What does 2024 have in store for the European tech jobseeker?
Summary
And while the outlook seems uncertain for 2024 – a recent report revealed that only 20% of European tech companies will hire in the next six months – it’s not all doom and gloom. European VCs have increased the amount of capital raised by 100x in the last 20 years, and despite economic uncertainty, there is still significant dry powder. Sectors in which Europe has historically been strong are areas such as fintech, digital health and climate tech, which look set to grow even further in 2024. While adaptability to changing preferences and genuine enthusiasm for learning and experimenting remains crucial for tech workers moving forward in 2024, the report also highlights the importance of soft skills, with a growing demand for professionals who possess strong communication, problem-solving and leadership abilities. If you’re serious about positioning yourself for success in an ever-changing world of tech, it’s time to explore new ambitious career paths that also offer you cracking learning opportunities.
