Hi, I have about 2 years experience in SEO and recently I have been thinking about a career. I will try to be very brief and factual so as not to waste a lot of your time.

I would like to ask about what profession you would recommend to me after SEO as exactly a logical career transition? (so that I don't start as a beginner in a certain field, but on the contrary improve my salary and career with this transition, while keeping some seo skills).

It is very important to me that it was a logical career transition as I described above + that there was a minimum dependence on a foreign language (so that there are a lot of jobs where only English will suffice, for example, as in programming). I really hope to hear your answers, because this topic already makes me a bit nervous.

If you have an example from your own personal life and such a career transition - I'd be very happy to read and hear your advice.

Seo is not a career for most of us here. Most work for themselves or with a team on contract, VAs. I don't think there are many who got a "salary job" here as a seo.
After seo 2024 you might as well try to get a regular career 9 to 5 job. In that case I don't think you will get good career advice here. Sorry to break the expectation, but it needs to be set correct. This is the 1st thing you want to do when trying to build your career.

thank you, but I think It's not exactly a technical speciality, but the fact that the field is AI and the companies are global - I definitely like it
 
There are definitely jobs out there for SEO. SMM would be good too. Or you could get your own clients if you:

When you say 2 years of experience in SEO, what exactly did you do? Most of us here do everything from keyword research, website setup, on page, topical maps, content marketing, outreach, building PBNs, CRO, technical SEO etc. However, there is always something that you specialize in or instinctively lean towards more.

You won't get a good answer until you are more specific. As far as pivoting, there are a few different things you can do:

If your strength was content creation you can try your hand at being a copywriter, it is a different skill but there are parallels. I personally would never go for this because of all the AI that's out there but it's never going to be as good as a skilled copywriter.

If setting up websites and troubleshooting technical issues is your thing then web / app development is something worth looking into.

If you were on point with keyword research, backlink analysis, and google analytics, look into Data Analysis, it has a lot of growth potential (this is what I do for a 9 to 5).

There are plenty of other options as well. Do some soul searching and narrow it down to what aspect of SEO you enjoyed the most, then go from there.

Good Luck!

I really like your constructive response! The closest thing for me is google analytics, keyword research and backlinks! Do you work specifically as a data analyst? Or is it some more specialised area like web analytics? I'd be interested to hear about your transition. Was it a logical one in terms of career (here I mean, did you not become a djun in analytics after working as an SEO specialist)?

I lead a team of analysts, I have been doing this for 10+ years. I worked in a bunch of different domains, so you can pick one that you like and go from there. Learn some Excel, SQL (queries only), Visualization (Power BI or Tableau), and Python (Pandas). That should be more than enough.
