People Are Reskilling to Get Better Salaries

Another growing trend in the tech sector is acquiring more skills and opting for better jobs. The idea is to obtain high-paying salaries to cope with inflation and high living costs. That's why they're opting to join coding boot-camps, get a bachelor's degree, or enrolling in on-the-job training to enrich their resume.
