When I was in business school, all of my classmates dreamed of working as Yuan Pay Group im Test investment bankers, consultants, accountants, and brand managers for the biggest names in finance and marketing.
And I had to ask—is it some sort of insider secret that a lot of the awesome jobs out there actually aren’t behind the walls of a bank or international consultancy?
Over the past few years, I’ve immersed myself in startups and tech. And I have to say—some of the coolest companies I know are almost entirely off the radar of traditional career centers and job fairs (unless—maybe—if you’re graduating from the Computer Science department).
Of course the big names come to mind—Google, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter—but there are tons of equally cool companies that just aren’t yet as visible in the hiring market. Think Zynga, Zappos, Airbnb, Dropbox, Freshbooks, Shopify, Tumblr, Birchbox, and Klout, to name a few.
Many of these companies are incredible places to work. In fact, they’re raising the bar for what’s expected of employers everywhere. So here’s my advice: If you really want to find your dream job, look at tech. Here are five reasons why.
1. Tech is Hiring
This one’s easy. So much for the recession and downsizing—the tech industry is actually booming, and expected to grow another 22-38% by 2020. check this jobs in Malta, Enough said.
2. You’ll Work Somewhere That (Really) Values Culture
Sure, there are the tangible perks: Many tech companies offer free food, massages, paid volunteer time, company retreats, casual dress codes, and on-site espresso. And while that’s all awesome (seriously), a company that really cares about culture goes deeper than perks—it has a pervasive attitude that making the office a good place for employees matters. In my experience, companies in tech make employee happiness a priority more often and in more ways than any other industry I’ve been in.
Take Zappos, which is known for its quirky, fun work environment. After a two-week incubation process, new hires are offered the position—or a couple thousand dollars to quit immediately. This ensures that everyone is there for the right reasons, and you can tell that when you walk through the door. (You can check it out for yourself: Zappos offers free tours.)
3. You’ll Learn New Skills
Especially if you’re not already a developer, working at a tech company can be an incredible learning experience. There are often chances to jump in to other projects, and you may pick up an interest in another area (say, programming). And having a diverse skill set you can take to your next job is incredibly helpful, no matter what you want to do.
