It may come as no surprise that technology-centric roles stole the show among emerging jobs in the United States, but the prevalence of machine learning and data science roles and skills indicate a shift in the types of technology we can expect to be using in the near future, as well as what professionals should be preparing themselves for.
Having an academic background and a comprehensive suite of skills were also strong trends, especially among professionals who are now machine learning engineers and data scientists. Both of these roles are also often held by professionals with 10 years or more of professional experience, so for those just starting out and having trouble landing one of these titles, don’t be discouraged!
It’s always a good reminder that soft skills will always be important, no matter the profession. The ability to collaborate, be a leader, and learn from colleagues will stand out in interviews, and even more once starting a job.
WHY IT MATTERS: so true, integration should become the primary focus when choosing a product. Every vendor now has a marketplace of pre-built integrations (hubspot has 1000+ it seems). So, integration is easy.
But there are caveats: where is the master data if you have multiple solutions? I fear this post does not provide an answer for this, I find, is the major long-term issue.
