Information about the demand for the profession in the labor market. "Labor market

The labor market, like many other markets, is transforming, following the development of technology and changes in various fields of activity. At the moment, the drivers of this transformation are, of course, nanotechnology, robotics, IT and development, artificial intelligence, machine learning, architecture, biotechnology, energy, genetics and medicine. Moreover, they will not develop independently, but complement each other. It is to changes in these areas that the labor market will respond immediately in the near future. The usual office and administrative staff will gradually give way to new professions. And this is a natural development for which we need to prepare now. Engage in training and development of their skills, monitor changes in their profession, adapting to new market trends.

These skills, according to our results, in relation to any of the professions of the future should be programming, modeling, computational thinking, critical thinking, creativity, people management, communication skills, customer focus, negotiation skills, cognitive thinking, multilevel problem solving skills. That is, in addition to technical skills, it will be necessary to have skills related to the work of the brain and the ability to communicate with people.

In the course of our study, we identified those promising professions and professions of the future, which, in our opinion, will become massive in the next 10 years. Our list includes:

  • Bioengineer- a specialist who studies and changes the properties of a living organism (as well as developing new ones) using engineering principles in biology and medicine to solve various medical problems and protect health.
  • - a specialist in the creation, implementation and planting of systems powered by solar and wind energy.
  • Smart environment designer- a specialist in creating technologies for rooms that respond to the actions of their users.
  • Robotics Specialist(including medical) - a specialist in the creation and maintenance of robots for various industries activities, as well as various automated technical systems.
  • - a specialist involved in supporting infrastructure / services and creating protective systems, responsible for the operability, improvement, modernization, security.

  • - creation specialist virtual reality.
  • - a specialist in designing solutions that allow you to "live" in virtual reality.
  • Biopharmacologist- Specialist in the creation of new biological products.

Of course, it is almost impossible to completely predict the professions of the future, and the existing applicants for getting into this list are single professions.

This list can be continued, fantasizing and inventing new professions, but it is the ones listed above that fit all the trends that are now observed in the world.

Many experts with whom we managed to talk also note the influence of the West on the formation of the Russian labor market. In their opinion, those professions that exist or are just emerging in America, with a high degree of probability, will be popular in Russia in 5-10 years.

Research Methodology

Various organizations and media have already published many different ratings and "lists of" professions of the future ". In order not to repeat ourselves and not to compile a similar list, we decided to give our expert assessment and validate candidate positions for getting into these ratings.

To do this, we analyzed 13 different lists and ratings dedicated to promising professions and professions of the future, published over the past three years (6 English-language and 7 Russian-language sources).

At the first stage, we conducted a content analysis, analyzing more than 750 professions that were mentioned in these lists. We removed duplicate positions, and then counted the number of mentions of each profession, thus obtaining a consolidated rating of the professions of the future.

From the final list of professions, in which about 350 items remained, 4 groups were conditionally distinguished based on the rating and expertise:

  • “Old-timer professions” (moderate demand for specialists, but deformation by 2020-2025 and disappearance in our usual form) - they accounted for 26% of existing professions.
  • "Demanded professions" (high demand now and for another 2-3 years, moderate demand will remain until 2025) - 30%.
  • "Promising professions" (high demand for them will appear in 2020-2023) - 25%.
  • "Professions of the future" (high demand will appear after 2024-2025) - 19%.

To the group "Old Professions" We got such familiar positions as designers, environmentalists, accountants, financiers, police officers, marketers, economists, cosmetologists, technicians, auditors, lawyers, nurses, nurses, etc.

Listed "Demanded professions" turned out to be architects information systems, business analysts, HR specialists, developers mobile applications, engineers of various profiles, dentists, analysts, programmers, project managers, game developers, Big data specialists, testers, technicians, electricians, etc.

In Group "Perspective Professions" we identified 15 professions, and in the group "Professions of the Future"- 20 professions that most often met in the composite rating of professions and presented them for evaluation to the members of the HeadHunter League of HR Experts. As a result, 54 interviews were conducted (see Note), in which experts assessed how much they agree that the listed professions are on the lists, gave their arguments on this matter, and also offered their own options for “demanded professions” and “professions future."

