I just read a post on an italian newspaper's website. It talks about the gap between demand and supply in ICT jobs in the country. I don't know how they calculate these statistics but anyhow:
in 2020 18% of job offers will go unanswered (in 2015 it was 9%)
the demand for what they call "big data analyst" (and we call data scientists) is 90% on a yearly base
The article is more about the lack of skilled people in ICT and the demands of the market. I think the premise is weird because they make a direct link between the number of graduates in engineering and ICT degrees and the poor state of the market without keeping in mind that:
not all ICT jobs need a specialised degree (it helps and sometimes it helps a lot but this type of info it's not usually picked up in general statistics)
some IT companies here don't even screen candidates without the degree they're looking for or without a degree at all (paper before skills). Others put so many skills on the job description that they shoot themselves in the foot right at the starting line
the median pay for developers working in companies (I don't know about the other professions in the market) is one of the lowest in western Europe
This is seriously great solid advice :)
Honestly yeah, unless that product would be transformed to a side gig, from a learning perspective more value comes from a generic skill.
