Big-Data Analyst
Big Data is in and there is no denying that this field as taken to the extreme within no time in the recent past.
While a Big Data scientist needs various capabilities and skills to analyze various data sources, a big data analyst on the other hand performs data analysis on a particular system only. In short, a Big Data analyst is some sort of an assistant to the Big Data scientist.
Grigorakakis said, “These occupations have taken off like crazy in the last two or three years, explaining that "this skill set is extremely hard to find. This is a skill set that definitely didn't exist 25 years ago; it didn't even exist five years ago."
Cloud-Computing Workers
Just as cloud computing has been a game-changer for many companies; it is also changing the nature of jobs—not only within the information technology department, but in other parts of the enterprise as well. 
Cloud computing professional will provide expertise, design, engineering, troubleshooting of the cloud environment and collaborate with project managers and engineers to ensure that the best practices are followed and applied.
"Cloud computing is enabling companies to do more with their IT spending than they could have 10 years ago because they don't have to put out huge capital investment," said Grigorakakis. "For small start-ups, the cloud has been huge."
