things in tech I didn't know. Software development is a fine job for INTPs and it is much better than working at a restaurant, but of course, I want to keep learning and growing and these tech jobs I will try to do too and get good at everything! Thanks so much! This is the best channel on youtube for MBTI advice and CS Joseph may get hate, but I think should keep going because these are amazing and well done :) screw haters

[@CNStanza1]

I always knew I wanted to be a scientist, I turned one becoming one, even got a PhD. What has always helped me make difficult choices when there are too many options to pick from is the following. I do not chose what makes me passionate, almost nothing makes me feel passionate, I rule out what I dislike and end up choosing by discarding the other options. Eventually I find that what I chose is the most fullfilling. If I wait to feel passionate about something I end up choosing nothing. If you don't choose something, the choice then is taken away from you one way or another.

[@AdrianneChristineBooks]

I’m an INTP and I have no idea what I want to do and ended up in the job I’ve been in for the last 6 years and I couldn’t care less about it. I’ve been working on my KZbin and writing recently but self motivation especially during ‘off hours’ is a struggle 😅

As an INTP early in my IT career it is so cool seeing you talk about IT, never knew you were in the field. So this video was answering Kindof a perfect question to ask you hahaha

[@understandingyourself]

Best advice i've ever heard, as an INTP, thanks from the bottom of my heart

[@catinthepeng2686]

Ever since I moved jobs, I'd been feeling unsatisfied. In the previous job, I worked in contracts, dealt with Finance, helped with Sales, and assisted with software management (the company had just gotten a new CMS, and I got hired because I claimed to have some tech experience). I was basically connected to everyone and everything, and I could fast-track things, fix things, and learn so much. But it was a contract position, and I didn't get things like Insurance. In this new job, I am a specialist. I do one thing, which is mostly writing legal documents... which is important, yes. But I feel like my potential isn't being used fully; I get bored, I get lazy (I've actually gotten lazy), and I feel as if I'm regressing. But I get full benefits. 401K, insurance, IRA... Thanks for this. I am now seeing that Ne parent = Just learn EVERYTHING function. :) I'm just going to have to get more jobs on the side.

[@linguavert4399]

Hi, Chase! I hesitated to watch this video because I neither work in IT nor have an affinity for it, so I was pleasantly surprised by how *general* so much of your advice was. (I'm sure the specific stuff was golden, too!) Thank you.

[@saavyz]

The video we’ve all been waiting for.

[@Fedraco]

This strangely came when I needed it. I was questioning what to do career-wise (need to escape the mistake of becoming team lead) and have trouble because I have ADD when it comes to interest, careers, language to learn, game to play, or class to play in MMORPG. I also now have a desire to one day get a house so I could have more room for my tortoises. They are babies so I have a couple of years.

[@JohnSmith-rq2xe]

Chase, didn't you previously say that INTPs are all about specializing? And how their Ni critic doesn't want anything until it finds something they want more than anything. Could you expand on that?

[@CSJoseph]

Yes, they are all about specializing, which is why I had to make a whole video telling them they need to generalize in this field to be successful.

[@borisvandruff7532]

Your Te trickster comment made me feel not just exposed, but genuinely seen. I struggle a lot with discarding ideas and systems and ideologies because they are not perfectly logical and because they don’t make perfect sense. What you say about generalists vs. specialists is definitely worth considering. I’m following my path to religious ministry but outside of that, my daily bread has been earned through all different kinds of work: singing, gardening, teaching, factory labor, right now I’m doing tech support…and every one of these skills is useful for my future.

[@rp627]

just info for others: if it’s a company, just find the most generalist position, one that allows you freedom to wander, explore, do your own thang. In software, maybe it’s like “tools dev”, as in, making software to help others do their work more efficiently... on your own, independently. Any specialized role will get boring within 3 months.

[@CricketRodeo]

thanks for that advice!

[@user-yf2sy9eh5p]

I really needed this! I’ve always thought of several things I want to do but I never knew exactly what I want. I ended up specializing in college with a major I don’t like but I think you may be right I’m not suitable for college and it doesn’t really matter what major It will lead me to the same thing.

