Top IT Job Opportunities in Metaverse

 The metaverse has the potential to transform how people interact with everything from content consumption to their 9-to-5 jobs. With five billion users, Metaverse's immersive digital worlds in which people can interact as avatars could be worth up to $13 trillion by 2030. In other words, the future is rapidly approaching, and tech companies such as Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook), Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet will require talent from a variety of fields to enable the metaverse. A few of the most credible sources identified six fields that will be required in the creation of the metaverse, ranging from augmented reality and virtual reality artists to non-tech jobs such as architects, whose expertise will be valued in creating life-like digital worlds.

Metaverse users may be able to touch, taste, and smell virtual worlds in addition to seeing and hearing them.

The metaverse even extends to the entire internet, as advances in meta technology change how people interact with digital tools. This evolution is known as Web 3.0 — the internet is currently in its second phase, but Merry believes the shift is imminent. Meanwhile, various engineers and developers will be in high demand. Here are six occupations that will enable the metaverse to exist.

What is the Metaverse?

Before we get into what kinds of jobs you can get in the Metaverse, it's important to understand what the Metaverse is. The Metaverse is thought to be the next major evolution of the internet.

According to tech blogs, Metaverse will be a $13 trillion market with over 5 billion users by 2030.

Instead of web pages, applications, and other such things, there will be "spaces." With the help of VR and AR technologies, you can be virtually present inside these spaces and feel like you're there. Another advantage of these spaces is that you will be able to own them as NFTs. These NFTs can represent virtual lands, houses, clothes, items, and almost anything else in the Metaverse. You could own your own home, live in it, sell it for a profit, and do a variety of other things. It's almost like an internet recreation of real life.

There are a variety of jobs available in the Metaverse, so let's take a look at some of them:

VR Software Engineers

Metaverse is all about developing virtual reality software that allows users to immerse themselves in a 3D virtual reality world. As the Metaverse evolves, companies will require more software engineers in AR/VR fields. As a software engineer, this field will boom and create a lot of jobs, thanks to big tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Apple that consider themselves to be pushing forward for the future of software engineers. It will also result in the creation of jobs for Extended reality (XR) and Mixed reality.
