In Demand Tech Jobs for 2021 Explained (no coding) - YouTube
Channel: Bukola
[0]
- Hey everyone. Welcome
back to my channel.
[2]
I saw that you guys
really loved this video
[5]
that I posted just a couple of days ago
[7]
about the top five
software engineering roles
[10]
that will be in demand for 2021.
[12]
So I wanted to create a video for people
[14]
who are not interested in programming,
[16]
but want to break into tech.
[17]
Believe it or not, there
are a ton of roles available
[20]
for people who don't
wanna learn how to code,
[23]
don't want anything to
do with programming,
[26]
who want to be in technology,
[27]
and believe it or not, some
of these roles even make more
[30]
than software engineers.
[32]
Yes, they do.
[33]
So if you don't care about programming,
[35]
but you want to break into
tech and you wanna figure out
[37]
what are the available roles for me,
[40]
definitely keep watching
[41]
and check out the top
five tech roles for 2021
[45]
for people who don't wanna program.
[51]
So the first role is UI and UX designers.
[56]
So UI and UX is a major deal,
[59]
and it's definitely critical
to a product's success.
[63]
I mean, think about
products that you've used
[64]
that are not user-friendly
or to be honest,
[67]
just have an ugly interface
that you couldn't care about.
[70]
Yeah, their UI and UX needs work.
[73]
So if you're curious
about what UI and UX is,
[76]
UI is basically User Interface.
[78]
UI designers are concerned
[79]
with how the application actually looks.
[83]
So they're all about the
design of the application.
[86]
Things like the buttons,
the color schemes,
[89]
the different graphical
elements on the application
[92]
or on the product.
[93]
That's what they're
concerned with developing
[96]
and even things like
the different animations
[98]
that you might see on the screen
[99]
or different micro interactions,
[101]
UI designers are all about that.
[103]
And that's what they're
involved in building out.
[105]
UX designers are responsible
for the user experience
[108]
of an application,
[110]
how the user interacts
with the application.
[112]
So they're making sure
that the user experience
[115]
with the application is not
clunky, that it's smooth,
[119]
and that it's a very
easy, intuitive process.
[122]
So you might be wondering,
[123]
what do UX designers
actually do day to day?
[126]
You'll find them doing a
ton of different things.
[128]
You might find them doing
things like research studies
[130]
to see how the user is
interacting with the application
[134]
and ways that they can actually
improve that interaction.
[137]
You might also find them
prototyping and doing wire frames
[140]
for the setup and how the
different pages will flow,
[144]
how the user will basically
interact with the product.
[147]
You might see them creating
personas about like what type
[149]
of customers that they're targeting
[151]
and how they expect the
user will use this product
[154]
and application.
[155]
So, like I said, UI and UX
is extremely crucial part
[158]
of the business and you'll find UI
[161]
and UX teams working together.
[163]
And at larger companies,
you might see multiple UI
[166]
and UX teams that are
dedicated to a specific feature
[170]
or a specific item versus
a smaller companies
[173]
where it might just be one
person who's responsible
[175]
for the UI and the UX of a product.
[179]
I'm always surprised to see how much UI
[181]
and UX designers actually make.
[183]
This is a salary that
you could expect to make
[186]
if you're a UI and UX designer.
[188]
Of course, you wanna keep
in mind that your location
[191]
is gonna be really important
when it comes to salaries.
[194]
I would also recommend that
you check out these channels
[196]
where these different UX
designers share the salaries
[200]
that they actually make.
[201]
Now, let's move on to the next role,
[203]
which is the product manager role.
[205]
Product management is probably
one of the most popular roles
[209]
that you'll see at a tech company.
[212]
PMs work with so many different teams
[215]
and they're responsible
for taking idea all the way
[219]
to an actual product, and
then making sure to improve
[222]
and iterate on a specific product.
[224]
So specifically you'll
find them doing tasks
[227]
like attending a lot
of different meetings.
[230]
PMs are responsible for
keeping everyone happy:
[233]
business happy, engineering
happy, marketing happy,
[235]
sales happy, every part of the product,
[238]
they're kind of responsible
[239]
for managing those relationships.
[241]
So you'll find them attending
a ton of those meetings.
[243]
You might find them working
with engineering teams
[245]
to decide what tasks to prioritize,
[248]
what features actually prioritize.
[250]
With business and
marketing and sales folks,
[252]
you might find them discussing
where the product is
[255]
in terms of completion.
[257]
You also might find them
actually corresponding with users
[260]
to get feedback on the different products
[262]
that they're working on.
[264]
So PMs are not only
attending a ton of meetings,
[266]
but they're also doing
a lot of data analysis.
[269]
They're defining
[270]
and also monitoring different
success metrics to sort of see
[273]
what is successful, is the
product performing as expected?
[277]
They also tend to write
a lot of documentation
[280]
about the product so that they
can keep many teams informed
[282]
about what the product actually does.
