10,000+ IoT jobs---can you believe that? That's not my number; I found it on Google as I was researching an article for element14. And Google, of course, pointed me to none other than LinkedIn.
10,000 of any kind of jobs is a lot of jobs.
Hmm...my first thought was: why aren't they filled?
Made me curious.
I scrolled through some of them: solution architects, node.js, IoT data engineers, NB-IoT program managers, field engineers, cloud consultants, ASIC/MEMS engineers--- the list of jobs were endless. It would take me weeks to read all of them. I peeked into one of them for an IoT Consultant. It said:
Preferred Additional Skills
- Experience with requirements engineering, project management, and technical documentation
- Experience with prototyping platforms (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry PI), sensors and electronics
- Be comfortable presenting technical topics
LOL. (Excuse my outburst.) But that sounds like a lot of element14 members!
Well, here's what I think: there are plenty of opportunities out there for tech people in IoT. If you want to really take advantage of them, then join me on October 10th as I host element14's first IoT Careers Webinar:
How To Start and Grow Your IoT Career Featuring Microchip Technology Inc and The Things Network
I will be discussing IoT Careers, Skills and Opportunities with two leading companies in this space: Microchip Corporation and The Things Network.
Hope to See you there!
