- Hey everyone. Welcome
back to my channel. I saw that you guys
really loved this video that I posted just a couple of days ago about the top five
software engineering roles that will be in demand for 2021. So I wanted to create a video for people who are not interested in programming, but want to break into tech. Believe it or not, there
are a ton of roles available for people who don't
wanna learn how to code, don't want anything to
do with programming, who want to be in technology, and believe it or not, some
of these roles even make more than software engineers. Yes, they do. So if you don't care about programming, but you want to break into
tech and you wanna figure out what are the available roles for me, definitely keep watching and check out the top
five tech roles for 2021 for people who don't wanna program. So the first role is UI and UX designers. So UI and UX is a major deal, and it's definitely critical
to a product's success. I mean, think about
products that you've used that are not user-friendly
or to be honest, just have an ugly interface
that you couldn't care about. Yeah, their UI and UX needs work. So if you're curious
about what UI and UX is, UI is basically User Interface. UI designers are concerned with how the application actually looks. So they're all about the
design of the application. Things like the buttons,
the color schemes, the different graphical
elements on the application or on the product. That's what they're
concerned with developing and even things like
the different animations that you might see on the screen or different micro interactions, UI designers are all about that. And that's what they're
involved in building out. UX designers are responsible
for the user experience of an application, how the user interacts
with the application. So they're making sure
that the user experience with the application is not
clunky, that it's smooth, and that it's a very
easy, intuitive process. So you might be wondering, what do UX designers
actually do day to day? You'll find them doing a
ton of different things. You might find them doing
things like research studies to see how the user is
interacting with the application and ways that they can actually
improve that interaction. You might also find them
prototyping and doing wire frames for the setup and how the
different pages will flow, how the user will basically
interact with the product. You might see them creating
personas about like what type of customers that they're targeting and how they expect the
user will use this product and application. So, like I said, UI and UX
is extremely crucial part of the business and you'll find UI and UX teams working together. And at larger companies,
you might see multiple UI and UX teams that are
dedicated to a specific feature or a specific item versus
a smaller companies where it might just be one
person who's responsible for the UI and the UX of a product. I'm always surprised to see how much UI and UX designers actually make. This is a salary that
you could expect to make if you're a UI and UX designer. Of course, you wanna keep
in mind that your location is gonna be really important
when it comes to salaries. I would also recommend that
you check out these channels where these different UX
designers share the salaries that they actually make. Now, let's move on to the next role, which is the product manager role. Product management is probably
one of the most popular roles that you'll see at a tech company. PMs work with so many different teams and they're responsible
for taking idea all the way to an actual product, and
then making sure to improve and iterate on a specific product. So specifically you'll
find them doing tasks like attending a lot
of different meetings. PMs are responsible for
keeping everyone happy: business happy, engineering
happy, marketing happy, sales happy, every part of the product, they're kind of responsible for managing those relationships. So you'll find them attending
a ton of those meetings. You might find them working
with engineering teams to decide what tasks to prioritize, what features actually prioritize. With business and
marketing and sales folks, you might find them discussing
where the product is in terms of completion. You also might find them
actually corresponding with users to get feedback on the different products that they're working on. So PMs are not only
attending a ton of meetings, but they're also doing
a lot of data analysis. They're defining and also monitoring different
success metrics to sort of see what is successful, is the
product performing as expected? They also tend to write
a lot of documentation about the product so that they
can keep many teams informed about what the product actually does. So finally, I do want to mention that at larger tech companies, you'll
see two types of PM roles. You'll see your business-minded PM, who is responsible for the
why and the what of a product. You'll also see a TPM, which
is a technical product manager, who is responsible for
the how of the product, or how does this product
actually get built? And they're more of the engineering focus and technically-focused PM. And as you can see, PMs
make a great salary. They're making a ton of money. So if you're someone who is very organized and you know how to communicate
with different stakeholders and manage different relationships, and you can see something
from the beginning to the end, this might be a good role for you. So now let's move on to the
next role, which is tech sales. Tech sales is a extremely
crucial part of the business because they're honestly
directly linked to revenue. So tech sales is all about
bringing in new customers and new clients. So people who are working in tech sales are identifying new customers, new markets for their different products. They also need to have a
very strong understanding of the product because
they're usually the ones that are giving presentations
on the products, speaking with customers about
the details of the products to make sure that this
product is a good fit for the potential customer. You might find them attending
expos, attending conventions, and sort of communicating
about this product. And the cool thing about
sales is that they make a lot of money because they're
directly tied to the revenue of the business. Sales salaries are a little
bit different from other roles at tech companies because they have a lot of commission-based compensation. So you might find that your commission that you get from a company, it might be even twice or more
than twice of your salary. So if you're someone who is goal-oriented and knows how to be very persuasive and knows how to communicate
very effectively with people, this might be the right role for you. So another popular role that you'll see at a ton of tech companies is the customer success
account management role. Customer success is a really crucial part of different businesses. They're responsible for customer growth and customer retention
through client management. So they're all about
managing relationships with different clients and they take a very
proactive approach to this. They're constantly emailing clients, speaking to clients on the phone, sometimes even meeting up with clients to make sure that customers
are having a good experience with their different products, and the customer is
successfully using the product. They're also using CRM
tools like Salesforce to manage these relationships
and to keep track of any customer pain points and the status of the
relationship of the customer, or maybe when they actually
reached out to the customer. They're also the ones that are communicating any update changes to the customer and any new products that the customer might be interested in. They're the point of contact between the business and the customer, and because customer success
has a direct relationship with the client, they can
really help the business with the strategy because
they might see pain points that many customers have and any trends in the customer's pain points
and sort of bubble that up to the business so that the
business can actually make the product better. And as you can see, they
make really great salaries. So if you're someone who's good
at relationship management, you love talking to people,
you love helping people, this might be the right role for you. The next role, and we all
know what this role is because a lot of us have
interacted with people in this role, and that is
the tech recruiter role. So tech recruiters are responsible
for bringing candidates into the company. So they're responsible
for sourcing candidates and making sure that the
candidate's skillset matches an open position. They also use platforms like
LinkedIn and other platforms to connect candidates to the right roles and also to get new candidates
into the interview pipeline. And also when a candidate is
in the interview pipeline, they're responsible for
taking the candidate from the first interview all
the way to the offer stage. And sometimes they're responsible
for negotiating the offer. So tech recruiters are an
extremely important part of the business. They make a great salary. So if you're someone who has very strong communication skills, you're great at networking, this might be the right
role for you as well. So there you have it, five roles that you'll see
in a lot of tech companies. These roles will probably
be in demand in 2021. So if you're not
interested in programming, but you're interested
in breaking into tech, these might be the right roles for you. So let me know down below which
role did you like the best, which role did you think was boring? Let me know that too
