I just wanted to share an IRC channel for all things GIS related. Of course this channel isn't official in any way but just thought IRC is a great platform to share here. This IRC network has mostly opensource contributors and those who come from a computer science/IT background but GIS professionals and folks interested in GIS are more than welcome to join.
For those interested:
main website: https://ouch.chat
IRC channel: #gis
Can't help thinking about this every time we talk about Experience Builder.....
I’m curious—if you’ve pivoted from GIS into another field, what made you decide to do it, and how did you actually make the transition?
For example, did you take on any internships, volunteering opportunities, courses, projects, or other experiences that helped you get into the new field? And how did you deal with the “you need previous experience in this field” requirement when applying for your first opportunities outside GIS?
PS: some more questions here;
What made you leave GIS?
Are you satisfied/happy about the decision?
