“Our research suggests that in addition to specific skills and educational backgrounds, Silicon Valley is looking for a strong fundamental understanding of the basics of technology in their new hires,” HiringSolved CEO Shon Burton told NBC Chicago. “Often what separates say, a good engineer from a great one, is a knack for understanding the baseline ‘how’s’ and ‘why’s’ of how things work – the physics of the technology.”
This list is part of HiringSolved's research report about the most in-demand skills required for the 2017 technology job market.
