Some of the jobs we are doing today never existed till 10 years ago and we even do not know what is likely to happen in the coming 10 years from now in the industry scenario in which we are working in today. We don't know what the future will bring to us but we know that it will bring changes for sure. That means the job we are doing today could be different or even not exist in the coming years.

1. 5 smart ways to prepare for future growth
Some of the jobs we are doing today never existed till 10 years ago
and we even do not know what is likely to happen in the coming 10
years from now in the industry scenario in which we are working in
today. We don't know what the future will bring to us but we know
that it will bring changes for sure. That means the job we are doing
today could be different or even not exist in the coming years.
To cope up with the future changes, we need to upgrade or change
our skills. If you "fall behind the time", then you will have to
struggle to sustain the changes. With some strategies and planning,
you can blend with the changing future successfully.
Embrace the change:
One thing we need to learn from pandemics is to be always ready to
embrace the change. Even though it is hard to change the old habit,
we can easily start with a new habit. We should always be ready to
accept the changes and be attentive to the new opportunities. One

2. year ago, remote working was a fantasy but now most of the
companies are accepting it even in the post Covid-19 scenario.
Be tech-savvy:
Every year we see many new inventions in technology and even in
the future, it is only going to upgrade itself. You should always keep
your technical knowledge and skills up-to-date, even if it is not
directly concerned with your current job profile. We cannot even
think right now what kind of new opportunities will emerge in the
times to come. Just like 10 years ago we cannot think that there will
be a job for a social media manager.
That means if you can learn new skills such as coding, wearable
technology or AI then you should go for it. It will only add value and
benefit to your portfolio.
Be financially literate:
Only 17 percent of citizens from Maharashtra, 32 percent
of citizens from Delhi, 21 percent of citizens from West
Bengal and 13 percent of citizens from Punjab are financially
literate. Overall only 24 per cent of the Indian population is
financially literate. Developing countries are not much better off, it
is a global problem. Today the concept of budgeting is alien to many
millennials and even older people. To secure a future we need to be
financially literate and we must include financial literacy in our
school curriculum.
Invest wisely:
Estimate says you need at least 1 billion dollars to retire if you want
to live for 30 years without working. The key to it is not to save
aimlessly but to make smart investments.

3. For e.g., if you are worried about future medical expenses,
you should take life insurance that includes medical
covers.
For that, you need to start early, diversify your portfolio, divide your
goals into short term and long term goals.
Expand your verticals globally: Remote working and flexible work
timings has opened up opportunities for you to work
internationally. Look beyond and find out about the opportunities
beyond borders related to your sector. Be open-minded to new
technology and attitude. Businesses now are more globally and
culturally diverse, than ever before and your clients, colleagues or
stakeholders can be from different parts of the world.
You can embrace your abilities to work globally through working in
diverse cultures. You should look for assignments that require
international exposure and connections.
Just keep in mind that the future is going to bring opportunities
that are unexpected or beyond our thinking, by taking steps today
you can prepare yourself for the future.
