After a two-year reign at the top, it
is anticipated that Switzerland will continue to rank first in the Global Innovation Index.
Showcasing the country’s remarkable resilience in the digital industry and
presenting a wealth of opportunities for tech professionals.
A career in digital tech is certainly a
promising one, especially as the number of Swiss tech companies continues to
increase. Not only does this indicate the industry’s growth potential, but also
portrays the genuine demand for experts to assist in cyber-security, data
engineering and even software creation.
Read on as we explore the benefits of a
career in digital technology and why Bern and Zürich are the best cities to pursue your tech career.
A career in an evergreen industry
The future is in fact technology and
there will never not be a time when your tech talents won’t be needed. Cloud
computing and artificial intelligence are only a few of the innovations that
are transforming our world today. For example, the finance sector has moved
from traditional banking and wealth management services to implementing blockchain technology
and introducing robo-advisors. It is clear that technology will only become
more inseparable from the financial sector. All businesses, regardless of
industry, are now directing their attention to finding experts in digital tech
to assist in creating more cyber-safe, efficient and streamlined experiences
for both themselves and their clients.
A career with a strong sense of purpose
Technology is a driving force for
innovation and societal progression. We have technology to thank for the many
convenient and modern luxuries we enjoy today. With contactless payment methods
and e-wallets becoming more popular, we are no longer exposed to the risk of
physical money being stolen from us and feel safer making larger transactions
digitally. Thanks to mobile applications like TWINT, we have been able
to make payments more hygienically too, which has proved particularly
beneficial for preventing the spread of Covid-19. The mobile application has
over 3.5 million active users and 45% of the Swiss population are using the app
to carry out their mobile payments. This is just one way that technology
professionals are able to contribute to the creation of everyday digital
solutions.
A
career that allows for flexibility
Research shows that remote working allows for a 13.5% increase in productivity
when compared to office-based working. Tech companies and businesses all over
the world are more appreciative of their employee’s performance after giving
them the space to find the environment that fuels their productivity best. Transitioning into the tech industry
allows you to work flexible hours from home and more businesses are encouraging
this. Taking cybersecurity jobs as an example, allowing for more malleability
and ease, helps with the meaningful work they do to protect our data. Choosing
a career that allows for more flexibility can also help promote a better
work-life balance.