[285]
So finally, I do want to mention that
[287]
at larger tech companies, you'll
see two types of PM roles.
[290]
You'll see your business-minded PM,
[292]
who is responsible for the
why and the what of a product.
[296]
You'll also see a TPM, which
is a technical product manager,
[300]
who is responsible for
the how of the product,
[302]
or how does this product
actually get built?
[305]
And they're more of the engineering focus
[306]
and technically-focused PM.
[308]
And as you can see, PMs
make a great salary.
[312]
They're making a ton of money.
[314]
So if you're someone who is very organized
[317]
and you know how to communicate
with different stakeholders
[321]
and manage different relationships,
[322]
and you can see something
from the beginning to the end,
[326]
this might be a good role for you.
[328]
So now let's move on to the
next role, which is tech sales.
[331]
Tech sales is a extremely
crucial part of the business
[334]
because they're honestly
directly linked to revenue.
[338]
So tech sales is all about
bringing in new customers
[342]
and new clients.
[344]
So people who are working in tech sales
[346]
are identifying new customers, new markets
[349]
for their different products.
[350]
They also need to have a
very strong understanding
[353]
of the product because
they're usually the ones
[355]
that are giving presentations
on the products,
[357]
speaking with customers about
the details of the products
[360]
to make sure that this
product is a good fit
[362]
for the potential customer.
[364]
You might find them attending
expos, attending conventions,
[368]
and sort of communicating
about this product.
[370]
And the cool thing about
sales is that they make a lot
[373]
of money because they're
directly tied to the revenue
[375]
of the business.
[376]
Sales salaries are a little
bit different from other roles
[379]
at tech companies because they have a lot
[381]
of commission-based compensation.
[383]
So you might find that your commission
[385]
that you get from a company,
[387]
it might be even twice or more
than twice of your salary.
[391]
So if you're someone who is goal-oriented
[394]
and knows how to be very persuasive
[396]
and knows how to communicate
very effectively with people,
[399]
this might be the right role for you.
[401]
So another popular role that you'll see
[403]
at a ton of tech companies
[405]
is the customer success
account management role.
[408]
Customer success is a really crucial part
[410]
of different businesses.
[412]
They're responsible for customer growth
[415]
and customer retention
through client management.
[418]
So they're all about
managing relationships
[420]
with different clients
[422]
and they take a very
proactive approach to this.
[424]
They're constantly emailing clients,
[426]
speaking to clients on the phone,
[428]
sometimes even meeting up with clients
[430]
to make sure that customers
are having a good experience
[434]
with their different products,
[435]
and the customer is
successfully using the product.
[438]
They're also using CRM
tools like Salesforce
[441]
to manage these relationships
and to keep track
[443]
of any customer pain points
[445]
and the status of the
relationship of the customer,
[447]
or maybe when they actually
reached out to the customer.
[449]
They're also the ones
[450]
that are communicating any update changes
[452]
to the customer and any new products
[454]
that the customer might be interested in.
[456]
They're the point of contact
[457]
between the business and the customer,
[459]
and because customer success
has a direct relationship
[462]
with the client, they can
really help the business
[465]
with the strategy because
they might see pain points
[468]
that many customers have and any trends
[470]
in the customer's pain points
and sort of bubble that up
[473]
to the business so that the
business can actually make
[475]
the product better.
[477]
And as you can see, they
make really great salaries.
[480]
So if you're someone who's good
at relationship management,
[482]
you love talking to people,
you love helping people,
[485]
this might be the right role for you.
[486]
The next role, and we all
know what this role is
[489]
because a lot of us have
interacted with people
[491]
in this role, and that is
the tech recruiter role.
[494]
So tech recruiters are responsible
for bringing candidates
[497]
into the company.
[499]
So they're responsible
for sourcing candidates
[501]
and making sure that the
candidate's skillset matches
[504]
an open position.
[506]
They also use platforms like
LinkedIn and other platforms
[510]
to connect candidates to the right roles
[513]
and also to get new candidates
into the interview pipeline.
[516]
And also when a candidate is
in the interview pipeline,
[519]
they're responsible for
taking the candidate
[522]
from the first interview all
the way to the offer stage.
[524]
And sometimes they're responsible
for negotiating the offer.
[527]
So tech recruiters are an
extremely important part
[531]
of the business.
[532]
They make a great salary.
[534]
So if you're someone
[535]
who has very strong communication skills,
[537]
you're great at networking,
[538]
this might be the right
role for you as well.
[540]
So there you have it,
[541]
five roles that you'll see
in a lot of tech companies.
[544]
These roles will probably
be in demand in 2021.
[548]
So if you're not
interested in programming,
[550]
but you're interested
in breaking into tech,
[552]
these might be the right roles for you.
[554]
So let me know down below which
role did you like the best,
[557]
which role did you think was boring?
[559]
Let me know that too
'cause I'm kind of curious
[561]
about what you guys think
[562]
and thank you guys so much
