You might be well aware that January is a big month in sports transfers, with the football transfer window opening at the start of the month for clubs in England and Scotland. But what you might not know is that January is equally as good for the rest of the population when it comes to getting a new job.
These are the best Tech jobs for 2023
Right now, and on into February, is a great time to look for a new job. A new year means fresh vigour around hiring for vacant roles, new budgets mean new hires are possible––and there is usually a glut of roles needing to be filled post-Christmas as year-long projects wind up, bonuses are paid and workers go elsewhere – writes Kirstie McDermott, Senior Content Manager, Amply.
Hot sectors
So what are the jobs that are tipped for tech success in 2023? Cybersecurity is one sector where demand far outstrips supply. A global shortage of 3.4 million cybersecurity workers means 43% of organisations are struggling to find and hire the right talent.
The success of Meta’s Quest 2 VR headset last year (the app for which was downloaded 27% more times than in 2021), has showcased the increasing importance of the augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) fields.
These more immersive and interactive methods of communication are on the cusp of exploding into the mainstream. There will be 1.4 billion mobile AR users worldwide by 2023, up one billion from the 44 million documented in 2019, according to Statista. GlobalData reports that the AR marketplace should hit $60 billion in 2023.
Cryptocurrency has had a volatile, and in some cases disastrous year, but the blockchain technology it is built on has many other applications. As a result blockchain is predicted to become one of the fastest growing sectors this decade. The expected growth of Web3.0 and its reliance on blockchain technology to power its applications should spell more employment opportunities.
Other areas of focus for those interested in looking for a new role in 2023 should be the cloud computing space which has experienced unprecedented growth over the past three years.
Artificial intelligence (AL) and machine learning (ML) jobs are also in demand: OpenAI’s recent launch of ChatGPT was a mainstream success, catapulting artificial intelligence into wider conversations, increasing awareness and knowledge about the technology. And data science is another growth sector with the International Data Corporation (IDC), reporting that global data will grow to 163 zettabytes by 2025.
