AWS Cloud Skills Pay Off, Tech Salary Report Says
Cloud skills are paying off in today's tech sector, a new report from careers site Dice says, with Amazon-related skills among the most profitable. In fact, AWS services are strewn throughout the top-paying skills list, even taking two of the top five salary slots. Placing No. 3 on that list is Amazon DynamoDB, followed by Amazon Redshift, both providing more than $125,000 as an average salary. The top five entries on that list are: Go programming language (Golang): $132,827 Kafka: $127,554 Amazon DynamoDB: $125,554 Amazon Redshift: $125,090 Cassandra: $124,152 Overall, Dice's annual tech salary study shows low unemployment and stagnant salaries, with other considerations beyond salary affecting job choices among developers and other pros who seem increasingly willing to move on. That latter point is highlighted by a section of the newly published Dice 2019 Salary Report from the tech careers specialist titled "It's Not Only About Money." &qu
