Top 10 Tech Skills that will get you $110,000 plus salary

IT seems to be an interesting career option for the guys who live in the tech world. There are many opportunities now for the IT skills.

Job site Dice.com recently announced its survey of highest paying IT jobs of 2015.

Here is the list:

1. PaaS ($130,081): PaaS or "Platform as a service" is a type of cloud computing technology. It hosts everything that a developer need to write an app. These once written, would live on PaaS cloud.

PaaS is a huge trend in development right now.

2. Cassandra ($128,646): Cassandra is a free and open source NoSQL database.

It's a kind of database that can handle and store data of different types and sizes of data and it's increasingly the go-to database for mobile and cloud applications. Several IT companies including Apple and Netflix use Cassandra. 

Pay for Cassandra-associated jobs has climbed 14.5% over last year, Dice says

3. MapReduce ($127,315): MapReduce has been called "the heart of Hadoop."

MapReduce is the method that allows Hadoop to store all kinds of data across many low-cost computer servers. To get meaningful data of Hadoop, a programmer writes software programs (often in the popular language, Java) for MapReduce.

Pay for MapReduce-associated jobs has climbed 11% over last year, Dice says. It has over 500 job listings for it.

4. Cloudera ($126,816): Cloudera is a company that makes a commercial version of Hadoop.

Although Hadoop is a free and open-source-project for storing large amounts of data on inexpensive computer servers, the free version of Hadoop is not easy to use. Several companies have created friendlier versions of Hadoop, and Cloudera is arguably the most popular one.

Pay for Cloudera-associated jobs has climbed 20% over the last year, Dice says.

5. Hbase ($126,369): Hbase is yet another project based on the popular Hadoop technology.

Hadoop is a way to store all kinds of data across many low-cost computer servers. Once that data is stored using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Hbase can sort through that data and group bits of data together, somewhat similar to how a traditional database organizes data.

Pay for Hbase-associated jobs has climbed 20% over last year, Dice says. It has over 660 job listings for it.

6. Pig ($124,563): Pig is another hot skill, thanks to demand for technologies like Big Data and Hadoop.

Pig is a programming language that helps extract information from Hadoop like find answers to certain questions or otherwise use the data.

Pay for Pig-associated jobs climbed 13% over the last year, as per Dice.

7. ABAP ($124,262): Advanced Business Application Programming or ABAP is the software language developed by SAP for building business applications on top of its business application suite.

Businesses often want to write custom apps that make use of the data stored in SAP. Developers also write commercial apps for SAP.

Pay for ABAP-associated jobs jumped by 24% over the last year, reveals Dice survey.

8. Chef ($123,458): Chef is "IT automation" software from Chef Software, one of a handful of young companies ushering in a huge new tech trend called "DevOps."

DevOps is when the developers building applications ("dev") and IT people deploying them (operations or "ops") work together to use speedy techniques so they can deploy technology as fast as it's released. Chef helps IT professionals automate tasks that keep computer servers running efficiently.

Dice has over 1200 Chef-associated job listings.

9. Flume ($123,186): Flume is yet another skill spawned from Big data" craze and the popularity of Hadoop.

Hadoop is a way to store all kinds of data across many low-cost computer servers. Flume is a method to move massive amounts of data from the place it was created into a Hadoop system.

Dice has over 150 job listings for Flume-related jobs.

10. Hadoop ($121,313): Hadoop is a crucial technology at the center of the whole Big Data.

It is an open source software used to gather and store vast amounts of data and analyze it on low-cost commodity hardware. For instance, banks may use Hadoop for fraud detection, and online shopping services could use it to analyze customers' buying patterns.

Pay for Hadoop-associated jobs saw an increase of 11.6% over the last year, Dice says.
