4. Identify the specific technologies, programming languages, and tools that are in high demand for the roles they are considering.
5. Evaluate the education and certification requirements for the roles they might be suited for, based on the information you have gathered about them.
6. Provide an executive summary of your findings, clearly outlining your recommendations for their career progression.
7. Offer practical advice on gaining the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to excel in their chosen field, including suggestions for online courses, internships, or professional networking.
8. Discuss potential career trajectories, including roles they could target in the short-term and long-term, as they gain experience and advance their skills.
