My employer is about 2,000 employees, and over 400 different job titles. The #1 job on the list is in fact our biggest growth, none of the others on the list are expected to increase.

Roughly 45K jobs for those positions.... There's millions trying for them. Kind of like playing the lottery, will your choice be the right one?

This assumes all are equally qualified though, which almost certainly isn’t the case.

Really? There's millions of SRE positions for $45k? I doubt you have any knowledge of that field.

If anything, an IT lead could be someone leading a team for innovative product development to supervising help desk employees. Vague title.

We don't hire any of those job titles, though we do have some jobs that sort of line up with Engagement Manager, and Enterprise Account Exec, and Data Scientist. But our pay levels are not anywhere close to that. We're offering new graduating engineers about $45K and our HR thinks they are being generous. I show them a study like this and they deny it's real.

But then the public thinks we're all over paid, they think we're making $180K a year anyway.

There are zero Data scientist jobs that require no experience. So you'll go and study data science and wind up not getting the job. Recent grads and career changers are locked out.

Whenever I see lists of "great jobs" - they're always posted by schools/colleges/universities that are selling education and are lying to people, telling them they an get these great jobs by simply taking their courses.

In my experience I’ve known several people that have gotten data scientist roles by being “scientists” that can program. Not sure if that’s experience or not, but the programming was self taught the science part was education.
