00:25if that sounds like something that
00:26interests you go ahead hit the subscribe
00:28and ring the notification bell if you
00:30haven't done it already so that you
00:31never miss any content like this now
00:33with that being said
00:34let's jump right into it so this was an
00:36article that was posted
00:38and glassdoor basically did an internal
00:40study with all the data that they have
00:42gathered from people from different
00:45and they figured out what the 10 best
00:47jobs are now in my opinion glassdoor is
00:49one of the better companies because i've
00:51done a ton of research on this when it
00:52comes to releasing different opinions
00:54about different careers and different
00:56so in this video i'll be going over some
00:58of the statistics that they released and
01:00my thoughts on these different careers
01:01number 10 on the list was business
01:05so basically what this job is is it's
01:07another one of those careers that's kind
01:09an entrepreneur with structure there's a
01:11few careers i've talked about on this
01:13channel that are kind of like
01:14being an entrepreneur with training
01:16wheels like basically you get the
01:17company they tell you what to do and
01:19then they kind of just let you do your
01:20own thing and this is one of those
01:22careers that could be in that same
01:23conversation so basically they are
01:25responsible for developing
01:27the growth within a business or even
01:30different organizations or businesses
01:32now finding these growth opportunities
01:34is not the easiest thing in the world as
01:36you have to have a lot of skills and you
01:38have to be kind of like your own
01:40so i think a really great example of
01:41businesses that work together they were
01:44they both ended up winning was amazon
01:48about 10 or 15 years ago so google
01:50released their ads platform which was
01:52basically where you could put different
01:53ads on various websites
01:55and a lot of people were not taking
01:57advantage of it and it was extremely
01:59underpriced the only reason it was
02:01underpriced was just because of the fact
02:02that nobody knew how to use it so what
02:04amazon did is they went all in on google
02:07they trained a ton of people how to
02:09basically be experts on google ads and
02:11because of that they were able to put
02:14on all kinds of different websites get
02:16those people from those websites onto
02:19and they stole so many customers from so
02:22many different websites
02:23and it was instrumental in their growth
02:25and it was honestly kind of a messed up
02:26tactic that they did i'm not going to go
02:28too deeply into it but basically they
02:30would take a website that you know let's
02:32say they sell baby products for instance
02:34they would get all of the same baby
02:35products that that website sells
02:37and if somebody was looking at let's say
02:39a binky or something like that they
02:41would have that same binky
02:43on amazon for way cheaper so a lot of
02:46the time they were actually
02:47losing money to do this because you know
02:49the cost of the binky itself was
02:51probably more than what they were
02:53but they were acquiring a customer that
02:55was going to spend money
02:57many many years into the future it was a
02:59genius strategy that they used they lost
03:01a lot of money for a long time but they
03:03were able to acquire
03:04millions and tens of millions of
03:06customers doing this so it's possible
03:08that they had a genius business
03:10that came up with this idea i don't know
03:12for sure but that would be something
03:14that a business development manager
03:16now the job satisfaction rating that
03:17glassdoor had was about 4.0 the number
03:20of jobs opening on glassdoor was around
03:23and the median base salary according to
03:25glassdoor was around 78
03:27000. so the question here is why do so
03:29many businesses want to hire someone
03:36well business development managers are
03:38going to be people who are looking for
03:40new verticals within their own business
03:42or they're going to be looking to
03:44improve products that already exist and
03:47there's so many different ways that you
03:48can do this you can partner with a
03:49third-party company for instance
03:51you can integrate their technology into
03:53your workflow and then you pay them a
03:55certain percentage every single time you
03:57another way would be to figure out a
03:59related product to a
04:00already existing product that's
04:02extremely popular a product that if
04:04people bought the first one they'd be
04:06much more likely to buy that second one
04:07and so you could basically use it as an
04:09upsell now going back to amazon of
04:11course an example of this would be let's
04:13purchased their video streaming service
04:15you really liked it and then you decided
04:18maybe i'll purchase a music streaming
04:19service as well now a position that is
04:21somewhat similar to this in that it's
04:23another one of those careers where
04:25you're kind of like an entrepreneur
