If you’re looking for a future-proof, in-demand, and well-compensated career, programming yourself to pursue a career in tech is the way to go. (Pun intended!)
Just a quick glance at the recent data and surveys on promising jobs in the digital age, regardless if it’s in and out of the pandemic, it all points to the highly competitive yet rewarding Computer and Information Technology industry.
