The skills required to fill the needs of these high paying positions are very specific, and it often takes years of training to perfect them. Most are at the managerial level, and many are dealing with the new issue of sprawling data. Let’s take a look at which jobs in the technology industry are offering the best salaries.

Software Architect and Software Development Manager
Still very much the backbone of the IT industry, Software Architects are the people that build the software (and apps) that we use every day. Often writing in C++, Python, Javascript, or any number of languages, it takes a number of years training, debugging, and even failing before Software Architects master their craft. Software Development managers, on the other hand, are those who are able to oversee an entire project, from the time the software is designed until it is fully tested, completed, and sent off to production.

Data Scientists and Architects
As big data continues to expand and more devices find users, the need for data scientists and architects will only continue to grow. No longer just in the world of Access and SQL, data scientists and architects are looking to make data both easier to use (data scientists) and easier to manage (data architects). As the big data fad turns to normalcy, it will be all about “fast data.” These two professions will lead the way to ensuring it is possible to process big data quickly.

Analytics Managers
One the data is processed, normalized, and put into a digestible format, it can still end up being big. This is where Analytics Managers come in. It is their job to gather relevant data and pass it along to marketing, sales, researchers, and decision makers. A good Analytics Manager can ultimately make the difference between a successful product push and one that falls flat on its face!

Systems Architect
None of the above would be possible without a good Systems Architect. No matter if it’s rolling out sweeping group policy changes or performing maintenance on networks to ensure uptime, these employees are like referees in sports; the less you hear their name, the better job they’re doing. If you don’t know who the system architect is at your job, chances are everything is running smoothly!

<![CDATA[How to Silence Your Phone During Sleep and Work]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/silence-phone-sleep-work/ Fri, 19 Aug 2016 13:47:15 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=3054 Sleep is important, but can be difficult to achieve when you phone is constantly buzzing with texts and updates. It doesn’t help that most people keep their phones right next to them while they rest, making it all too easy to check social media and messages when your phone demands it. Try these features to customize your alert systems, which are already on your Android device, or download an app that will cut off contact with the world while you get a much-needed nap.

Notifications

Go to Quick Settings and activate the “Do Not Disturb” feature. From there you can select how complete you want your silence to be; your phone can be completely inactive with total silence, but you can select alarms or “priority” messages to alert you by activating the features in your notifications. You can also set a time limit for your peace, or just let “Do Not Disturb” be in effect until you decide to remove it.

Note that some forms of “Do Not Disturb” one work on Android 6 and above. For previous Android versions, the solution may be as simple as adjusting the volume in your notifications, so make sure you’re aware of which Android version you have and adjust accordingly.

Apps

Android recently released a Do Not Disturb app through Google Play that heightens the efficiency of the initial feature. Users can adjust their priority usage, as well as generate messages to those who text and call, conveying that you will get to them later. This app also has access to your calendar and will activate silence mode in accordance to your sleep and meetings schedule.

For a more sleep-oriented app, Nights Keeper blocks calls and messages from those not on a “white list,” or selected group that lets certain people contact you through this feature. You can also make specialized day and night schedules to maximize productivity and screen time, while opting for repeats in your weekly privacy and changes that fit any schedule.

PSafe

Let PSafe Total ensure that your phone is safe while silent. An Internet Booster closes background apps while your phone is not in use, to protect your information and your monthly data. While your phone is inactive, lock your social media and important apps in PSafe’s Applock to protect against potential threats to your personal information. Rest easy!

There are a variety of job search apps out there, but some are known to be effective for helping users find and secure that perfect position.

Top Apps for Getting You Hired

For the Android device user, Pocket Resume is one of the best apps for helping to land the job that you have always wanted. This app allows you to create and store your resume so that you can send it to potential jobs from your mobile device.

Hidden Jobs is an app that allows users to find out about jobs that are not being advertised in the traditional jobs search outlets. In fact, the app tracks almost 2 million unadvertised jobs that are available from growing businesses. The app gathers its information from company job announcements in magazines, newspapers, company press releases, and online in order to bring the user everything they need to know on the jobs that are available.

JobMo is an app that combines job search engines such as Monster, Indeed, Simply Hired, and The Ladder into one application. There is a significant amount of information available through this app for job seekers, including specific jobs that are available, company information, and information pertaining to the salaries of these jobs.

LinkUp is another great app for those who want to find out about current up opening and apply to them using their mobile device. All of these apps and more can help make the task of finding the right job much easier for the Android user.

PSafe and the Job Search Apps

PSafe can enhance any job seeker’s experience because it offers security and performance solutions to Android users to enhance their user experience while keeping the user’s device safe from malicious threats.

PSafe products can be used in conjunction with job seeker apps in order to speed up internet connections, enhance the memory capability of the device, prevent the device from overheating, and prevent malicious threats.

PSafe Total can enhance a user’s experience while using job seeker apps by: speeding up the internet connection with Internet Booster, optimizing storage space with the Memory Booster, keeping the device from overheating with CPU Cooler, and providing antivirus protection. PSafePRO helps to maximize the battery life of the device by identifying apps that utilize too much of the battery so that they can be removed.

<![CDATA[6 Android Apps to Help You Stay Organized]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/6-android-apps-help-stay-organized/ Wed, 20 Jul 2016 19:56:50 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=2246 1. Evernote

Evernote can serve as your go-to app for all organizational tasks. It allows you to take notes in various formats, including text, photo, audio, video, sketches, and web clippings. Evernote is perfect for creating to-do lists to keep track of everyday activities or your many tasks at work. It also allows you to seamlessly share your ideas with others, which is perfect for working environments.

You can create a presentation and then immediately share it with your colleagues for collaboration. Students can make use of Evernote as well, as it’s ideal for annotating drafts, taking notes, and sharing ideas with peers. Evernote also offers an extension for your desktop.

2. Google Calendar

The Google Calendar app saves you time by automatically adding events in your Gmail account, such as restaurant reservations and concerts, to a calendar on your phone. It also collaborates with any other calendars on your phone so that all of your events are saved in once spot.

4. Google Keep

Google Keep captures your ideas and saves them for later or shares them with friends and family, depending on your preference. Perhaps one of Google Keep’s most interesting features is that it lets you set reminders based on location. That is, if you need to remember to buy toothpaste at the nearby pharmacy, your phone will send you a notification when you walk by it.

5. Tripit

This app gets more specific — it’s designed to manage all of your travel details. Tripit takes all of your travel plans, like hotel reservations, flight reservations, and daily sightseeing itinerary and merges it into one schedule, ensuring that your trip runs smoothly.
