The Highest-Paid Big Data Skills

read more at: Techgig.com

Yes, “Big Data” has become one of those buzzwords, along with “cloud,” that’s way overused these days. But it’s clear that employers want tech pros who can analyze massive datasets and deliver actionable intelligence: According to the most recent Dice Report, firms in several states consider data-analytics skills a critical resource, one that they’re more than happy to shell out big bucks to obtain.

Dice found that a full 24 percent of survey respondents in Seattle had Big Data skills—an unsurprising twist, considering the number of data-hungry firms (such as Amazon and Microsoft) that call the surrounding region home. Close behind it was Portland, with 22 percent, followed by Silicon Valley with 20 percent, Baltimore/Washington, D.C. (and its heavy contingent of federal agencies) with 19 percent, and Atlanta with 17 percent.

Check out the latest analytics jobs.

Whether startups and tech giants on the West Coast or federal contractors in Washington, D.C., there’s clearly a demand for analytics abilities. But which of those abilities pay the best? Here’s Dice’s list of the top seven, by average annual salary:

Cassandra: $128,646
MapReduce: $127,315
Cloudera: $126,816
HBase: $126,369
Pig: $124,563
Flume: $123,186
Hadoop: $121,313

That doesn’t include perks or other incentives, of course. “Big Data” might be a buzzword… but it’s one that can prove lucrative for those with the aptitude for crunching it.

This Was The Thing That Made Steve Jobs So Great

Reference: TechGig.com John Sculley It's been nearly 4.5 years since Apple cofounder Steve Jobs passed away. But he remains a role model for many today - the gold standard of a tech visionary. One of the few men who could call himself Steve Jobs' boss, former Apple CEO John Sculley, talks about why in his new book, "Moonshot." "Steve was not an engineer - he just saw different things that people were working on and connected the dots between them," Sculley wrote in his new book, notes the New York Post. Sculley gave the example of how Jobs added calligraphy fonts to the Mac, which created a new market for the Mac as a way to do home-grown document publishing. "That was something no one was working on at the time," Sculley said. Obviously, it's not that easy to look at the world, see what's missing and deliver a high-quality product that fits the bill. Otherwise, we'd all be Steve Jobs. John Sculley/Michael Seto/Busines...

Do you require a dedicated system administrator?

Technology has evolved so has administrator. Days have gone when people were needed to sit in front of System to monitor or manage it. With growing orchestrations tools and system remote manage capabilities. We really don’t require someone to be deputed to do administration on site. We require people to manage the floors and handle physical issues rather than management issues. Outsourcing Administration and Management of Server assets not only give organization peace of mind but quality Engineers to take care of their infrastructure with excellence. Day has come to take a step ahead and take on board organization as System Administrators rather than Resource with limited knowledge.
