The tech industry is massive and is now worth more than 700 billion US dollars globally, twice as much in 2007.
The advent of big data has shifted us into the information age, symbolizing the highest traded commodity in the world. From media to advertising, the tech has warped huge job opportunities.
Taiwan based OEM Component Manufacturer, Foxconn has nearly 1.3 million employees, while the rest of the tech giants average at six digits.
The global average tech salary has gone up to $85,619 per year and tech unemployment has gone down to 3.8 percent.
However, it may be a challenge to pick one of the many jobs the industry can offer. Let’s look at top 6 emerging careers in tech for the year 2016.
Cognitive computing simulates human behaviors through computational mathematics.
Siri, Google Now, Cortana, are all by products of cognitive engineering.
The field expands all the way to artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and computational algorithms.
A cognitive engineer will also work with big data, data mining and virtual reality (VR).
The application of cognitive computing covers gaming, sports, medical science, and manufacturing.
This is all about cryptocurrencies and blockchains are encrypted secure database that stores their transactions.
With the epic rise in Bitcoin price of the years, and the emergence of many other cryptocurrencies, the field has been more established than ever.
Many merchants have started accepting Bitcoins as payment method and there are Bitcoin ATMs now.
There are only a handful of blockchain engineers, who handles the decentralized architecture of cryptocurrencies, and we expect exponential market growth in near future.
It’s hard to overlook the sudden leap in mobile technologies.
Famously, smartphone’s Android and iOS make up almost all mobile traffic these days, and Google and Apple have taken great effort to provide better tools for mobile apps developers.
Flexible by nature, you can choose to freelance, work for a company, or setup a Silicon Valley style startup.
Venture capitalists have been largely focusing on mobile apps, and there is an ever ready market to publish your apps globally, instantly.
From a button click on a website, to swiping people on Tinder, the digital world relies on interactions heavily.
Interaction designers (Ixd) work closely with user experience and user interface designers. Basic requirements include ability to code and design, and the field has now expanded to enhancing support for disabled people and medical procedures.
Many current interaction designers were previously graphic or product designers.
5. Data Scientist The biggest asset and core revenue of tech giants like Facebook, Google and Amazon, is big data.
A data scientist is a detail oriented person, finding way to organize and visualize big data better. They will decide starting points and end nodes on a database or design the information architecture all together.
An efficient database is valuable and increases platform performance greatly. This is fairly a new job scope, but big data is definitely on the rise.
6. Project Manager A different type of PM, project managers are crucial when dealing with large scale projects.
Such projects would include developers, designers, testers, and debuggers, on a single deadline. Project managers make sure the flow of project is maintained, and remove any distractions from the team.
PM’s usually won’t do any technical work, but are great to translate errors to English, to be understood by the boss.
While version control systems like Github handles the development and technical data, PMs deal with the people.
