there are so many in demand entry-level tech jobs that are coming onto the scene and in
today's video I'm going to share with you what these roles are what they are paying and what
skills are really required oh and also too what other courses you should be taking to get
these skills I did a lot of research for this video for the main reason of I am as you know
fascinated with what is coming up especially can you believe that 20124 is like 8 weeks away how
did that happen we need to be focusing on what do we want to be looking for in the new year when it
comes to our roles our careers and this will help guide you on the note of upskilling I want to say
a huge thank you to code academy who sponsored this video and even more so is giving back to
you they are offering listen closely here they are offering one month free of code academy Pro
for the first 300 people who use the link in my description so go sign up today because you need
to level up for 20124 we are taking our careers to the next level and by learning online through
the comfort of your home I mean I mean that's a win-win if you ask me all right let's get into
it coming in at number 10 is web developer and this is a great place to start your career if
you are someone who is leaning to more of the technical side versus going into the product
management side or soft skill side I think this is such a great place to start your career because
it will teach you so much about the foundations when it comes to development that you can then
take it and go in so many different directions whether it be software engineering whether it
be more a front end or uiux design it really can help you set that Foundation to Branch off
into different directions now I always refer to levels FYI for compensation and it's because it
is accurate what it does is it actually surveys people from different companies and then double
checks that as to what you should expect now this is the median compensation so this is isn't just
for juniors this is the middle ground and we're not talking about location here because you are
located everywhere throughout the world but it does give you a sense as to what you can expect
now the medium is median that's such a hard word to say by the way is 148,000 us obviously when you
are starting out in a junior role this is not what you will be getting but it is a great indicator as
to what you can work towards coming in at number nine is UI and ux researcher this individual wears
a lot of different hats and is something that I would fail at brutally by the way uh because
what it really entails which is a lot of a lot of how would you say it you're really thinking
not only about the design but you're also thinking about the of course the user experience and I feel
like I'm terrible at that the fact that I can get dressed in the morning is a task on its own I'm
just kidding but UI and ux design so what are some Concepts within that one is behavioral research or
conducting Behavioral Studies so user groups focus groups another big aspect is accessibility are the
designs you are creating accessible to everyone online levels FYI is they have 169,000 for their
their median salary or total comp I should say and this is really interesting because of course it's
not an entry-level uh accuracy but it is something to start working towards and honestly I didn't
realize that UI and ux researchers could make so much I kind of thought it was yeah I didn't know
the the compensation was so high but i' I've researched not only on levels FYI but other
resources and that is accurate coming in at number eight is Junior cyber security specialist and I
think I've spoken about cyber security and how great of a role or great of an field it really
is to get into and as AI continues to dominate the tech industry more and more cyber security
Specialists are going to be needed but here's a question that I asked myself the other day what
exactly does a cyber security Specialists do like what are three main points of responsibility all
right here you go take notes on this so point one being analyzing Network structures and testing
security measures such as software permissions and firewalls number two being ensuring the company
data remains secure by protecting it from cyber attx and this is done through various different
ways which I'll share with you in a second here and then the number three thing would be designing
and implementing data recovery plans in case of cyber attacks so not only are you ensuring the
data remains secure but you're also preparing and designing uh data recovery plans so it's there is
a lot of responsibilities cyber security even if it might not be the position you want to get into
maybe you want to get into say the web developer role or product manager role you will need it's
across the board though that cyber security knowledge is essential and it's continuing to
just go up Skyrocket in that direction all right cyber security money let's talk money what can you
expect all right for this one it was not on levels FYI so I went to glass door that is such a tongue
twister by the way cyber security specialist make all right let's see what it says for a junior role
it starts off around 82,000 us and that sounds pretty accurate if you ask me we are talking
entry level role you are going to be making a pretty good salary entering into the tech industry
coming in at number seven is product manager and for a long time I thought you had to have
years of experience before getting into product management because that's typically the career
path we used to see now though I have seen so many people after they are graduating business school
computer science depending on where they are at but both Technical and non-technical go straight
