Help Us to Help You with Our 2016 Skill Up Survey

2 min read

6 months ago we launched our Skill Up campaign to help everyone in the technology community become the developers they want to be – and over 20,000 of you got involved. The results were fascinating; showing just how having the right skills can lead to a better salary for everyone. The results of the first Skill Up report revealed to us, along with a host of other facts about our industry, that:

  • Back-end web developers, on average, make $10,000 more than front end developers and $30,000 more than web designers
  • The top earning industries for data oriented jobs are in software, web services, and consulting
  • Android development platforms are far more popular than iOS for professional – almost double the amount of developers use them in fact!
  • Enterprise data administrators are, on average, earning $10,000 more than their kin

Now we need your help again to update our initiative for the new trends and trials that 2016 is sure to bring. Here at Packt, it’s all about you. And to help you we’ve created a follow-up survey, asking for participants from all over the world to answer our short questionnaire even if they didn’t take part in our original Skill Up call to arms.

What have you been learning in the last six months? What are you planning on learning in 2016? The answers will help us make sure we can provide you with the content and support that will let you bring your best.

In return for completing our survey you’ll get a copy on the new report’s findings when it’s complete and a fantastic discount for your next eBook or video purchase for just $5! Buy the eBook or video you’ve been wanting and get started on your 2016 learning before the New Year even begins.

So grab a coffee (or a tea if you prefer), click below and relax for 5 minutes whilst you complete our short survey!

Update: The survey is now closed. A huge thank you to everybody who took part! You can find the results of the survey in our 2015 Skill Up report.
