Summary
Our initial research provided some insights into the most competitive technical roles in the United States and where they are concentrated (top, large tech, Large, non-tech companies, or small and medium-sized companies). As there was no geographic focus provided to us, we are assuming a US focus. If a more broad approach is desired, for example, a global focus, this would have to be clearly communicated to us in any reply. We would also want a better understanding of the contextual meaning of “economy companies” to help with the research. We advise selecting from the below listed proposed next steps (PNS) to help us complete the project.