In addition, we checked the same lists of professions that were submitted for evaluation by experts against the database of vacancies and resumes HeadHunter whether there have been vacancies or resumes with similar titles in the last two years. Thus, we correlated expert assessments with the real situation on Russian market labor.

Research results

In the “Promising Professions” and “Professions of the Future” groups, the leaders in terms of the number of mentions in existing lists and ratings were the following positions:

Promising professionsProfessions of the future
Urbanistvirtual reality architect
city ​​farmerSpace tourism manager

13 more professions were added to the second group: emotion designer, living systems architect, bioethicist, augmented reality engineer, microorganism designer, cyber investigator, neuropsychologist, alternative energy specialist, agroinformatician / agrocyberneticist, metal skin consultant, unmanned aircraft interface designer, intelligent travel systems and digital addiction treatment specialist.

According to the results of the interview It turned out that by no means all leading professions are assessed by experts as really promising professions or professions of the future.

Positively rated as really promising professions such as 3D printing engineer, bioengineer, renewable energy engineer, smart environment designer. More than 70% of experts noted that they agree that these are promising professions.

The experts who agreed with 3D Printing Engineer, Renewable Energy Engineer, Bioengineer, Smart Environment Designer on the list of professions commented:

  • Veronika Eprikova, HR Director of OOO PO Aquamash (Volgograd): “Because some of these areas are actively developing and there is a high probability of their introduction into the main areas of life. Even if it takes a little longer."
  • Artem Smolyanoy, HR Director, IBS Platformix (Moscow): “It is already clear that these professions are present in the market in one form or another. They have not yet fully taken shape, but some issues that can be attributed to the professional areas I have noted are already being dealt with by specialists from related areas. He also noted that “medical specialists who will be involved in the implantation of various devices into the human body may be in demand. And not only medical devices, but also gadgets.”
  • Konstantin Kulikov, founder of the company "LLC "Kadrovy Portal"" (Volgograd region): "The noted professions are de facto present on the market now. Further development awaits.”

About the same opinion Veronika Eprikova, HR Director of LLC PO Aquamash (Volgograd), adding that engineering and bioengineering professions will be in demand.

With perspective or the “future” of professions such as migrant adaptation specialist, wearable energy designer, urban farmer, urbanist, IT evangelist, our experts disagreed. Moreover, the IT evangelist and the city farmer look like the biggest outsiders here, because. every third expert interviewed noted that he did not agree with the presence of these positions in the promising category.

The experts who disagreed count promising professions urbanist, urban farmer, IT evangelist, argue their position as follows:

  • Alla Gaidukova, HR manager at Prestige-Internet (Voronezh): “I don’t understand where such specialists would be useful.”
  • Alla Koshelkova, head of the recruitment department, Reforming Center LLC (Tolyatti): “The list included specialists related to individual needs, not mass ones. Most likely, they will not receive mass distribution.
  • Sergey Stepanov, HR Director of EDI-Sphere Company (Moscow): "It is not clear what these professions are (I have not met them yet)."

But to a personal profile security consultant, digital currency advisor, 3D ink developer and compositing engineer treated with caution. For example, 33% of experts noted that a digital currency adviser is still an incomprehensible position for them. 31% of those who rated the personal profile security consultant and the 3D ink developer in the same way.

TO "professions of the future" almost all experts carried specialists in robotics, cybersecurity, alternative energy and psychologists, including neuropsychologists. They also believe in bioinformaticians, virtual reality designers and architects, and various planners.

  • Artem Smolyanoy, HR Director, IBS Platformix (Moscow): “It is obvious that today there are people who are involved in both cybersecurity and designing drones, etc. Yes, this has not yet been formalized into separate professions, and specialists from similar fields are dealing with these issues, but since the demand for such goods and services will obviously grow, registration into a separate profession is not far off.”
  • Elena Tolstykh, HR Director of Trio Group LLC (Lipetsk region): “I see the real development of technologies in this area and their application in Russia.”
  • Tatyana Mukhametshina, head of the HR department of the SL Clinic (Kazan): “I mainly noted the specialists of alternative reality. In my opinion, this direction will be actively developed”.

