A new survey of software engineers from careers firm Hired shows they want to learn machine learning, love Python, hate PHP and make a lot of money, especially in San Francisco where search engineer salaries average about $157,000. Furthermore, according to the 2019 State of Software Engineers Report, blockchain engineers are highly sought after, seeing a huge 517 percent year-over-year increase in demand, far exceeding the 132 percent increase in demand for No. 2, security engineers. Hired said it publishes the report to fuel career conversations among developers and to provide data they can use to achieve goals. Topping the list of those goals is learning machine learning. "Machine learning is the No. 1 technology engineers want to learn," the report said.
