"I think there will be a change in the way a software engineer works, and instead of five software engineers you might need four in future," she said. AdvertisementHe said that people who studied software engineering before the rise of AI tools have a stronger foundation because they have "written code from scratch." AdvertisementAn added that foundational knowledge in "algorithms, data structures, software engineering, and other critical areas" is essential for advancing AI technologies. David Malan, a computer science professor at Harvard, told BI that AI tools could be a plus for aspiring software engineers who know how to leverage them. Tejas Rajagopal, a recent computer science graduate from NTU, said he's been trying to expand his skillset to strengthen his chances of landing a job.

The jobs that saw the highest wage increases year-on-year were data scientists (11.3%), systems analysts (8.27%), cybersecurity engineers (8.24%) and quality assurance (8.01%). The report, compiled by tech salaries aggregator Nodeflair, took into account more than 422,000 salary data points including pay slips, offer letters and job advertisements from different countries and companies of all sizes and industries. Nodeflair said that a surge in compensation for data scientists can be attributed to "a rising interest in generative AI." Last year saw an AI boom fueled by the launch of viral chatbot ChatGPT in November 2022.

Many computer science majors say job hunting has become tougher after layoffs hit the industry. Ben Leong, a Singaporean computer science professor, said getting a job was never easy. He told Insider he picked his major because he was interested in technology — and also because of the industry's salaries. Wong told Insider last month that he's applied to 17 jobs and has heard back from five companies.
