How have the career ladders and elevators in the IT industry changed over the past week?
Someone last week (from May 30 to June 5) presented new career opportunities in the IT industry, and someone deprived of further prospects. Public statements have become loud statements, which, however, have not yet been supported by specific cases.

It is no secret that Israel plays a huge role in the IT industry. A lot of software and hardware technologies, which the whole world now uses, appeared right there. In Israel, there are large divisions of almost all the leading IT companies in the world.
But this time there was a reverse story: an Israeli company has developed an analogue of a well-known social network. Perhaps in Israel, someone will swing at Facebook, but for now the Israelis have limited themselves to LinkedIn.
Analytical platform for marketing and B2B sales Unomy attracted $ 2.4 million investment from LETA Capital, Altair Capital and JanVest. “Israeli LinkedIn” (as they call themselves) will spend this money on expanding the functionality and hiring new sales professionals, says Unomy founder Gal Har-Zvi in ​​a LETA report.
The platform extracts data about companies and employees from unstructured web resources, which are then analyzed using machine learning and NLP. Work is possible both through the platform itself and through an extension for Chrome. Now users have access to information about 5 million companies and 55 million specialists.
LinkedIn is a social network for searching and establishing business contacts. LinkedIn has more than 400 million users (as of the end of 2015), representing 150 business sectors from 200 countries.
And in Russia, the creation of domestic analogues of IT products has recently become not just relevant: it gave the opportunity to many Russian IT companies to become market leaders. Accordingly, those who actively developed in this direction before, are now becoming new “national heroes” and recognized “drummers of IT labor.”
The RBC publication has published a list of 20 businessmen who create a “new Russian economy”. All of them develop companies based on the latest technologies, and also develop industries and markets without relying on commodity services.
The list included Telegram founder Pavel Durov - RBC chose him for promoting encrypted correspondence. The list also included Sergei Belousov, the founder of Acronis and Parallels.
Co-founder of mobile acquiring service 2can & iBox Nikolai Zhmurenko promotes Fintech-sphere, indicates RBC. The head of Kaspersky Lab, Evgeny Kaspersky, was noted for the development of cyber security, and the head of Yandex Data Factory, Evgeny Zavalishin, for his work in the field of data mining.
Founder and CEO of EkzoAtlet Ekaterina Bereziy - for the appearance of accessible exoskeletons on the market.
While mature and sophisticated personnel experience is changing the IT reality across the country, young and fledgling people are looking for opportunities to become part of this reality. It is not surprising that large companies do not get tired of providing them with such opportunities: they need new personnel.