into product management roles entry-level product managers are often times shadowing more senior
level product managers that are more experienced and they are maybe taking on not as many tasks
or big projects or products on their own but rather helping out with their large or more
senior large why would they be large more senior product manager and often times they are crucial
in guiding and leading the team to success when building out a product Now product managers can
make bank they can make quite a bit of money and so much so that levels FYI is stating the median
comp to be $195,000 us we're starting out with way less than that for entry levels we're starting out
below the hundreds for entry levels the reality is but it is a good number to start working towards
next up let's go to one that doesn't require necessarily getting into the code as much per
se which is Tech sales engineer and yes some of these Tech sales Engineers might be building and
uh creating demos for their clients or solving problems as they are selling the product itself
but a lot of tech sales engineers it doesn't mean coding on a day-to-day basis but rather
understanding the technology now for course I would take on code academy for Tech sales engineer
I'd probably start out with a basic level coding course or an introduction to coding it can really
vary based on the company you work for but even more so aside from that because once again coding
is not necessarily required but that understanding of coding or how the tech works is really required
so it really vary based on company okay also too quickly for salary can't forget the salary
or compensation they didn't have this on lels FYI so I went to a company called zipia and they are
estimating around 88,000 I have to keep in mind with sales they often times we'll get a lower base
salary and this might not necessarily I'm guessing the base salary for someone whose entry level will
be even lower than what I just said for the reason of sales often times have large bonuses and really
work on what deals they are able to close that will affect their bonuses also I don't think
you can but there's a full-on marathon going on out inside my window so if you hear any like cow
bells it's cuz they're cheer people on can you hear it I'm hoping not but there you go coming
in at what number are we coming in at number five we're coming in at number five coming in at number
five is Junior iOS Developer we don't hear a ton about iOS developers as much I think as we used
to which is interesting and I think the reason is because a lot of us right now well I don't really
know why but it's still very in demand when I was doing research as far as how the industry
is hiring for it where it is at it is continuing to rise up and up up up up now because this role
is still so in demand the salary reflects that 182,000 is a median comp for iOS salary and one
of the thing is this salary I think will continue to vary based on company location you know the
drill but it's definitely a number to work towards you know this list would not be complete I mean
we couldn't even do this list if I didn't list this next one because it is still I would say the
most trendiest job title and I always get asked about it you know what it is what is it say it
for me data scientist of course this is still such a trendy and you know rightfully so it's
still very in demand I do see other roles though that we will talk about coming up which might be
taking the spot for number one but data science is still so in demand we often hear this term
data scientist data scientist but what does a data scientist even do in simple terms let's let's list
off like three main or three key points this is not three I don't know where this came from let's
list off three main points first one being data collecting and cleaning so collecting importing
and cleaning data to ensure accuracy which is so important completeness and uniformity making sure
essentially that this data is things that we can then actually lean on to lean on lean on to the
next one is exploratory data analysis or Eda and this is conducting exploratory data analysis to
understand the characteristics and distributions of the data the third one being let's visualize
this data data visualiz ization conducting uh or creating visualizations to represent data
Trends distributions and relationships among the variables now let's get to the good part salary I
mean that's why we all want to be a data scientist right I'm just kidding all right levels FYI this
is not necessarily entry level position but let's go in with the medium total comp in the US and
this is think of this as something to work towards which is 160,000 K I mean that's great that sounds
like a nice number if you ask me coming at number three is cloud computing this is an area we've
seen really burst into the scene quite a few years ago I would say 3 to four years ago obviously it
was around long before that but that was really when it went from going up to all of a sudden
like peeking and everyone started realizing how important the cloud is for entry level salaries
for cloud computing roles I they didn't have it on levels FYI so I went on to zip recruiter which
is a recruiting company and the entrylevel cloud computing salary in the US I don't I don't know
if this is accurate it says it's 118,000 yeah that makes sense 118,000 us per year so this is a rle
at entry level you can get in just below a 100 or just above a 100 which I mean is great if you ask
me coming in at number two is something that some of you might say is a mythical unicorn or I guess
unicorn on its own is mythical so we don't need to say it's Mythic you go what I'm saying a lot
