The Hype in Big Data has subsided and the reality has kicked in. As more and more companies are realizing the true potential of Big Data Technologies, they are joining in droves to experiment, adopt and grow their Big Data portfolio. As a result there has been a noticeable spurt in Big Data requirements popping up in the market place. As with any technology when they are new and hot, the supply generally lags the demand. In fact the situation with Big Data technology is so bad, that any average IT guy with Hadoop Certification on his or her Resume can comfortably land in an 80k salary job. Add a good chunk of DW/BI and/or Java skillset or experience, the salary ask can easily jump another 20%.
The need for a structured learning roadmap is critical for success in new Big Data Technologies. Here is a nice blog that goes step by step into the preparation and execution of this strategy.
