// My Story
I am currently a software developer who once modeled and thought I wanted to pursue a career in the fashion industry. While I was modeling in Hong Kong, I eventually felt the desire to further my education. I decided to depart the modeling world and move back to Canada, knowing that could be the end of my modeling opportunities. I attended Ryerson University for GCM (Graphic Communications Management), as I thought I might still work in the fashion industry in another capacity. It was in my last year of university, I was introduced to a very basic coding course. I instantly fell in love. From there I knew I wanted to pursue software development but didn't have a clue where to start. I didn't want to go back to university as I just completed a four-year degree. I decided to enroll in a 10-week intensive coding Bootcamp. From there I started working at a small startup learning and growing my technical and soft skills. I then transitioned to a larger company where I am a software developer and technical consultant today.

5 Skills are AI, AR, Cloud Computing, Data Science and Blockchain. My top 5 as a IT Professional working in Cloud Computing and Studying Cyber Security are 1. Linux, 2. Cloud Computing, 3. Cyber Security, 4. Development - start with Python and 5. AI. There are a lot of top 5 skills lists and I am not saying Tiff is wrong I'm just saying we all have different opinions and as someone working in IT this is mine.

I got my data analytics cert a few months ago, it's not hard at all!! If you're poor, this could change your life. Data analyst jobs are 60k+ entry level and this field is growing every year. The demand for data analysts is expected to grow 125% in the next five years. If you're interested, I suggest you start studying Excel and SQL (cleaning the data) PowerBi (visualization) and giving explanations of your findings. That's literally all you need to find a job.

[@batshevabecher5848]

Thanks for the insight. Where did you get your certification from?

[@JSmithRecords]

@@batshevabecher5848 ibm data analytics professional certification from Coursera. But tbh you don't even need a certification, that's just icing on the resume. As long as you know the skills you'll be good.

[@vivekjoshi3769]

This is region specific tbh. In regions highly populated, people face a lot of competition because job postings require a lot of skills which they put to filter people skilled in most things. Most jobs have Python/R in the listings & then some even list Data Warehouse, ETL & ML modelling. It's easier to say "if you are poor, this could change life" despite the fact that maximum poor population are from third world countries where the competition is heck strong that IT sector is too saturated. The country where I am from has more than lakhs of people upskilled in Data Analytics and struggling to get their first job as data analyst.

[@JSmithRecords]

@@vivekjoshi3769 if they're asking for extra things (etl, machine learning, data warehouse etc) that's not a data analyst position. That's a data engineering position listed as data analyst so they can pay you less. Entry level data analyst, you just need to know excel, sql, and powerbi/tableu. Python is a plus. That's it.

I'm not a data analyst, but I suddenly found myself in a position where I was asked to create PowerBI reports from SQL data. I think this is happening more frequently. Even if something isn't part of your job, I'd say learn as much as you can because silos come down and roles are more fluid than ever, often requiring skills beyond your job description.

Skills I never see brought up that I think is worth adding is project management and general interpersonal communication. My company (most companies for that matter) is not some fancy high tech company with a huge revenue. It's a relatively small retail/wholesale business that runs on legacy CRUD projects with some complex business flows depending on the process. We don't have project managers so the developers have to do everything, including the frustrating parts of project management. Depending on my workload I would end up doing more project management than actual development. I would say those soft skills were the most meaningful skills I've obtained since graduating college almost five years ago. But the downside is that my technical skills have been stagnant the last three years so I feel very left behind.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the "hot" skills are. IT is a truly cavernous profession, the demand for it is practically endless. Learn whatever you enjoy, whatever you're passionate about, and you'll find plenty of work for it. Practically every store and business is hiring. There is a shortage of truckers, firefighters, cops, airline pilots, chefs, software developers, you name it. The main problem is inflation and the cost of living crisis, but the actual work is abundant. My personal thing that I enjoy is cybersecurity, so that's my focus. Good luck to all of you, I'm sure you'll be making scads of money in whatever you choose.