of you don't even a lot of people in the tech industry like this role isn't real however why
is it coming at number two because it is one of the most in demand jobs still so it is real but
we just need to set our expectations accordingly what do you think I'm talking about this is full
stack developer full stack developer full stack engineer you are someone who is not only able to
build with the front end but also build back end and also understand system design I mean the list
can go on as to your responsibilities the the one of the most in demand roles companies are
hiring for because a lot of companies don't have the funds to hire for both a front end
back in developer if they're starting out so they're going to pay even more money but for
one individual all right but it costs less to hire than one individual than two you get what
I'm saying on levels FYI for median comp the total is 149,000 once again not entry level
but something to work towards and I've seen the salary go up way higher than this as well coming
in at number one you know what this entails number one is AI engineer of course it is of course it's
something with AI right now I mean it would be inaccurate if it wasn't AI is everywhere bursting
onto the scene and there are so many entrylevel roles with AI that are available today because of
how quickly it is moving the roles or the people to fill these roles are not able to keep up what
does exactly an AI engineer do like what does it really consist of here are three things one is
designing developing and optimizing machine learning models another is implementing AI
solutions to meet the business needs and number three would be working with data scientists and
other stakeholders to ensure the AI Solutions are implemented effectively this role can vary
greatly based on company to company but those are three kind of good pillars to focus in on now I
went back to zip recruiter for this salary for the entry level AI engineer salary it's around 62,000
per year and you might be saying well Tiff why is this number one then if it's not the highest
paying salary because it might not be number one in salary but in demand as far as skills go and
where the salary will go it is number one that's why I put it as number one but at the end of the
day all of these roles have so much opportunity for you to really start your career in and just
take off we always talk about talk Tech as an industry which it is but Tech touches every
industry and it's not going anywhere ever this is probably in my opinion the most secure industry
you can get into if you really want to grow and have a successful career now maybe I'm biased cuz
I work in Tech but I just I don't know the data and the numbers are there okay hi friends I'm
coming to you from the future well when you watch this it will be the past but I was going through
this video and I realized I need to share with you some incredible resources to help you get these
kind of roles get into these positions we talk a lot about what positions are in demand what jobs
are in demand but how do you level up how do you upscale to get into them this is something when I
was first learning to code and even now working in the tech industry for almost 7 years I still face
where to go well I know where to go but upskilling is a forever thing so I thought I'd share with
you some courses on code academy that will help you level up specifically one around full stack
engineering because that really can touch multiple roles with different facets of it and then also to
the other one around AI let's start with fullstack Engineering also to fun fact code academy was one
of the first resources I used when I was learning to code so shout out to code academy for helping
me land my first job and then continue to level up all right on screen here we have their full stack
engineer course and this will include JavaScript node SQL Express react test driven development
and more and one of my favorite things about not only this course but a lot of different learning
paths that they have to offer is that they offer a certification you can put this on your resume that
you have a certification in full stack engineering not to mention it doesn't hurt that the salary
that they have here for average salary is 120 sounds pretty good to me that's supposed to be
a chef's kisss you know what I mean the Emoji all right so this starts with from beginner
and you will work your way down so this is really incredible they say time to complete is around 6
months and you can do this with zero prerequisites if you are someone who wants to learn how to code
become a full stock developer this course is for you all right the other one because I came
in at number one we have to do something around AI engineer this is something that I haven't actually
started taking this course yet but I think it will be the next course I take mainly because
my next role will not be in AI engineering but as a developer and someone who always likes to
build it's so relevant today and I'm just really fascinated and curious about it so I think this
will be my next uh course I take so if you're taking it let me know in the comments and this
takes about 4 months to complete certification check mark yes and prerequisites none so this
is another amazing course I really like how to they are really focusing on trending Technologies
python machine learning they go into pandas get bash it's really covers the full spectrum so when
you are done this course you feel really prepared to take on that next step in your career or go
to apply to different jobs that you might want what whatever the case may be all right I hope
you enjoyed this video and leave it feeling really inspired as to where your career can go what roles