But the position of a space tourism manager, popular in many ratings, according to representatives of the HR industry, will not become the profession of the future. Half of the experts on the list do not agree with this profession. There are also doubts about emotion designers, bioethicists, microorganism designers. The remaining positions received a neutral assessment, i.e. their presence in the ranking of professions of the future has not been confirmed or refuted.

The experts who disagreed consider space tourism manager, emotion designer, metallic skin consultant as "professions of the future":

  • Alla Koshelkova, Head of the Recruitment Department, Reforming Center LLC (Togliatti): “Too narrow focus of specialists in areas that have not yet become widespread.”
  • Dmitry Bekhterev, founder of the company "Always Is!" (G. Nizhny Novgorod), simply said that "these professions are fantastic".
  • Elena Tolstykh, HR Director of Trio GK LLC (Lipetsk Region): “I believe that the professions I have noted will not be in demand precisely in Russian companies due to the catastrophic lag in the development of Russian technologies and systems of organization (management) in business.
  • Alexandra Yakovleva, Tranio Human Resources Manager: "There will be no mass space tourism in the next 15 years."

An analysis of the hh.ru database and the site for vacancies or resumes over the past 2 years showed that only 11 positions can boast of having at least 1 vacancy. At the same time, for some of those professions, whose prospects were not highly evaluated by experts, there were several resumes.

Note:
The survey was conducted from 8 to 10 November 2016 among 54 members of the League of HR Experts HeadHunter from 18 regions of Russia. Moscow was represented by 16 experts, St. Petersburg - 11, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Penza regions - 3 experts each, Altai region, Volgograd and Voronezh, Samara regions and the Republic of Tatarstan - 2 experts each. From other regions - one by one.

The labor market is constantly changing and it is difficult to say what professions will be the most in demand in Russia, for example, in 2020. One can only make assumptions based on analysis and research.

It is especially difficult to make predictions about the so-called women's professions.

About, what professions are in demand in the labor market now, different researchers give conflicting information.

Basically, everyone today strives to become managers, lawyers, economists, specialists in international relations.

These specialties are in demand in the labor market, but great amount specialists trained in these areas minimize the likelihood of getting a job without problems, while employers have the opportunity to increase qualification requirements to applicants.

If you compose list of in-demand professions for women on the this moment, taking into account the research of specialists and the state order for specialties, it will look something like this:

- educators, teachers in secondary schools, schools. This is traditionally a women's patrimony in the labor market, but due to some transformations in the education industry, today there are not very many who want to go there to work. And wages in education leave much to be desired;

- medical workers. In this industry, things are the same as in education. The shortage of nurses and junior service personnel is especially acute. The staff of clinicians has been reduced. Many specializations are in danger of disappearing due to the fact that soon there will be no one to work;

— engineers. This applies to both men and women. Without a powerful engineering corps, technological and, consequently, technical development is impossible;

- IT specialists. There is a catastrophic shortage of personnel. Most of the workers in this field are self-taught, or their qualifications leave much to be desired. The latter happens because domestic system education is not adapted to the modern requirements of the field of IT technologies and does not keep pace with its rapid development;

- Specialists in the field of nanotechnology. The shortage of qualified personnel in this area is due to the fact that only a few educational institutions. This direction is promising and is only gaining momentum;

- Service workers. Here the list is huge, starting with the hairdresser, ending with realtors. The demand for professions is due to the active development of the service sector;

- Specialists in the field of advertising and PR. This area of ​​activity is ambiguous. It is not enough to have a diploma attesting to education here, it is necessary to have creative thinking; Not everyone will master this specialty. It is perfect for purposeful, creative women and girls;

- marketers. The market today offers a huge number of products, for the successful promotion of which it is necessary to conduct research and make forecasts about what are the market prospects for a particular product. The shortage of specialists in this area is due to the fact that educational institutions have recently mastered this area and have not yet saturated the market with trained personnel;

- ecologists. The popularity of the specialty was determined by global trends aimed at minimizing the negative impact on the ecological system of our planet;

— psychologists, incl. family. This fashion trend came to us from the West and today is steadily gaining popularity in the post-Soviet space.