04:26within a business so
04:28you have a tremendous amount of freedom
04:30within the confines of the business
04:32is going to be number nine on the list
04:34which is strategy manager now these are
04:36going to be professionals that are going
04:37to assess the organization's overall
04:40and exactly when they're going to be
04:42achieved what they have to do in order
04:44to achieve them now the overall job
04:46satisfaction for this one is
04:474.3 which is really really good there's
04:51500 job openings on glassdoor and the
04:53median base salary is 133
04:56000. now unlike the last one this one is
04:59a lower level position or even a medium
05:01level position a lot of the time
05:03strategy managers are going to be
05:04executives so they're going to be at the
05:06top of a business hierarchy and if
05:08you're not an executive yourself then
05:10you're going to be reporting directly to
05:12one now some of the skills you're going
05:13to have to be really good at are going
05:16and setting objectives and goals for a
05:18company now data analysis is all about
05:20understanding an industry and a company
05:22that you're working for and figuring out
05:24exactly what the data is telling you
05:26in terms of what you need to do in order
05:28to be a little bit more profitable
05:29business objectives is all about
05:31product development what changes should
05:33be made to the internal operations of a
05:35business as well as strategy and then
05:36developing goals is figuring out how
05:39and when those objectives are going to
05:41be reached now strategy managers have to
05:43have a multitude of skills not only do
05:45they have to have kind of the technical
05:47data analysis side of things but they
05:48also have to have that leadership
05:50business management side of things as
05:52well that is a killer combination the
05:54mathematical and statistical knowledge
05:56as well as the business expertise
05:58number eight on the list is going to be
06:00speech language pathologist now this is
06:03a healthcare degree of course you're
06:04going to be helping people who most of
06:06the time have speech related disorders
06:08sometimes they also might have
06:10swallowing disorders as well most of the
06:12time you'll be working with children but
06:13sometimes you will also work with adults
06:15now the job satisfaction rating here is
06:17going to be about 3.8
06:19the number of job openings on glassdoor
06:22and the median based salary is going to
06:26a year so a healthcare related degree
06:28not surprised at all that this one made
06:31i always like to use the example of the
06:33movie the king's speech when i'm talking
06:34about speech language pathology
06:39there's a great scene where the doctor
06:41is basically having the king do all
06:43exercises with his tongue in order to
06:45try to help him get ready for
06:47a big speech the king of course has
06:49awful stuttering problems and because of
06:51that he's extremely shy
06:52and he needs to give a good speech to
06:54the people in order to boost their
06:56from all the research i've done this is
06:58a very rewarding career because you get
07:00to work with people and see
07:02them progress from a point where maybe
07:03they have a horrible speech disorder
07:05to the point where it's relatively well
07:07managed getting to see the fruits of
07:09your labors is especially important for
07:11certain types of people
07:12so if that's something that you really
07:14enjoy then this would be a great one for
07:16number seven on the list is going to be
07:18no surprise whatsoever
07:20and that's going to be software engineer
07:22now a software engineer is going to be
07:24working on the maintenance design
07:27when it comes to creating software the
07:29job satisfaction rating here is going to
07:323.6 the number of job openings on
07:35is a crazy 50 000 and the median base
07:39salary is going to be a hundred and five
07:41thousand dollars a year
07:42so this one of course gets mixed up with
07:44software developer all the time which
07:46might be one of the other ones on the
07:49so anyways let me explain the difference
07:52software engineer is somebody who is
07:54an architect for a house that's the way
07:56you want to think about a software
07:57engineer okay so an architect is going
07:59to design the plans for a house
08:02and then the software developer is the
08:03one who looks at those plans
08:05and actually builds out the house itself
08:08so they're the ones who are going to be
08:10actual physical coding now there's a lot
08:12of skills that overlap here of course
08:14a lot of the time these two jobs are
08:16actually interchangeable but
08:17generally speaking a developer will be
08:19highly skilled at maybe one or two
08:21languages whereas an engineer would be
08:23highly skilled at different frameworks
08:26any language and it makes them very easy
08:29what languages would be best for which
08:32software engineering also tends to be a
08:34little bit more creative than software
