The Weekly Dispatch

Top posts from this week

Hello Reader,

​

πŸ“ From the Top

​

As we kick off 2025, the tech job landscape is evolving rapidly. DevOps engineers are commanding average salaries of $140,000, with DevOps architect roles reaching $209,000.

Meanwhile, liberal arts graduates are becoming increasingly valuable as AI reshapes workplaces, bringing critical thinking and ethical perspectives to technology implementation.

These shifts signal exciting opportunities for both technical and non-technical professionals looking to advance their careers.

πŸ”¦ Weekly Spotlight

As we start the year, traditional hiring practices are undergoing a significant transformation. Major tech companies are increasingly dropping degree requirements, focusing instead on skills and practical experience. Entry-level roles now emphasize certifications, portfolios, and bootcamp credentials over four-year degrees. Meanwhile, self-taught developers and coding bootcamp graduates are landing positions at Fortune 500 companies, with average starting salaries of $85,000.