This is perhaps the most demanded professions in the labor market in Russia for the female half of the population. The following list answers the question: “What professions are in demand in Russia?” generally throughout the country. If we consider the situation in specific regions, it will change.

Demanded working professions in most regions of Russia, as a rule, they refer to warehouse workers, motor transport enterprises, car services and construction sites. And their popularity is almost equal. It is easier to get a job as a storekeeper or a loader, but do not forget that their wages are much lower than those of builders, drivers and auto mechanics, and there are practically no prospects for growth.

In order to become a specialist in the field of construction, you need to get a specialized education and constantly monitor the latest in the profession market. Sometimes a professional team of narrow-profile builders earns no less than successful businessmen and, due to their fame, dictates the price of their work, which attracts larger customers, and this is already a significant plus in choosing such a profession.

Unfortunately, such a thing as a professional loader or storekeeper is absurd, although warehouse managers can make good money.

Getting one or another profession is the personal choice of each person, and such a choice should be taken carefully. If you are a representative of an in-demand labor market working profession, then some work experience is very important. Since the market is oversaturated with vacancies for working professions, you can choose more suitable working conditions for yourself.

What professions will be in demand in 5 years?

It is difficult to make any forecasts on such a question, since the modern labor market is very flexible and dynamic, and directly depends on the macroeconomic situation and the direction of technology development. But, on the other hand, it is rather static, since the reorganization of the areas of vocational training in educational institutions takes quite a lot of time.

Today, all trends point to the fact that professions in demand for the female half of the population in 5 years will remain the same as above. First place will be:

  • engineers;
  • specialists in the field of advertising and PR;
  • service workers;
  • builders.

The last specialty will be almost 100 percent in high demand in a few years, especially in Russia. This is due to the fact that the demographic situation, although at a slow pace, is beginning to improve.

The increase in population necessitates the construction of housing. In addition, the outdated housing stock requires at least partial renovation.

Demand for construction specialties will increase the development of businesses that need facilities commercial activities: business centers, warehouses, retail space, industrial premises.

But in the first place will still be professions related to intellectual labor. This situation is natural, since Russia is gradually moving from the industrial to the information stage of development.

One of the most demanded will be specialties related to service industry. These professions can be called eternal: services are needed by everyone and always.

Answering the question: What professions will be in demand in 2020?, it is necessary to list those specialties that will remain, as they say, out of work. In this case, it is easier to make predictions. It is enough to list the professions in which educational institutions have already provided the market for many years and continue to produce specialists in these areas:

To the question, “Why will office workers not be in demand, because the business is developing, and, accordingly, the need for such personnel is increasing?” you can answer that they will play a cruel joke with him new technologies, which will maximize the optimization of the work of organizations and reduce the use of human resources by employers.

Also under the threat of extinction, according to experts, was journalism in the classical sense of the field. This is especially true for the print media, they have already lost their relevance in terms of the source of information.

The same fate awaits radio, which is rebuilt in an entertaining way, leaving the information function as short news blocks.

The only source of information that is in demand equally with the Internet remains the television.

To upload information to the network, you do not need to have a diploma in journalism, and this is still a zone without censorship, which brings the Internet to a leading position.

Thus, when choosing the direction of training, the future specialty, it is necessary to take into account current trends, get acquainted with research and independently analyze the information received.

What profession is the most demanded and highly paid?

For Russia, the answer to this question is ambiguous, because the demand for a profession and wages are different concepts in our country, unlike Western countries. For instance, The most demanded professions are engineering and teaching. but they are among the lowest paid.

At the same time, workers oil and gas industry and top managers get high wages but not as much in demand.

So the most demanded and highly paid professions in Russia almost impossible to define clearly.

In such cases, it is necessary to resort to the help of mathematics, namely, to derive the arithmetic mean. As a result, it turns out that this is a profession IT specialist, programmer.

