THE ROLL OUT of 5G and new age technologies like Metaverse will be a boon for tech talent in India, as demand for networking engineers, user experience designers and testers, cloud computing experts, data scientists and cybersecurity specialists is expected to hit a new record with 2530% rise expected in 2023.
These sought after roles are also commanding better pay packages with almost 10-12% raise expected compared to traditional tech roles.
