Working as a Rust dev (linux.community)

What essential skills/knowledge would you say are/is required to work as a Rust dev?

I did couple of small/mediumish personal projects in Rust using axum with sea-orm and later tauri with leptos. That's on top of many years of experience working as a Java/Javascript dev and occasionally touching things like Python or Flutter. Most of things like databases and web stuff is transferable but what strictly Rust concepts are required to work as a Rust dev? In what fields it's used the most?

  1. Rust knowledge
  2. depends on which area you want to work in

I never worked on low level stuff so I think my best chance is web/desktop stuff. Any specific technologies that are getting popular in companies?

May want to look at computation, so stuff like Rayon. We almost built a compute-heavy part of our web-app in Rust (rest is in Python), and I'd guess a lot of others do the same.