[@cesarchimalpopoca4401]

[@cesarchimalpopoca4401]

[@00Klingon]

I’m of the opinion that certifications are good to get your foot in the door when starting out but experience trumps all. I find people that only seek out certifications in life often have a shallow understanding of the subjects. Actually applying knowledge practically is what most employers want. This can be something an INTP can struggle with, living in the theoretical. Step outside of your comfort zone and put that book knowledge to the test. Start a hobby (build a server, etc). and then you will have more practical knowledge to back up that certification and can speak from a position of real understanding.

[@SkillOPill]

This is quite helpful. I realized that I had to spread out my experiences because I can learn pretty much anything as long as I took the time to study and practice it. I wanted to be able to specialize in something but my focus is never in one thing. I'm trying to learn IT over programming because it's a more useful career atm and will always be needed.

[@SkillOPill]

Also I see why I'm frustrated with my infj friend when he disregards information that actually could affect him but he doesn't see it 🤣

[@knifeyonline]

Wtf are you talking about lol, programming won't always be needed?

[@SkillOPill]

@@knifeyonline OK, programming will be needed but its a field that requires hardcore focus to be get really good at it. I'm learning it too but my focus is in IT.

[@knifeyonline]

@@SkillOPill okay... Well if you set out to "learn coding" that would probably be difficult. I very much enjoy it because learning new code is just something that happens as part of making the thing in enjoying making 🤷‍♂️😄

[@knifeyonline]

@@SkillOPill also my focus is definately not IT, it's bringing my visions to life. My goal is making, and I just happen to use code to make it happen 😆 I would encourage intp's to all strive for the same thing. Because that's where the greatest sense of accomplishment lies. (This might mostly apply to entj focused intp's)

[@Korupshenv1]

I never thought about this perspective. 🤔 This is why it has been difficult to just sit there and code for many hours. I find myself thinking about the system as a whole and feel like I am in a VSCode sandbox. Thank you for sharing your insights!

[@danielribeiro9720]

So, let me know if I understood it correctly: INTPs first specialize to later on become generalists, meanwhile ISTPs first are jack of all trades and later on they decide to specialize in everything else? Also, what do you think about INTPs doing Data Science?

[@CSJoseph]

They can

[@bodhisattvaFM]

Not a tech worker but I've had social science profs say very similar things about specialization vs generalization. Thx for the book recc! Even more off-topic, I just had some stuff happen that made me feel like I should tell the world CS Joseph is at least occasionally very very painfully correct about ISFJs. LIke, wow.

[@ninaivana1106]

Amazing advice! I felt relieved hearing to be a generalist is a good thing ^^

[@kialburg]

I've found there's value in Big Data in specializing outside of CS. It can be more valuable to learn the domain knowledge of your clients - engineers, accountants, whoever - than in learning more programming languages or frameworks. Apparently, many specialized software developers aren't effective at collaborating with people outside of IT.

There’s an example could be an inspirational guidance is Richard from Silicon Valley. His grand vision was “build an decentralized network” as ground infrastructure. Along the way he carries his PP through the market, he dealt with business side of tech like, investors, big competitors, marketing, policies and legislative stands. Silicone Valley is like a grand book of “How INTP become an ALPHA” (with the group efforts of an Intj/Gilfoyl, Entp/Erlich,esfp/Dinesh, esfj/Jared and many others)

[@elkrazi]

Solid advise Chase. However I'd just like to caveat this advise with an assumption that you have interest in learning all these technologies. If you don't have the slightest inclination to learn them, you will suffer tremendously because being in IT is CONSTANT LEARNING and upskilling. It DOES NOT END! You will always be learning new shit every single day. Shinier tech stacks come in as frequent as iPhone models get released. However, if that sounds like fun to you then go out there and crush it!

[@CSJoseph]

I don’t have interest. Take your caveat elsewhere.

Ive always wanted him to be his own man and work for himself but recently he told me that he wants to get a job working for a company.

This is great advice especially because I know nothing about tech but he does so now I know where to guide him towards. Thank you

I'll become a generalist by moving to as many different roles as I can. As someone starting from scratch with no IT experience, I just need to get my foot in the door at a job that links to another job and so forth.

