      1. What is a tech job?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Not too long ago, the tech field was relatively small\u2014and pretty hard to break into. When people thought of \u201ctech jobs\u201d, they usually thought of developers and graphic designers. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Today, it\u2019s hard to imagine life without technology. From our social lives to getting groceries, technology permeates almost every facet of modern life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      As technology itself has developed, so has the industry\u2014and our understanding of what a \u201ctech job\u201d is.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Today, tech is a broad field that encompasses a wide range of positions\u2014with new job titles and roles emerging every year. In general, \u201ctech job\u201d refers to any role that involves the use of technology to design, develop, or enhance products, services, or processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      This can include <\/span>UX\/UI design<\/span><\/a>, software engineering, <\/span>data analysis<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>web development<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>digital marketing<\/span><\/a>, cybersecurity, and more; essentially, any job that requires extensive use of technology and technical skills can be considered a tech job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      2. The tech job market at a glance<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Before you make the jump into a tech job, you\u2019ll want to make sure the industry is stable\u2014and you\u2019ll be on track for financial security in the long run (especially with the backdrop of post-pandemic economic uncertainty). So what\u2019s the job outlook for tech professionals at the moment?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re unsure if now is a good time to break into tech, we\u2019ve got good news: The tech industry is still growing\u2014and that growth means tech jobs will remain in high demand for the foreseeable future. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Job board Indeed\u2019s 2023 <\/span>annual ranking<\/span><\/a> of the U.S.\u2019s best jobs listed tech jobs as eight of the top ten\u2014and according to <\/span>Zippia<\/span><\/a>, the tech industry is in second place for driving the US economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      In 2024, this doesn’t look to be slowing down, with tech roles like web developer and web designer (UX and UI design) roles predicted to grow over 15% over the next eight years<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Remember: tech jobs are in demand far beyond the tech industry itself. With almost every business across sectors requiring a digital presence (and often a digital product) tech professionals can find work in sectors like\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
