High demand IT specialists and salary
r/cscareersquestions I am 3 course student at Heriot-Watt university, BSc Software engineering. It is already last year left. I wanna find job before graduation or at least have portfolio. I think i should choose IT field and learn some courses and make projects. But I am worried about how to find job. I am from Kazakhstan and definitely will work there. In Kazakhstan, employers hire through connections and reputation. But I have no experience at all. I only have academic projects at university that I completed with the help of the graduate school, and I don't think they're suitable for a portfolio. My first question is: how can I find a job? My second question concerns the profession. My bachelor's degree is primarily in software development. I'm not sure what that means, and graduates of this program are CEOs. But I can't immediately become a CEO. So I want to choose a high-paying profession, study independently for 0.5-1 year, and build a portfolio. So my second question is: what are some high-paying professions where AI won't steal my job as a junior developer?
