A rose by any other name…

Looking for a new career path in the new year? Consider carefully your choice of job title.

Here are the hottest technology job titles, according to TheLadders, a New York-based job-matching service and employment website:

  • DevOps engineer
  • iOS developer
  • data scientist
  • UX designer
  • UI developer
  • Android developer
  • business intelligence developer.

Notice anything interesting about the list? Four of those seven job titles (DevOps engineer, iOS developer, data scientist, and Android developer) didn’t even exist five years ago.

Okay, yes, we realize that you need more than just the title. You need the chops, too. But it doesn’t hurt to look at the job titles and hone your skills accordingly. Oh, and you might want to keep an eye on the future. Who knows what jobs will be hot in another five years.
