Skills that IT guys must pick up to earn fat pay cheques
Terms like R, Julia, Hadoop, Scrum Master and DevOps may sound alien to most readers of TOI, but companies are looking for these hot skills. A youngster who has learnt \'R\' a popular programming language used for statistical computing to derive insights from data gets an average salary of Rs 8 lakh, according to data from Simplilearn, an online education provider of professional certification train
BENGALURU: If you have some of the new-age tech skills, you may land a job much faster and also get phenomenal salary packages.
Terms like R, Julia, Hadoop, Scrum Master and DevOps may sound alien to most readers of TOI, but companies are looking for these hot skills. A youngster who has learnt 'R' a popular programming language used for statistical computing to derive insights from data gets an average salary of Rs 8 lakh, according to data from Simplilearn, an online education provider of professional certification training.
A mobile app developer or a Hadoop developer (Hadoop is a programming framework that supports the processing of large amounts of data in a widely distributed computing environment) can also get a similar salary .
Age is not a factor here. It depends on whether you have picked up the skills. In comparison, the average salary for a regular fresher in an IT company is Rs 3.5 lakh. These skills reflect the big shifts in the kind of soft ware being used inside large firms today , thanks to the dramatic increase in mobile devices, the humongous increase in digital data, the need to analyze this data, and the phenomenon called cloud computing use of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.
Added to this is emergence of what is called the internet-ofthings — the trend to get everyday objects, be it a toaster, fridge, light fitting or an industrial machine, to communicate their status with remote computers or smartphones or even with one another.
"These are deep technology shifts changing the game for businesses. Five years ago, Java, C++ were soughtafter skills, but IT companies are today looking at diversity in their tech talent pool to im prove business conversation with their customers," said Kashyap Dalal, chief product officer in Simplilearn.
Sachin Gupta, co-founder of online programming plat form HackerEarth, said R provides a very good way to quickly prototype and visualize data. "Its powerful libraries in statistics and mathematics give a lot of power to data scientists to quickly manipulate data. Julia, which started as a scientific computing language, is gaining traction in the data sciences domain.Python, a programming language for data sciences, continues to be the language of choice after R because of its versatility ," he said.
Dalal said a Hadoop skill set will get a developer 25% higher compensation compared to just having a Java skill set. An iOS developer can expect higher salaries than an Android developer, partly because such skills are in short circulation.Gupta's data showed an iOS developer with 2-4 years of experience gets paid between Rs 12.5 lakh and Rs 25 lakh, while an Android developer with similar experience gets paid Rs 15 lakh to Rs 18 lakh.
Gupta said there's a lot of demand for full-stack developers, the supercoders who understand database programming, has knowledge of HTML, CSS (which describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen) and JavaScript and have experience in cloud deployment solutions like AWS.
