What&#8217;s the best path to take? With all the different types of coding jobs available, how do you know which one is right for you?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it depends. If you&#8217;re artistic, you could combine your creativity with your programming skills to create beautiful websites.

Think about the text you are reading right now, all the menus, and even the cool progress bar that tells you how far along you are in this article. All of this was created by a Front-End Engineer. Front-End Engineers create the world you see on the web page, from the login screen to the layout of your search results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Average salary:<\/strong>\u00a0$105,800 with $2,500 annual cash bonus<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-makes-a-good-front-end-engineer\"><strong>What makes a good Front-End Engineer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most successful Front-End Engineers have a solid understanding of\u00a0HTML,\u00a0CSS, and\u00a0JavaScript. In other words, they&#8217;re most familiar with the languages used to create the front end of web and mobile applications. And while Front-End Engineers aren&#8217;t expected to have full-depth skills in web and graphic design, it certainly doesn&#8217;t hurt to have a bit of a creative touch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\">Learn to code from industry experts!

Back-End Engineer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone loves working with slick, well-designed apps and web pages, but what good are they if they don&#8217;t give you the information you need? That&#8217;s where\u00a0Back-End Engineers\u00a0come in.<\/p>\n<p>Most apps and websites store their information in large databases on remote servers to be easily accessed later. Back-End Engineers manage these &#8220;behind-the-screens&#8221; parts of a website. So, when you search for something like &#8220;learn SQL&#8221; (which we recommend for Back-End Engineers), it&#8217;s thanks to them that the results you see are relevant to your search. Similarly, when you&#8217;re browsing, it&#8217;s the work of Back-End Engineers that allows you to quickly view the most current content available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Average salary:<\/strong>\u00a0$120,700 with $4,000 annual cash bonus<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-makes-a-good-back-end-engineer\"><strong>What makes a good Back-End Engineer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Back-End Engineers love solving tricky technical problems. Compared to front-end engineering, which focuses on aesthetics and an engaging experience, back-end engineering rewards the most logical and efficient solutions. Back-End Engineers work a lot with databases using tools like JavaScript,\u00a0SQL, and\u00a0Node.js. They also understand the fundamentals of good database creation, management, and data retrieval.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-full-stack-engineer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Full-Stack_Engineer\"><\/span><strong>3. Full-Stack Engineer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What if you love both the creativity of front-end engineering\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0the technical challenges of back-end engineering? Then, consider becoming a\u00a0Full-Stack Engineer.<\/p>\n<p>While most people think of a Full-Stack Engineer as a Front-End and Back-End Engineer combined, the truth is they are much more than that. Full-Stack Engineers also understand how front end and back end components interact and communicate with each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Average salary:<\/strong>\u00a0$107,300 with $4,100 annual cash bonus<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-makes-a-good-full-stack-engineer\"><strong>What makes a good Full-Stack Engineer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As you might imagine, Full-Stack Engineers have an appreciation for all parts of the development process, from building engaging user interfaces to creating efficient database structures.

Data Scientist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Data science is booming as people and businesses have more and more access to data. The wealth of data we create daily is too much to analyze with traditional methods, so companies rely on data professionals to make sense of it all.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses need people who have both the programming skills to automate data analysis and specific field expertise to make sense of what the data and results mean. In other words, companies need more Data Scientists.<\/p>\n<p>Think of data science as a broad field with many potential niches. For example, it&#8217;s Data Scientists who develop systems that recommend playlists on streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube. It can also be used to build\u00a0machine learning\u00a0models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Average salary:<\/strong>\u00a0$119,400<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-makes-a-good-data-scientist\"><strong>What makes a good Data Scientist?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are switching to development after years of working in another field, you might wonder whether all that knowledge and experience will go to waste. The answer is that it doesn&#8217;t have to! Data Scientists are experts in multiple fields, namely statistics, computer science, coding (including R and Python), and specific fields of expertise. So, if you are a new developer with past experience in another field, then you are already well on your way to becoming a great Data Scientist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\">Learn to code from industry experts!

It&#8217;s up to Data Analysts to work with multiple data sources to find their answers.<\/p>\n<p>While Data Analysts and Data Scientists sound similar, they perform different roles. Both help make sense of large data sets, but Data Analysts focus on business performance and what a company can do to improve. In another post, we take a closer look at\u00a0the difference between Data Scientists and Data Analysts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Average salary:<\/strong>\u00a0$70,000 with $2,500 annual cash bonus<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-makes-a-good-data-analyst\"><strong>What makes a good Data Analyst?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because Data Analysts specialize in using data to improve business performance, they are comfortable working both behind the terminal and in the boardroom. Many analysts use SQL and Python to work with large, complex datasets and distill them into clear visuals and summaries that non-technical teams can understand. They are also great communicators who can explain how the insights gathered from large datasets can contribute to organizational goals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"6-cybersecurity-specialist\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Cybersecurity_Specialist\"><\/span><strong>6.
