Re-evaluating Your Skills for a Post COVID World

COVID-19 has disrupted everyday life in every aspect, especially in Alberta’s fragile economic landscape, however this is not to say that it is impossible to create value for yourself in the new post COVID-19 world. There are many new opportunities in the new economic landscape, with the vast majority being in technology. COVID-19 has accelerated the rate in which everyday life is digitized. Work and school from home is the new normal in many countries including the United States and Canada, and technology is the enabler.

At the start of the March 2020 quarantine, Zoom had quite a bit of downtime because they had a significant amount of new traffic they were not expecting. Since then, they as well as many other SaaS and cloud computing companies have been scrambling to create more infrastructure to handle the load, and solve problems created by the pandemic.