This is in line with general global trends, since the development of technology requires writing software, its modernization and maintenance. This trend can also be seen as the most promising.

What are the most in-demand professions in the world?

The word "world" here refers to the most advanced labor markets: Europe, USA. This is due to the fact that you can get a clear concrete answer to this question, since labor markets are subject to systematic research and the list of demanded specialties is quite clear.

It is quite difficult to monitor the African labor market. It can be assumed that everything will depend on the degree economic development country.

What does it look like list of leading professions for Europe and the USA:

  • financial expert;
  • pharmacist;
  • software security specialist;
  • specialists in the field of advertising and PR-technologies;
  • IT specialists;
  • managers in the field of tourism and hotel business;
  • mathematics teachers;
  • managers, office administrative staff.

List of in-demand professions in Western countries can be considered very conditionally global. On other continents, it may be completely different. But in the above lists, one can find similarities in terms of the demand for specialties related to technology development, PR and advertising. These directions can be called promising on a global scale. These are professions that will be in demand in the future.

This situation shows that Russia is a full-fledged participant in world economic and scientific processes.

Exotic professions in demand in Russia.

These include:

  1. Boogie-woogie coach;
  2. Sports shoe tester;
  3. Floating drilling rig captain;
  4. Cattle slaughterer;
  5. Carcass specialist.

All these vacancies are quite real, employers offer job seekers a decent salary and a full social package. Considering that there are no training courses in educational institutions for most specialties, the main requirement is that candidates have higher education.

It should be noted that foreign companies are trendsetters for exotic specialties, not counting the last 3 items on the list.

Although they cannot be called truly in demand, since offers from employers are of a single nature.

Given the active integration Russian Federation into world processes, we can expect that by 2020 the list of official professions will be replenished with new names that are still unknown today.


Comments

    Weird? There are millions of different employees in the accounting system in education of all profiles in all professions, various ministries in the state there is no state order for secondary and higher educational institutions in preparation professional specialists. It turns out a strange system in which millions of citizens receive certain professions, but actually work in completely different industries. Years of a short life are wasted because of imperfect public administration. In fact, we have public administration managers with diplomas of the USSR, in fact without knowledge of the economy and politics of managing a new state system in an eternal experiment.
    I worked in the system of general and vocational secondary education for 37 years, also as an inspector of the city administration. I affirm: the system of general and vocational education does not provide individuals with knowledge of combining personal capabilities and the needs of the state in obtaining a profession and the market labor resources. In the state, labor resources do not have accounting and orders. In fact: the state does not dispose of labor resources, there is no need? In the system of education and science, an order is required for the training of professionals from the state and the availability of an order from all employers, with qualification requirements. Without taking into account labor resources professional requirement to the system of vocational education, the development of the state is impossible. Because the education of citizens is the basis of all science, industry, Agriculture, everything and everyone in the state of the future, created today.
    The government is not educated, from educated modern management specialists, in fact, many of them are random people.

    “The labor market is constantly changing and it is difficult to say which professions will be the most in demand in Russia, for example, in 2020. One can only make assumptions based on analysis and research.”
    It is not at all difficult to say, because there are no such specialists in analysis and research in the scientific community. How many builders have been trained in the state since 1992, which professionals, teachers, which professionals, and all other professions How many work in professions acquired in the education system, how many work according to the resources of compliance and non-compliance with education. In this analysis, we get the result. Education in the Russian Federation rides on a cart, in the requirements of the release of all categories of goods of modern production. With such an education, the Russian Federation will forever buy more than sell. covering the deficit by selling natural resources. Where are the Russian household appliances and machines of the entire production complex! Where are the production of medical equipment and medicines. Where is the Russian industrial equipment and production? You can continue indefinitely. Where is modern teaching equipment in the education system? There is a school near my house, at school there is an electronic large screen with control panels educational process available electronic textbooks.
    In the Russian Federation today, paper textbooks are the basis, paper training in the requirements of various OGE and EGE. Again, the same requirements for everything and everything. Until now, the system has been working according to a single plan for the selection of knowledge in all subjects for certificates. Forgot that the inventor of the Internet did not finish high school and university. Education in the Russian Federation does not determine personality professional education according to the possibilities of the personality of individual intellect. A person can be the greatest scientist without having knowledge of the general subjects of the certificate of requirements.

