Research paper

With the advancement of the information and technology, the field of computer science has gained a massive scope compared to the past. More than Tens of thousands of remunerative Computer Science related job remain unfilled nationwide, which clearly illustrates the need for information technology professionals off all experience levels. Computer science Jobs are the less affected jobs despite the global pandemic “COVID19” in 2020. Computer Science jobs are the most creative jobs, so one must be updated with the recent advancement in the field of computers to be competitive in the industry. The computer science has most diversified in terms of jobs and career. Web development, data analysis, Artificial intelligence, Cybersecurity, information management, and research are the major career option in Computer science.

Artificial Intelligence

The last decade has seen the explosion in AI. The increase in power efficiency of computers, advancement of machine learning algorithm contributes to the disruption in this field. The fact that big tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft etc. are investing in this fields further ensures the brightness of the AI. General Manager of Mixed Reality Education at Microsoft, Dan Ayoub says, “AI will be great transformer, improving the efficiency of many sectors and enabling the creation of higher value services that can lead to overall economic growth”.

According to top job searching website Indeed, the average salary for “artificial intelligence” ranges from approximately $88,138 yearly for Intern to $147,128 yearly for Machine Learning Engineer. Machine learning has diverse field such as, Neural Network, Data analysis, Natural Language processing etc.

Web Development

D. Smith et al[2] conducted the research to access the market demand for web programming and web development. They used dice.com a job finding site to conduct research. According to this survey, a web programming language JavaScript had three percent of jobs in 2005. In 2015 it had near fifteen percentage becoming second wanted programming language. According to this paper, more than 10% of all dice jobs in 2014 include HTML and CSS which are used prominently in web.

The Median annual salary of web developer was $73,760 in May 2019, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Many company are still unaware of the security flaws. Thomas R. Imboden et al[4] conducted the research on how the nonprofit organization are getting influence in creating and adopting information security policies. On research, they found that only half (56.3%) of organization reported having information security policy. Approx two third (67.3%) reported the incidient which affected their security which includes spyware, malware, data theft, hardware and software failures and viruses. This researches further brighten the need of strong security policy and system.

According to Indeed, the average salary for the Security analyst ranges from approx. $40,982 yearly for Intelligence Analyst to $105,980 yearly for IT security specialist. The Job is expected to grow by 31% by 2029 which is far from the average jobs.

Information Research Scientists

Information Research Scientists are the innovators of new technology to solve the complex problem. They research in complex fields like science, medicine, and business. They not only innovate also find the uses for the existing technology.

Computer and Information Research Scientist work in the core computer science. They try to optimize the efficiency of algorithm, create new algorithm to solve the task, write algorithm to analyze data pattern.

According to Bureau of Labor Statistic, the earning of computer and information research scientists is average of $122,840 in 2019. The employment is assumed to grow 15% by 2029.

IT Project Managers

IT Project managers are the ones with strong knowledge of information technology and management. Project managers create the timeline, assist in synchronizing the different department of the company.
