Emma Payan: The 25-year-old who conquers the AI ​​industry!

In recent years, the job prospects for young engineers, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), have improved significantly. Emma Payan, a 25-year-old consultant for data and AI, receives new job offers about LinkedIn every week and enjoys the variety of her possibilities. As a graduate of the École Pour L’Atfellatique et les techniques avancées (epita), she quickly found a permanent job after completing her studies in the summer of 2021.

Emma, ​​who acquired knowledge of data science and AI during her last school years, had initially not thought of a career in consulting. Due to advice from former students from the Épita, who are now working at OnePoint, she decided to explore this path. She appreciates the function of AI as a "great tool" for practical projects and is enthusiastic about the opportunity to work on different initiatives.

The boom of engineering training

In conversation, Emma expresses that she wanted to work in a small, flexible corporate structure, in contrast to large companies in which one is often rejected as too inexperienced. At OnePoint she feels supported and finds that her potential is recognized immediately. Her position at large banks not only gave her practical experience, but also enabled a quick increase in salary.

The realization that the demand for engineers in the AI ​​sector is growing rapidly is confirmed by Sylvain Goussot, the director of the Épita. "The labor market for engineers is phenomenal. The level of employment six months after the end is 93 percent," he explains. For graduates who are two years in the job, this value even increases to 99 percent, with an average salary of 50,500 euros annually, without bonuses. The rise of AI as the main subject is in the focus, since the technology sector is constantly looking for new talents.

Whether digital technologies, cyber security or AI: engineering schools have been training specialists for some time now, which are in high demand in growing industries. No matter how prestigious a university is, the graduates almost always have the certainty to find a job quickly. Often this event even occurs before the conclusion.

It is particularly noteworthy that despite the lack of women in technology subjects, such as in engineering training, stories such as those of Emma are increasingly increasing. Your successful career is not an isolated case, but shows the trend reversal in perception and possibilities for women in the technology industry.

Developments on the labor market and the training opportunities oriented towards increasing needs show that the potential for graduates in AI and related technologies is enormous. Highly qualified specialists who are able to develop innovative solutions are more in demand than ever. The job is booming and the times when engineers fought with difficulties are largely over in this sector.