[@Hawkido]

If you are looking at programming focus on GUI interfaces. It doesn't matter how great your program (or your business's program) is, if the GUI sucks, your program will be a commercial failure. Scripting is also much more important now, Powershell mastery will allow you to do the work of 20 people by just executing the scripts you made while barely breaking a sweat. All microsoft products now use it on the backend and now linux and other programming interfaces are being integrated into powershell.

5 questions 1) Why do NTPs in terms of being a systematic type watch anime? Is being abstract and Ne having enough of change in the storyline and quirky animation plus some scales and few insights enough to keep them interested? recently, I've put my only ENTP friend into a situation, where he has been socially engineered, since there has been an increase of 'weebs' in our class and of course, he has noticed the trend and now is lowkey sensing the pressure of "if I don't adapt, the social circles won't accept me anymore". Before he took the stance of disliking anime (of course, hasn't watched any). 2) Is an another INFJ classmate tapping into a super ego once entering a state of being 'stoned' from marijuana a bad indication of some kind? Cuz in myself as a supposed INFJ, I tap into my ESTP subconscious ALL the time when high or drunk, tho I don't consume neither of those often but at a certain time, it used to be more for a while. 3) How to prevent philosopher types from engaging in hysteria? 4) Would or could the conjunction of the currently know Jungian analytical psychology and a deeper dive into the brain's structure, consisting out of a more so qualitative insight of what's actually happening in our minds and why is it and why it has been happening and how to change it and be further capable of post-changing our consciousness to a degree more so potentially damage humanity instead of making it greater? 5) How to get my 6'5 INTP cousin's Ni critic get some sense of responsibility, if he is trapped in an Si user environment(family) and has no space nor support for engaging in abstract topics? Mother-ISFJ, Father-ISTJ, Female 13 y.o. sister of his- INFP, 6 y.o. sister of his- ESFP for now

I've always been a generalist programmer. I know multiple languages. I was an IC, a consultant, an architect, a devops, an agile coach and currently I'm a CTO. So I can confirm: be a generalist. Watch out: have a very strong area. Mine is devops and software architecture. PS: work a lot. Focus. Get things done. Read code, a lot. Participate in open-source. Help others. Explain a lot what you know, it helps settle the knowledge so deep, that it becomes part of you. PPS: I don't agree with some of your advice, like not become a software developer or what you say about the cloud. As a generalist, learn to make architectures which are NOT locked into any specific cloud providers. PPS: the best is to write a software, make its architecture, AND the environment in which it runs (devops). THIS makes you God.

is beeing a generalist good advice for all Si-Ne users ?

[@CSJoseph]

In the sense that Si users tend to hold onto things without having to need that constant practice, yes, but that's very general and I'd dive deeper before making it a blanket career recommendation.

[@misscogito9865]

What are your thoughts about machine and deep learning as a career path for an INTP?

[@qasimimtiaz994]

Yeah, is good. I think INTPs probably be more interested in multi-agents systems.

[@ExtremeZ8]

[@HydeDaFreak]

Going to start with tech professionals have a variety of opinions and this one is mine. I think it is highly irresponsible to promote a career path so you can 'take the chair from underneath them'. Not only is this promoting insider threats that may (depending on the contracts in place) cause ungodly amounts of legal trouble but with the progression of zero trust. Will become less of a concern. Though the tech world is far from getting to the point of implementing zero trust infrastructures in any real capacity but it is the next big thing in security and you are promoting to younglings. Secondly, you say become generalists, but at the same time promote Azure over other cloud technologies. I nothing azure because I know the truth. Tech people opinions dont mean shit to what tech lives and dies. It is all up to business need. To be a generalist do not go the route of getting vendor specific certs first. Luckily there are vendor agnostic certs for cloud technology. Also want to point out that correctly written software can run on anything now. Your view on software development is just wrong. Come on, we have docker and shit. Also you can get a coding job right now with just a boot camp. Yes, they will treat you like shit for the first few years, but others will too if you just have a little A+ cert to your name. Welcome to the real world. You have to suffer to gain experience, you have to continue learning in your field to get ahead. To become a true generalist but still be specialized to get paid the big bucks. It is on you to continue your education. It can be formal or informal. But companies dont give a shit about improving you. You are just a number and increasing your value is how you get paid more through knowledge, certs whatever.
