and you strive to do something big
in your life, searching for growth
options must be an integral part of your
life. Looking at the market trends and
analysing the growing companies' hunting
for new talent- this could be of some great
help if you are looking to make a switch.
Working on the same line, analysing the
engineering marketplace for the last 12
months, Riviera has and observed and
tabulated some trends regarding the
salaries of software engineers.
During the study, over the period of one
year, the salary figures of software
engineers was looked at and some
interesting finding were compiled. The
average salaries when sorted by company
funding stage, it was found that software
engineers get paid the most by Series B
funded companies.
Talking about the highest paying skills of
a software engineer– it was found that
languages like Java, JS, Ruby and Python
are the ones helping the people to earn fat
pay-cheques.
Enough about the skills and companies-
Which schools are producing the most in-
demand crop of software engineers? This
list is dominated by UC Berkeley, followed
by USC and Stanford.
In the study, it was found that the top
reason why a software engineer leaves
his/her job remains the fact that he/she
doesn't find the job challenging enough.
Other major factors include vague
direction of the company, poor product
performance and laying off.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.

It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it?
