SP Jain School of Global Management’s alumnus Vivek Kannan, who started his MGB-SCM in 2013, had an extremely promising career right from 2011. Working at Mu Sigma, Bangalore, he was a part of a team that handled analytics based projects for Walmart. It is during this tenure that he realised that his interests lay in the fields of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Logistics. It was only natural, then, that Vivek decided to join SP Jain, after hearing about the SCM specialisation course. “This course seemed like the perfect place for me to hone my skills and also obtain a global exposure, as I would be a part of SP Jain’s tri-city model.” Vivek warmly states.

The tech sector offers some of the best-paying jobs, no discussions here. Various research agencies bring out average yearly salaries data like these: Software Architect – $120,000; Data Scientist – $110,000; Software Engineer / Java Developer / Mobile Developer – $98,000; and so on. These surface researches that utilise data from job postings hardly reflect details behind the high paying tech jobs and related figures. Many roles are not purely technical but are grouped into technical roles listing. Companies are hiring pre-post sales engineers along with other IT workers at a frantic pace. Some of the high in-demand positions are related to Cybersecurity, R, Julia, Hadoop, Scrum Master, DevOps, SAP HANA, Cassandra, Cloudera, OpenStack, CloudStack, Oculus, Chef, Pig, MapReduce, Puppet, the list is endless. These new-age skills reflect the shift from large firm’s software to mobile devices, cloud computing, and remote servers hosting. There might be temporary intrinsic trends like a Hadoop skilled will get higher compensation than Java or an iOS developer gets higher salaries than an Android developer. These intrinsic trends are mere demand and supply impact over a short time period.
