Linux Foundation 2015 Linux Jobs Report: ​Companies really want Linux-savvy employees


Quote:
Do you want a job in IT that you can count on in years to come? Then start polishing up your Linux skills.

According to the Linux Foundation and tech job company Dice, in the 2015 Linux Jobs Report, "Nearly all hiring managers are looking to recruit Linux professionals." While programmers and Linux system administrators are in high demand, your chances of landing a great job are greater if you have cloud, security, and/or software defined networking (SDN) skills.

In particular, "42 percent of hiring managers say experience with or knowledge of OpenStack and CloudStack are having a big impact on their Linux hiring decisions" while "49 percent of Linux professionals believe open cloud will be the biggest growth area for Linux in 2015."

Container technologies, such as Docker, get a lot of ink but aren't as important for finding a job. Only five percent of hiring managers say that container knowledge has made a difference in their hiring decisions. 19 percent of Linux professionals see containers as the top growth area.

"Competition for Linux talent is accelerating, as the software becomes more ubiquitous," said Shravan Goli, Dice's President in a statement. "Hiring managers need to ensure they are offering the right set of incentives to attract talent, while professionals need to provide evidence of their knowledge and skills, especially in areas of growing demand such as the cloud."

Looks like good news for those with Linux skills.
