Good choice of topic of computer science/information technology careers :-)
ReplyDeleteTwo job titles/roles not on your list are Project Manager and Systems Analyst. I fulfill both of these roles in my job ^_^
Awesome information and yes it is the hottest job market. Will be for the foreseeable future.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Another job title not on your list is Penetration testers. The guys that try to hack into computers and or programs specifically to help test the security measures implemented in programs and computers. There are 2 types of Penetration testers, Red Team, and Blue Team. Red Teams are offensive security focused. They simulate how a possible attacker would attack cybersecurity defenses. Blue Teams are defense focused. They architect and maintain the protective internal cybersecurity infrastructure.
