There are several ways to stay up to date:
- Start going to interviews for practice. This will help sharpen your interview skills and prepare you for tricky questions from HR and hiring managers when the time comes.
- It also gives you insight into what skill sets are currently in demand and how well they’re being paid.
- Plus, it helps expand your network with recruiters, HR professionals, and Talent Managers, which could be beneficial in the long run.
If the idea of interviewing ‘just for practice’ doesn’t appeal to you, you could subscribe to relevant platforms where you can keep an eye on job openings in your field (many job listings also mention salary ranges). You can also study salary reports from InGame Job and Values Value.
Stay in touch with colleagues in the industry, especially those who are currently job hunting, and ask them what they’re being asked in interviews and what offers they’re getting.
Lastly, attend industry conferences. This not only expands your network but also helps you learn what’s in demand in the job market right now.
