These tech jobs aren't going anywhere

Talk of a tech recession and mass layoffs across the sector dominated the headlines in 2022.

And while certain areas have contracted and companies have acted accordingly by reducing their workforces, various industries continue to go from strength-to-strength and have been bolstered by the growing demand for cloud-based technology, machine learning tools, blockchain technology, and the acceleration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in our everyday lives.

Fintech’s future

The last 12 months have rocked the foundations of fintech—in May, Swedish BNPL fintech Klarna slashed 10% of its workforce, and in November Stripe announced it was laying off 14% of its staff, affecting approximately 1,120 of the fintech leader’s 8,000 strong workforce—but despite these attention-grabbing statistics, the sector’s future looks bright for 2023, thanks to the emergence of B2B fintech.

In fact, according to data compiled by Dealroom, fintechs selling to businesses have attracted €13.1 billion in investment compared to €3 billion for fintechs selling to consumers, the lowest figure B2Cs have commanded since 2015.

Cybersecurity is on the rise

The threat of online security breaches and hacking of personal information continue to inform the sector and cybersecurity is expected to grow globally by 14% before 2029. The need for more secure networks is also fuelling the demand for cloud-based data security as many organizations move away from network-centric security towards a multi-cloud strategy using two or more vendors.

And the job market can’t keep up—43% of organizations globally are struggling to find top talent, meaning an even greater reliance on automation and managed security tools.

A boost to blockchain

Cryptocurrency has traditionally dominated the blockchain space. But with experts predicting that the sector will add €5.67 trillion to the global economy by 2030 due to the mass adoption of Web3.0, a strong component of which is decentralized finance, a career in blockchain is a safe bet.

This is further bolstered by the technology’s infiltration into retail, media, and entertainment. Market Research Future also predicts that decentralized finance will become more prominent within traditional banking, financial services, and the insurance sector.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is getting real

With machine learning and automation becoming increasingly important to service-based companies, AI software sales are booming and are forecast to increase even more.

According to data compiled by Gartner, the AI software market has increased by 21% when compared to 2021, and workers with AI experience, especially those in more senior or leadership roles, are in even higher demand.

AR/VR to become an everyday reality

While the Metaverse still appears to be very far from completion, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) look set to infiltrate our everyday lives, especially for remote workers who are predicted to rely on AR and VR to help them connect with their teams.

In financial terms, GlobalData equates this to the AR market hitting €56.83 billion in 2023 before reaching €315 billion by 2028.
