I have a Physical science degree with Computer science. But recently I got my job in GIS field. Now I know how to use ArcMap for analyze data. I don’t have a clear idea how can I build my career path. I would like to do online analyzing job as well. So could you please advise me how can I build my career path?

I’m getting my feet wet with CSS/SASS/HTML pending landing a front end dev role. Then I’ll pickup Javascript then Python along the way.

I began as a GIS technician, then progressed through the years. Many developers are self-taught these days. It depends on your personality and aptitude to learn new things.

My personal opinion: Start playing around with one of the ArcGIS APIs (The JavaScript one is fairly easy to start). Then start creating things, put some open source content on GitHub, and you will slowly develop a portfolio to show potential employers.

Good development practices, as well as GIS skills, can come from lots of repetition. Apply yourself, repeat each concept 20-50 times, get to know a couple languages (JavaScript and Python are very applicable to GIS development), and you will be on your way.

I do not not have the background or experience. I have a degree in Geography and I am a GIS Analyst. Do I need to take courses to gain experience in order to be hired for a GIS Developer job.

Thanks
