As reported by RFI, according to surveys, 42% of young professionals in France plan to change careers. For various reasons – unemployment, poorly paid work, stress, and so on. How, when changing professions, not to make a mistake a second time? An international firm specializing in recruitment has published a list of the seven most in-demand and well-paid specialties.
1. Due to the ongoing complexity of labor law, payroll accountants are in high demand at large enterprises. In HR departments, the specialty of a manager who calculates salaries is becoming more complex year by year. Young specialists in this field can expect 25 thousand euros per year, with subsequent growth to 36 thousand after five years of career.
2. Production management control ranks second to last among the most in-demand professions. Graduates of business schools can expect to earn from 33 thousand euros per year in this position, with subsequent growth to 75 thousand.
3. In the financial sector, the demand for financial controllers is growing. This complex work, as Le Figaro writes, requires mandatory knowledge of English and computer science. But the compensation matches the work: 80 thousand euros per year are guaranteed for experienced specialists. In addition, financial controllers can later become administrative or financial directors of enterprises.
4. 'HR Business Partner'. This profession involves consulting services to employee relations managers, organizing the enterprise's strategy in recruiting and managing personnel. In addition to knowledge in economics, specialists must have a good understanding of labor and civil law, and then they can expect compensation of 80 thousand euros per year with subsequent career growth to director of human resources.
5. Information systems management has been in the top three most popular professions for several years in a row. Recently, large French enterprises have been investing considerable funds in the development and optimization of their information systems, hiring software engineers. Unlike developers (or software developers), DevOps engineers stand between the program and its end users. At the enterprise, they must ensure the uninterrupted operation of information systems and receive about 60 thousand euros per year for this.
6. Director of Strategy or Head of Brand content is a popular specialty at enterprises specializing in the production of luxury goods. A good specialist in this field can hope for compensation of up to 85 thousand euros per year.
7. The most in-demand specialty in France does not require long years of study; two years of technical school is enough to easily find a job as a post-sales service assistant. As a rule, these people deal with dissatisfied customers complaining about a purchased product. Therefore, specialists in this field need a lot of patience and very little technical knowledge. And then they can with a clear conscience receive a salary of 30 thousand euros per year.
