Developer ransom ‘100 million won’ era … 18 most popular IT jobs in the US by 2021

The epidemic has increased the demand for software developers in all industries as companies provide more digital services to their employees and customers and drive cloud strategies.

Appointment of CEO of US IT Recruitment Platform Josh Brenner “At the same time, we are currently in the midst of a‘ great resignation ’where employees are leaving their jobs at record rates,” he said.

“During the COVID-19 epidemic, there is time for self-reflection as many people are rethinking their career paths from a new perspective.
