What will be the future development of data science and big data technology?

"Data Science and Big Data Technology" is a newly established major in recent two years. "Data Science and Big Data Technology" has a good employment prospect, a wide range of employment and a high level of employment and salary. The disadvantage may be that the major is relatively new, and the teaching courses may not keep up with the skills needs of big data talents.

Employment Prospects of Data Science and Big Data Technology Specialty

In terms of talent demand, Tencent Research Institute released the "20 17 White Paper on Global Artificial Intelligence Talents" in February 20 17. According to the data, there are 592 companies in China with about 40,000 employees, while the demand for artificial intelligence talents in China has exceeded one million. The serious shortage of talents forces enterprises to lower the threshold of work experience and even cultivate talents from scratch. The breadth and depth of the skills mastered by artificial intelligence talents are gradually improving. Among the artificial intelligence talents who applied for jobs in 20 17 years, 68% have mastered at least three skills. The most common skills in resumes are spark, deep learning, algorithm research, Hadoop, Python and so on. The recruitment of artificial intelligence engineers mainly focuses on two categories: algorithm and development. Talents with bachelor degree or above are the main force in the field of artificial intelligence at present, and the employed population is also rapidly becoming younger.

In terms of salary, you can refer to the IT major. Among the 10 majors with the highest employment salary for undergraduate graduates in 2065 and 438+06, software engineering, computer science and technology, and electronic information engineering have steadily entered the top ten, with salaries ranging from 7K to 9K, and the salary in IT industry is very high. The demand for artificial intelligence and big data technology talents is gradually rising, and it may develop into one of the professions with the best employment prospects in the future.
