"These are actually two questions in one because you can fade to irrelevance even if you work in the office, so what you need to consider is both: 1) staying relevant; and 2) staying visible so others realize how relevant you are. Why Relevance Is Critical In The Current Job Market Today's job market is uncertain and competitive -- even once-forever government jobs aren't safe. Staying relevant means that your employer needs you, which improves your negotiation leverage, promotion opportunities and overall job security."
"Staying relevant means that your employer needs you, which improves your negotiation leverage, promotion opportunities and overall job security. Be indispensable Have skills that are prized in your company (which probably means gaining expertise and experience in AI). Work on clients and projects that align with what senior leadership cares about - ask your manager if you're not sure. Make your manager look good, so they'll prioritize keeping you around."
Staying relevant and visible requires being valuable to the employer and ensuring others recognize that value. Job security and advancement depend on being needed through prized skills and strategic project choices. Developing expertise—particularly in AI—and working on clients or projects that senior leadership cares about increases indispensability. Visibility grows by expanding internal networks, communicating achievements, and making sure colleagues benefit from and know about contributions. Likeability and personal connections influence retention; friendly interactions and knowing coworkers at a personal level help. Making managers look good increases prioritization for retention. Remote work requires deliberate actions to demonstrate value and sustain relationships.
