Things That You Should Consider While Building A
Career In Java.

• Upgrade to Java 8
• Unit Testing
• Learn new APIs and Libraries
• Spring Framework (Spring Boot)
• Design Patterns learning
• Get familiar with the JVM's Internals
• Build your technical skills
• Gain proficiency with another programming
  language
• Learn Microservices
• Soft skills

Java Overview
Java is one of the oldest yet eminent programming
language. Finding a good Java developer has
become a tedious task which is due to the fact
that all the recent software developers are
opting for python, C etc as their choice for
programming. This shortage has created a huge
demand for the right Java developers. Existing
Java developers also need to brush up their
knowledge and skills to gain benefit from this
increasing demand.

Upgrade to Java 8

• Keeping your self-updates is the need of the
  hour.
• Java 8 was released 4 years back and even Java 9
  was released half a year back and people are
  currently discussing Java 10 highlights.  
• In the present scenario, there are several
  software engineers who have not composed a single
  line of code utilizing Java 8 like lambdas and
  the Stream API.
• Shockingly, a large portion of them has
  experienced Java engineers with great 7 to 10
  years of experience added to their repertoire.
• Practically all Java development jobs currently
  require Java 8 skills, and on the off chance that
  you don't have them, it will be exceptionally
  hard to progress.

5
Unit Testing
Unit Testing

• A decent and proficient Java engineer quite often
  composes unit tests for their code.
• On the off chance that there is one regular thing
  that isolates a good Java developer from a normal
  Java engineer, it is unit testing skills.
• Testing has additionally made some amazing
  progress, with a few tools for unit testing,
  automation testing, and integration testing
  accessible to Java developers.
• The latest version (JUnit 5) is both
  ground-breaking and flexible tool that each Java
  developers must realize and make efforts to learn
  it.

6
Learn new APIs and Libraries
Training

• Java is one of the world's oldest and popular
  programming language, and there are huge amounts
  of libraries and APIs accessible which allows
  them to compose any type of code.
• On the off chance that you have worked with
  extraordinary Java developers, you may have seen
  their overall experience of APIs forms the
  foundation stone.
• Obviously, you are not expected to know every one
  of the APIs and library but rather you ought to
  be comfortable with some key APIs, for example,
  JSON handling APIs like Jackson and Gson, XML
  preparing APIs like JAXB and Xerces, and unit
  testing libraries like Mockito and JUnit.

7
Spring Framework (Spring Boot)

• Almost all organizations are shifting to Spring
  systems implementations like Spring MVC, Spring
  Boot, and Spring Cloud for building up a web
  application, REST APIs, and microservices.
• Thus, getting the idea of the Spring framework is
  an important parameter that budding Java
  developers need to keep in mind.
• It additionally promotes best practices like
  dependency injection and makes your application
  progressively easily to test, which is a key
  prerequisite for cutting edge programming.

8
Design Patterns learning

• Design Patterns learning
• Whenever you are writing code for Java
  application from the beginning then most of your
  time is consumed in writing object-oriented code
• understanding design patterns and then
  implementing the solutions for common issues
  faced based on past experience.
• By knowing and fusing the design patterns into
  your code, you can easily make your application
  more adaptable and simpler to change later on.
• It additionally improves the code quality and
  documentation on the grounds that other Java
  engineers are likewise acquainted with design
  patterns designs.
• Subsequently, they can easily understand the
  solution that you have provided and give you
  valuable feedback.

9
Get familiar with the JVM's Internals

• On the off chance that you understand the JVM
  well, you can compose strong and efficient Java
  applications.
• In the event that you are not kidding about
  turning into a respected Java engineer then its
  high time for you to start investing your energy
  in learning JVM internals
• As a major aspect of this, you ought to likewise
  figure out how to structure your Java application
  and how to discover execution bottlenecks.

10
Build your technical skills
Building technical skills is a continuous
process.

• You need willingness and the opportunity to build
  your technical skills.
• Never ever miss an opportunity to attend
  conferences about the most recent development in
  Java and hands-on training or coursework.
• See the tutorials on the demanding topics like
  minimizing code in loops to boost speed or
  reducing memory gaps..

11
Gain Proficiency With Another Programming Language

• Mere knowledge of Java wont give you cutting
  edge in this competitive market.
• Having a solid of the foundation of more than one
  programming language can upgrade your critical
  thinking capacities and make you a valuable
  asset.
• When you become familiar with another language,
  you gain the capacity to see an issue from
  different points of view, improving your
  probability of finding the perfect solution.
• Scala is one language that has gained massive
  popularity as it provides numerous advantages
  such as incorporating a decrease in verbosity and
  the usage of functional programming components.
• Since it interoperates with Java and keeps
  running on JVM, a Java developer shouldn't
  experience much difficulty in learning.

Learn Microservices
13
Conclusion
In this era of cut-throat competition, the only
mean of survival is through constantly upgrading
your knowledge and skills in line with the
demand. So all the java developers out there, it
is advisable that you keep refining your skills
to stay marketable and maintain your edge.
14
Soft skills

• Other than technical skills, Java developers must
  possess' good soft skills.
• Enhancing your interpersonal skills has numerous
  advantages.
• It enables you to easily collaborate with your
  team, providing valuable inputs, lead an idea and
  it enhances your approach towards
  problem-solving.
• Good soft skills are often desired by all
  organization so as to provide delightful customer
  service.