08:36at bigger companies there tends to be a
08:38huge distinction between the two whereas
08:40at smaller companies they're kind of
08:43number six on the list is going to be
08:45another technology related career big
08:48and that's going to be a data engineer
08:50so this is basically
08:52going to be all about designing and
08:55information systems and information
08:57systems tend to be focused
08:59on data itself so you might have a bunch
09:02and you want to design a system that
09:04knows how to interpret that data
09:06in such a way that it would be useful in
09:08the real world now the job satisfaction
09:10for this one is going to be 3.9 out of 5
09:14excellent there's 6 900 job openings
09:18and the median base salary is 102 000
09:21a year so this is another one where it
09:23sounds very similar to another one that
09:25i mentioned which is data scientist
09:27so data engineers are going to focus
09:30process as well as the streamlining and
09:34of different information systems whereas
09:36data scientists focus a little bit more
09:39kind of approach data from more of a
09:41scientific and analytical perspective
09:43data science is a little bit more
09:45experimental whereas data engineering is
09:47focused more on performance and it tends
09:49to be a little bit more practical as
09:51data engineers are basically specialists
09:53within the field of software engineering
09:55and they specialize in building
09:57information systems that store
09:59consolidate and retrieve
10:01data now this isn't just any random data
10:03it tends to be the type of information
10:05that if interpreted correctly will lead
10:07to the company making a lot more money
10:09this data will be shown to executives
10:11analysts data scientists etc
10:13so that they can make decisions on the
10:15future of the company number five on the
10:18devops engineer hey what do you know
10:20another technology related career this
10:22is why i tell you guys uh
10:24coding and programming that's where it's
10:25at so devops engineer in really
10:28simple language it's almost like a
10:30software developer mixed with an it
10:33person so an information technology
10:35so the job satisfaction here is going to
10:37be 3.9 out of 5 which is excellent
10:39there's about 6 600 jobs that are open
10:42right now on glassdoor
10:43and the median base salary is a hundred
10:46and seven thousand dollars a year
10:47so they basically have the coding skills
10:50of a software developer
10:51as well as the practical skills of an it
10:54oh i t have you tried turning it off and
10:57in fact devops stands for development
11:00and operations and it emphasizes the
11:03between it professionals and coders now
11:06this is designed to create a smoother
11:09when it comes to the process of creating
11:11and integrating software and this is
11:13where devops is incredibly
11:15valuable because they save the company a
11:19time a lot of the time software will be
11:21released there's a ton of bugs
11:23there's a lot of issues and because of
11:25that a lot of companies will basically
11:27delay the release of software
11:29because they're kind of perfectionists
11:31and they want to make sure there's no
11:32the company doesn't want to bring
11:34anything to market if it has a ton of
11:36bugs in it because that'll probably
11:37scare customers away so what the devops
11:40engineers basically do
11:41is they are able to bring things to
11:45because they kind of act like people who
11:47would have the skills on the coding side
11:49as well as the other side which is the
11:52technology side the actual side
11:54where you're looking and making sure
11:55that there's no bugs and the faster you
11:57can test a product out and get it to the
11:59point where it's ready to be brought to
12:01the more money the company is going to
12:03make now this is a relatively new
12:05position as well and in my opinion it's
12:08hottest careers out there you can easily
12:10see how hiring a devops manager
12:13especially at some of these big
12:15can save the company millions and
12:17millions of dollars if you can even just
12:19out a week earlier or a month earlier
12:22this is a really good one
12:23i see it being even better in the future
12:25number four on the list is going to be
12:27product manager now this is another one
12:29of those careers that's kind of similar
12:31to the two that i talked about before
12:33where it's almost like you're an
12:34entrepreneur but you're within the
12:36company itself if that makes any sense
12:38so you do actually have quite a bit of
12:40freedom with some of these careers
12:41but you're within the confines of a
12:43company and it's almost like having
12:45training wheels for being an
12:46entrepreneur so a product manager
12:48specifically is going to be responsible
12:50for developing and releasing
12:52products within an organization so let's
12:54take amazon again for instance let's say
12:55the business development manager
12:57came up with an idea that they are going
12:59to break into the pharmacy market the
