Here’s one TRICK they don’t want you to know: Work your way up in a government organization or monolithic corporation run by boomer capitalists to the director level in any department, network and politic your way around the c-suite and you can get the job as cybersecurity director or even CSIO! Your subordinates will disrespect and hate you, but what do those ****ing nerds know? Trick also applies to hot ‘senior administrative assistants’ who don’t wear bras.
What are the other HOT areas of I.T.? CyberSecurity Cloud Apps and Dev Networking Admin is always a need to an extent Is SAP Still what's happening in them I.T. Streets? Rocket River
Learn to Code ??? Profit ??? Cybersecurity Jerb https://www.semiconductors.org/amer...onductor-industry-and-throughout-u-s-economy/ Prompt engineer...mostly hype and more a stepping stone to learn other areas without college degree/accreditation or to jumpstart cert collection Machine learning/AI...you can jump in with a beefy gaming computer or M class macbook with 32gb ram. Mobile Apps are becoming easier to make over time. If you like stats or have a math degree, data science is getting sucked up into ML. Companies pay very well for good data, but it's not glamorous. With most of the technical stuff, building up a portfolio is almost required if you're planning to walk in the front door without much experience. It's not a lifestyle for many people, but it's all related with being good with computers and learning how to work and with others in that environment.
Prompt Engineer always sounds so . . . .. made up. Like it's not a real thing I do see alot of people talking about ML / AI training. Still been trying to get a handle on what exactly Data Scientist actually do Rocket River
Lol well, yes and no. If you learn how to do some coding, it does help in landing SOME cyber jobs. But it's a smaller part of the equation.
Half the titles in modern organizations sound made-up, don't knock it and just make up your own : https://blog.ongig.com/job-titles/funny-job-titles/
There was a time when "software engineer" was a made-up thing (it still is to some people). I'm not sure I think "prompt engineer" is as bad as some of the "C-Suite" goofy titles. Even banks with their 500 "vice presidents" in their software divisions are stupid. When we used to see that mess on resumes, we'd have to double check to see what they were vice presidenting. lol. I used to work for a huge fiber/networking company during the Dot Com bubble that seemed to promote everybody to a "Manager" title. Manager I, Manager II, Manager III, etc. We actually had one lady who was promoted to a "Manager IV" who had no one reporting to her. I had to shake my head. This was also the same company who I saw had a "networking guy" running around not really doing anything all day. I got to be friends with management there, so I tried to ask in a polite way what he was doing that day because I may need his help. The director said "I know what you're thinking. We think he's valuable because every 6 months or so he comes up with a great idea!" I thought I had walked into a Dilbert cartoon.
There were some prompt engineer job ads that grew viral a year or two ago, but it looks more and more like a skillset people use in their original job. A lot of prompts are copy/paste jobs that will change or won't be needed as the chatbot gets better and faster.
