Edureka Career Guide — A Roadmap To Top Technology Jobs
The year 2019 is undoubtedly the year of the technology revolution. With multiple industries adopting new contemporary technologies, it is no doubt that the advancement of technology is going to happen at a fast rate. Also, as we are approaching towards the second quarter of the year 2019, it’s high-time for technology professionals to take complete charge of their career paths to bag their dream career.
But, as rosy as this may sound, it’s an accepted fact that there is a looming gap between the industry demands and the skills acquired by the professionals.
After all, it all comes to just one important question for every upskilling professional!
What am I? ……………to………….What I want to become?
Well, to help you find an answer to this question, we conducted a survey to understand the motivations of technology professionals to seek some booming job titles with high pay.
Our survey results showed that the primary motivation to seek jobs in future technologies is improving the quality of their work and projects.
Getting promoted to a better position at work and bagging a bigger paycheck are the other prominent reasons which have an influence on their desire to upgrade to in-demand technology careers.
Also, as you can see from the below image, natural progression from their current roles, fear of redundancy, influence by peers was also quoted as reasons by technology professionals to move to in-demand technologies.
Apart from this, one more question that comes on to mind is
How many people actually knew how to bag their dream job?
Well, when we asked the same question to our survey participants, a little more than 51% of them said that they don’t know how to bag their dream job, 48.6% said they do know how to bag the job they were aspiring for.
This made us realize, that every technology professional wants a lucrative and rewarding job profile in a trending technology but more than half of them do not know how to achieve it.
The third part of our survey included was professionals skill-ready for their dream job.
As you can refer from the above chart it made it clear for all of us that almost 69% percent are currently up-skilling themselves. So, it can be clearly said that the need to up-skill for jobs of the future is high enough among the IT workforce, but they are lacking a clear roadmap and learning path to the job roles of their dreams.
