Career: AI threatens many IT jobs - experts consider these to be future-proof
Hardly any industry is influenced by artificial intelligence as much as the IT sector. What skills will be important for companies in the future - and how much salary they will pay for them.
Dirk Stöckmann, a former miner, has celebrated his 25th anniversary at Cisco, where he started as a systems engineer in 2001. He specialized in data center technologies and obtained one of the most challenging IT certifications, CCIE, which only around 100,000 people worldwide hold. Stöckmann now works as a Hypershield Solutions Engineer, developing security architectures for AI-based IT, and earns a six-figure salary.
He attributes his success to continuous learning and renewal of his CCIE certification every three years. Stöckmann advises those in IT to be curious about technology and willing to learn continuously, especially with the increasing importance of AI.
