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.