13:01strategy manager realized this is a very
13:04and they set a goal to purchase a
13:06company so that they could get a part of
13:08within the pharmaceutical industry and
13:10specifically when it comes to pharmacies
13:12then they purchased a company like
13:14pillpack for instance which they did for
13:15over 700 million dollars
13:17and the product manager gets put in
13:19charge of some of their products
13:20now it might not be all of the products
13:22within pillpack it might just be one or
13:25but they would be responsible for that
13:28the inception from the vision all the
13:30way to seeing it through
13:31and sometimes even further than that now
13:33the job satisfaction here is 3.8 out of
13:36there's 12 000 jobs open on glassdoor
13:38and the median base salary is 117
13:41000. the product manager would be
13:42responsible for knowing exactly what
13:45market you're targeting
13:46who is your customer what are you
13:48selling to them what is the problem that
13:50you're solving for them
13:51then they would come up with how the
13:53product is going to be marketed
13:55as well as the launch strategy they're
13:57responsible for assembling different
13:58teams so they would probably have like a
14:00marketing team and an engineering team
14:02and making sure that they are
14:03communicating with each other now these
14:05careers that are kind of like mini
14:07entrepreneur it's kind of like
14:08entrepreneur with training wheels
14:10not only do they pay really well they've
14:11got great job satisfaction
14:13but on top of that i think these are
14:17starting your own business and becoming
14:18an entrepreneur yourself you're
14:20basically learning like 80 90
14:22of the skills that you need to go out
14:24and start your own product or your own
14:26that would be extremely successful now
14:28this is one of the most common careers
14:30that people go into after getting their
14:32or masters of business administration
14:34and you do want to have some technical
14:36skills here i think it's always a good
14:37idea to have some knowledge when it
14:40however the most important thing here is
14:42going to be the soft skills
14:44the business side of things like sales
14:45leadership communication management
14:48these are going to be the most important
14:51on the list is going to be one that we
14:52already talked about which is data
14:54scientists this one's different from
14:56data engineer so basically they're going
14:58to be organizing a bunch of complex
15:00data and they're going to be putting it
15:02in such a way and organizing it in such
15:03a way that they can make
15:04really important decisions for the
15:06business based on that data a lot of the
15:08time it's just going to be a giant block
15:11no sense whatsoever and you have to
15:13organize it and try to make some sense
15:15so that you can make really good
15:17business decisions now the job
15:18satisfaction rating here is going to be
15:20four out of five which is excellent
15:22there's 6 500 job openings on glassdoor
15:25and the median base pay is going to be a
15:27hundred and seven thousand dollars a
15:29year so this is one where you
15:30truly have to be extremely skilled at
15:33several different things and for that
15:35reason a lot of the time people who work
15:38actually end up getting master's degrees
15:41not only do you have to have extreme
15:42skill in software development but you
15:44also have to be extremely skilled at
15:46mathematics and statistics and on top of
15:48that you also have to be pretty business
15:50because of the fact that data scientists
15:52are going to be making decisions
15:54based on the data that will really
15:56affect the business and the data you're
15:58in is usually going to have something to
16:00do with either sales or marketing
16:02number two on the list is going to be
16:06what do you know another technology
16:09i feel like i'm kind of beating a dead
16:11horse on this channel at this point by
16:12telling you guys you know computer
16:14coding all this sort of thing software
16:16development these are all
16:17incredibly valuable skills but the proof
16:20is in the pudding just look at all these
16:21careers like over half of them are
16:22technology related now
16:24java is very commonly used by large
16:27a lot of the time you're going to find
16:28it in their websites or their
16:31the job satisfaction rating here is 3.9
16:33out of 5 which is great
16:34there's a ton of job openings on
16:36glassdoor at over 16 000
16:38and the median base pay is going to be
16:41a year so java developers are a
16:44specialized type of computer programmer
16:46or software developer
16:47and a lot of the time they're going to
16:48be working with people who set up the
16:51they'll be working with web developers
16:53and software engineers in order to
16:54integrate the java code
16:56into different websites or applications
16:58so this is the type of code that's
17:00extremely common and a lot of people
17:02choose to specialize in it so i've
