In the halcyon days, Big Tech companies were viewed as a safe bet thanks to the above-average remuneration and bountiful benefits packages they offered, not to mention the unlimited snacks, on-site massages––and in Meta’s case, free dry cleaning.

But with mass layoffs sweeping through the industry in 2023, lavish perks drying up and experts frequently warning that AI could replace human workers, tech employees across the globe have been forced to face up to the stark reality that a career in Big Tech isn’t as stable, or as lucrative, as it once was. 

The paradoxical silver lining is that tech workers needn’t worry about future job prospects as the tech industry needs more and not less skilled workers; a study by the Korn Ferry Institute found that if the talent deficit of 14.3 million workers isn’t addressed by 2030, Europe will have lost out on a potential €1.323 trillion in unrealised annual revenue.

The other encouraging aspect to note is that these opportunities aren’t within traditional tech companies either.

At a recent roundtable event held at Indeed’s London headquarters, a spokesperson from Glassdoor highlighted that tech candidates should look to non-tech companies recruiting for tech roles, as salaries are often more competitive to entice the best talent. 

And although a job with a supermarket chain might not sound as glamorous on paper as a position with one of the Big Tech behemoths, the numbers stack up.

Additional data estimates that 2023 has seen a 35% increase in tech recruitment in non-tech industries and salaries in these roles have seen a 15% increase compared to comparative salaries in tech companies.

So whether you opt to focus your search within financial institutions adopting the latest advances in fintech, or want to apply your skills and expertise in a traditional retail business that needs specialised software for stocktaking purposes, opportunities abound.
