If your choice of career is to become machine learning engineer or an application development analyst, your skill set may be in high demand as these technology jobs are trending with the fastest growth rate and are rated among top 10 for professionals in India, LinkedIn global professional network site said on Thursday.
As per the “Top 10 Emerging Jobs in India” report, the period between the year 2013 and 2017 has seen the role of machines learning engineer registering a whopping 43 times higher growth rate and an application development analyst’s role was at 32 times high growth rate.
In the interesting thing is that the list is dominated by technology roles, but notably, they are no longer specifically associated with tech companies.
They are plenty of jobs across varied sectors ranging from pharma to banking and even in retail and all these companies in various industries look for talent in these tech roles, according to the Microsoft-owned LinkedIn which has got more than 50 million members in India.
“India’s indigenous tech talent has taken several global tech giants to success; hence it is no surprise that India’s top 5 emerging jobs orbit around technology and core technical skills across sectors,” Feon Ang, VP – Asia Pacific, LinkedIn Talent, and Learning Solutions, said in a statement.
In addition to that, soft skills are looked upon as high in demand skills and are becoming more critical to success in the technology age.
“Customer Success Manager (CSM),” ranked as the sixth emerging job in India, for both tech firms and non-tech firms, is critical to help onboard, influence, and retain customers, and soft skills such as communications and relationship-building play a key role here in making their customers successful.
“It is interesting to observe that soft skills such as relationship building and customer management are equally relevant for jobs of tomorrow — the rise of the CSM as a top emerging job in Asia-Pacific is a key example of this trend,” Ang said.
