why do you need to focus on getting the Highest Paying Jobs in the Software Industry? I will tell you why I have a friend who is a software engineer. I know him since 2009 At that time he was a fresher and he got a below-average salary as a fresher in software development. Do you know the average salary of a fresher in the software industry?
In India, it is Rupees three lacs twenty-five thousand per annum. whereas in the US it is dollars sixty-seven thousand five hundred the sad part is that this average salary has remained the same for the last ten to fifteen years. Ask any software engineer to come back to my friend. I met him after ten years in 2019 he was frustrated and the reason was his low paying job in a software company.

He was with the company for more than ten years,. He told me, I am struggling with my finances my salary is poor. it is peanuts compared to my colleagues with the same experience. I am not able to find another job or improve my income and now the company is talking about layoffs. it is very disturbing I don’t know what to do And this article is inspired by that conversation.
I am going to tell you exactly what I told him and this information changed his salary during our conversation. I understood that he was working on the same things that he had learned in 2009. Over that he was doing the same type of software projects. Now you are smart and you don't need to be Albert Einstein to say If you keep doing the same things then you keep getting the same results.
If you remain on the same technology for an extended period of time then your income will grow very slowly this is an attitude of a mediocre software engineer and I don’t want you to have this attitude. I want you to be that software engineer. who sees how the industry is shaping up with respect to technology and is at the forefront of that technology because such an engineer will never have to worry about salary or promotions or even layoffs.
That is the single biggest reason you as a software engineer should focus on getting the highest paying jobs in the software industry. because when you do that you will get ideas and insights about streams of software development you need to focus on otherwise if you remain frustrated then like my friend you will be left behind earning peanuts.
If there is only one thing you can take from this article then take this focus all your attention on skills that will get you a high paying job. so that you will become invincible in the software industry and this is a mindset change more than learning a new skill. let us look at streams of software development. where you can get high paying jobs Recently I was reading a newsletter from Infosys In that Infosys mentioned twenty-two different streams of software development where they are looking for power programmers.
(1) Full-Stack Developer

So engineers knowing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are most in-demand today.
(22) Robotic Process Automation Developers
Robotic Process Automation Engineer writes code to automate workflows by studying user performing a task in an application. They build systems like the chatbots that are gaining wide acceptance in the customer support scenarios.
I hope you are not exhausted by this list. But remember you need to focus on only one stream of your interest. So these twenty-two streams Full Stack Development Application Programming Interface or API Business Process Management Cybersecurity Legacy Modernisation Enterprise Cloud or Cloud Computing Big Data DevOps.
IT Automation Enterprise Service Management Internet of Things Enterprise Learning Management Robotic Process Automation, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Digital Marketing Digital Product Engineering Omni Channel Marketing Content Personalisation 3D Printing Augmented Reality Blockchain and Drones Focusing on any one of these twenty-two streams will give you an opportunity for a high paying job.