17:04this before but when it comes to a
17:05software development career there's
17:07basically two different directions you
17:09you can either specialize in something
17:11like a language or a framework for
17:13instance i ran into a software developer
17:16specialized in database architecture he
17:19was basically a database architecture
17:21genius and he was paid extremely
17:24for his specialized knowledge a lot of
17:26the time what happens and this is the
17:29is as you get older as a programmer
17:31companies tend to phase you out and so
17:33you're gonna want to either specialize
17:35or you can do the second thing
17:36which is move into more of a management
17:38related role now in this particular case
17:41it would be specializing in java
17:42it's a really good one for you to
17:44specialize in extremely useful
17:46so i'm not surprised at all that this
17:47one was mentioned and i'm not even
17:48surprised that it came in as number two
17:50number one on the list the best job
17:53according to glassdoor is going to be a
17:55front end engineer now what is the
17:57difference between a front end engineer
18:00type of engineer and developer and data
18:02scientist and blah blah blah they all
18:03sound the same right well
18:04front end engineers are going to
18:06specifically work on what
18:08the customer or the patient or the end
18:12sees so for instance you're scrolling
18:14youtube and the front-end engineer
18:16probably worked with a web developer to
18:18create exactly what you see
18:20on your screen back-end engineers on the
18:23maybe they are focusing on developing
18:27or developing the framework or storing
18:29that data or something like that but
18:31stuff that you don't actually see on
18:33youtube it's all happening under the
18:35so the job satisfaction rating here is
18:37going to be 3.9 out of 5 which is great
18:40there's 13 000 job openings on glassdoor
18:43and the median base pay is gonna be a
18:45hundred and five thousand dollars a year
18:47so this one can be really attractive to
18:49some people because it combines your
18:51kind of you know software development
18:53skills with a little bit of an artistic
18:55side because you are going to be working
18:57stuff that people actually see also from
18:59what i've read there's a little bit less
19:01of an emphasis on mathematics and coding
19:03as a front-end developer versus being a
19:06back-end engineer or a back-end
19:08so i thought this was an interesting
19:10list um some of the methodology that
19:14i'm not a hundred percent sure how
19:15accurate it is you know it's so
19:17subjective at the end of the day
19:19for some people the pay is really going
19:21to matter a lot for some people the pay
19:23is only going to matter up to a certain
19:24point and then past that it doesn't
19:26really matter to them at all
19:27for some people they like a really high
19:29stress competitive environment
19:31others like to be more chill and laid
19:33back but overall what's really telling
19:36sheer amount of companies that are
19:39jobs on this website you know when
19:42you've got 15 16 000 companies that are
19:44posting jobs for this particular skill
19:46that tells you that that is a skill set
19:48that's in extremely high demand and when
19:52that's in demand you're going to tend to
19:53get paid higher so if you're someone who
19:55wants to get paid really well
19:56that's going to be an option for you
19:58you're also going to have a lot of
19:59options companies are basically going to
20:01be fighting over you so there might be a
20:03certain position that you really don't
20:05like maybe you are just alone all the
20:06time and you're not interacting with
20:08well you can find another job where
20:10you're going to be interacting with
20:11people all the time so it really doesn't
20:13matter what personality you have you're
20:14going to find something that's good for
20:16just because of the fact that there's so
20:17much demand for the skills that you have
20:19now on top of this people who have
20:21skills that are high in demand are going
20:23tend to have higher job satisfaction as
20:26and again the reason for this is just
20:28simple supply and demand
20:29if you have a ton of different options
20:31different companies that are willing to
20:33you know fight over you give you really
20:34good sign-on bonuses
20:36that means that the company that you're
20:37currently working for is gonna have to
20:39treat you better in order to keep you
20:41this is why you see all those ridiculous
20:43videos of these tech companies where
20:45they'll have like free restaurants
20:46inside of google and they'll have like
20:49hour in the middle of the day where you
20:50can just go meditate or like practice
20:52jujitsu and there's like free classes
20:54and there's free speeches from
20:56the smartest people in the world and
20:57they just have all these ridiculously
21:00and the reason for that is because they
21:02want to keep their workers happy
21:04so that they stay there alright if you
