We've famously heard our parents advocate for us to be Lawyers, Doctors, or Accountants. But are those the only options? With advancing technology, we have seen many other job opportunities open up. When we thought software engineering was just another run of the mill career option, things have changed.
As the internet evolves into the new age of Web 3.0, software engineering as a career is becoming more lucrative. Software engineers will have the option to apply their skillsets to many jobs.
With Mark Zuckerberg's recent announcement of the Metaverse, the possibilities for software engineers are endless. Software engineers will be vital to creating digital platforms for companies to connect with their audience.
Adidas is one of these companies getting ahead of the curve, making exclusive digital clothing to parallel people's real-world lives. They're not stopping there as they plan to fill their digital space with more exclusive content and experiences. Soon, more companies will follow suit, and the need for Metaverse software development will soar.
During the first nine months of 2021, there were a reported 15,935 cybercrimes in Malaysia, resulting in losses of about RM380 million. Even with the state of the art software available today, digital spaces are still vulnerable and need constant innovation to stay safe.
With the progression into a more digitally interconnected society, cybercrimes will continue to rise. Security software will need to be constantly maintained by engineers to prevent cybercrimes. Software engineers will be required to work together with cybersecurity officers to keep the internet a safe and secure place for everyone.
Blockchain is a recording system that is almost impossible to hack. It is a buzzword for crypto enthusiasts, but many people don't know its use in other industries. It also gets used to protect copyright, share data and secure online voting. Blockchain developers are in high demand but rare to find. Four out of five positions in this field are left unfilled with so few people in the space despite the high average salary of $70k a year.
