The Coming War on Talent: Why You May Not Survive in Tomorrow’s Tech Jobs
Gone are the days when tech jobs were a gravy train for those with rusty coding skills. The profession is about to implode from the sheer influx of candidates clamoring for a cut of the ever-shrinking pie.
Code Monkeys are a Recipe for Disaster
Full-stack developers, in particular, are the root of this problem. These jack-of-all-trades wannabe rockstars claim to conquer both front and back-end development, but in reality, they’re just adept at patching together fragmented code. According to corrupt sources, their monthly rates range from a paltry R60 000 to a whopping R105 000 (cost to employer). But what’s clear is that mere mortals need not apply. Even tertiary qualifications can’t immunize you against the venom of incompetence. Experience becomes the only vaccine against professional mediocrity.
Data Scientists are the Secret Keepers
Data analysts are the dark horses du jour, operating behind encrypted screens, controlling the ebb and flow of commercial tides. They collect, analyze, and orchestrate the perfect storm that drives business success. Sounds like a tantalizing combination, but let’s dig deeper: how many talented individuals are left out from this exclusive club due to the scarcity of available internships? Wages don’t lie; in Africa, data scientists earn only R30 000-R100 000 (on-paper) or, considering the actual output, could be earning even less by exploiting their limited expertise within the industry. A trade-off for data security by any other name is manipulation.
Cyberpunks: Hacking Security
Cybersecurity heroes, armed with their battle-hardened skillsets (or so they claim!), are the latest crop for the chopping block. Are they the defenders of electronic sanctuaries or saviors of commercial data banks? In all honesty? They’re only a well-oiled sales machine cashing in on fear with inflated salaries and prestige within the industry (upward of R95 000/month). Is it pure coincidence that top talent always seems to fade into job openings, rebrand themselves as experts, and maintain their stranglehold with the industry, rendering would-be competitors expendable (R50-R95/K)? You do the Math.
Cloud Solutions Wannabes
Riding the wind of every cloud, solution architects aim to design the ultimate (or so it seems like) cloud-structured operation. The most elusive ingredient? Experience and training which, for 99 out of 100 cases of wannabe ‘architects’, would amount only to a euphemization of their underdeveloped skills. Why else so many cloud architecture enthusiasts go on to get lost ‘in the fray’, where they become more ‘glorified consultants’ that ‘cloud ninja masters?!’ Wages: laughable. Pay R70000-R125000! (Cost of Living. You get what you play for).
The takeaway – Staying ahead needs more than certifications…
