IT's Next Hot Job: Hadoop Guru

Posted by samzenpus on from the specialize-or-adapt dept.

gManZboy writes "JPMorgan Chase and other companies at this year's Hadoop World conference came begging for job applicants: They say they can't find enough IT pros with certain skills, including Hadoop MapReduce. That spells high pay. As for Hadoop's staying power as a career path (a la SQL 30 years ago), IBM, Microsoft and Oracle have all embraced Hadoop this year. Maybe the best news of all: 'Intelligent technologists will pick up Hadoop very quickly.'"

    After all, every other framework of the month has lasted for 30 years, Hadoop will have at least as much staying power as Ruby on Rails!

    That's OK, it won't stop moron head hunters from stipulating in the coming weeks that they only want Hadoop programmers with at least 5 - 10 years experience. I remember seeing that for Java programmers... in 2000.
