1: Be comfortable with the Agile method

This project management methodology is THE must-have skill. It requires constant adjustment and the ability to focus on several objectives. The customer is placed at the heart of the project, and adaptation to the customer is permanent.

2: Master as many programming and/or coding languages as possible

To name just a few of the most reputable: JAVA, Python, SQL, or PHP. Mastery of a framework, such as Symfony is also highly recommended. Note that few candidates master several languages, so if you're that rare gem, you have a real differentiating asset!

3: Understanding new challenges: cybersecurity, AI and Cloud

As far as its own challenges are concerned, up until now the sector has been traversed by the need to offer telephony and network solutions to businesses, to deploy fiber and internet. Increasingly, with the arrival of artificial intelligence and the Cloud, missions have turned towards cybersecurity, data storage and management.

4: Mastering Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools

AWS have largely conquered the market since they represent a share approaching 35%, and this trend has been stable for 4 years, if we are to believe the article "Cloud: tech giants share the global market" published on the Statista website.

5: Be self-taught and adaptable

These softskills are among the most sought-after. The sector requires a great ability to adapt given the speed at which digital transforms: for example, if a programming language updates, you need to be able to update quickly. The ability to question oneself is also a valued life skill in IT.