    The labor market does not change by itself, the labor market changes according to the requirements of production, science, all business sectors.
    Each ministry, production, all industries, agriculture and so on has its own labor market. If the ministries and the Government do not know the resources of the needs of the labor market, then there is nothing to dream about, there is no development, which is happening in reality.

Always willing to accept the right decision in order to subsequently find themselves in the labor market without any problems. Moreover, you need to think strategically for several years ahead, because it takes time to get an education, change qualifications and acquire new skills.

The biggest difficulties arise if a person has no personal preferences. In such situations, it is customary to focus on market conditions, which is not entirely true. After all, work should be fun.

Popular and always needed specialties

There are professions that are in demand regardless of the historical period, fashion and other factors. These are the types of activities that help to realize social function states. These positions include:

  • doctors and medical workers;
  • pharmacists;
  • teachers and lecturers;
  • firefighters;
  • policemen;
  • workers employed in the sphere of housing and communal services.

The most demanded professions are not always highly paid. V last years public policy built in such a way that people employed in these areas receive a decent income. Having made a choice in favor of such professions, there is no doubt that you will find an application in the labor market.

Latest trends

In order to make a decision about joining a profession, you can study the results of labor market research. Sociological data show that the TOP options among the vacancies posted by the employer include the following specialties:

  • Engineers and specialists in technical professions, which are usually needed for companies and organizations engaged in construction, high technology industries, and in industry. In recent years, they are the highest paid.
  • IT-specialists whose knowledge is needed both for organizing the work of offices, and for building an Internet business, and for promoting a company.
  • Ecologists and specialists in the field of labor protection. From the side of the state, the requirements for conducting activities that can cause potential harm are increasing environment or the health of workers. In order not to pay huge fines and line up correctly internal activities organizations are in need of appropriate specialists. It is useful to know which enterprises in the city have already attracted young employees in order to understand whether it is worth retraining.
  • Teachers and kindergarten teachers. Basically, the low demand from applicants for these positions is associated with low salary. But few people know that when building a career in this system, you can quickly move to a new level. This will allow you to get more than, for example, in trade. If we recall the pleasant bonus from the legislation on an almost two-month paid annual leave, it becomes clear why such positions are increasingly in demand among young people.
  • Medical staff. These are far from highly paid positions, but they are necessary for organizing the treatment process. Such positions are suitable for those who have no education, who want to have social guarantees and do some good deeds.
  • Chemists and physicists who can perform applied or fundamental tasks. Which one to choose, everyone decides for himself. After all fundamental research lead to the acquisition of completely new knowledge, which is then in demand in many areas of activity. Having such experience, a specialist will easily find a job in the market.
  • Logisticians who allow you to optimize storage space, transportation of goods and goods, so that the organization receives a higher profitability of its activities.

Jobs that are in danger of disappearing

Specialists involved in the study of the processes of the personnel market are making forecasts regarding which professions may soon disappear altogether. Even from the job classifier.

The Agency for Strategic Initiatives in its forecasts sees no point in focusing on such positions:

  • Notaries, since most of the processes are transferred online, and distribution digital signature makes their work irrelevant.
  • Postmen, who can be partially replaced courier services. It is customary to write letters more via the Internet, so soon this profession will only be read or heard on excursions.
  • Cashiers. It is believed that their work functions will be able to perform computer systems, and the transition to bank cards will make it possible to do without such specialists. But you need to understand that this will not happen soon. After all, the proportion of those who like to pay in cash is still too high.
  • Printers and printers. The most unique specialists in the field of printing in connection with low demand for printed editions are forced to retrain. Advances in technology make it possible to manufacture products with fewer employees. The abundance of online books has also led to the fact that highly paid specialists in the past are forced to find other uses for their strengths.
  • Travel agents also entered the TOP of irrelevant professions in the future. It is believed that with the help of online booking systems, customers will be able to work directly with tour operators or with market participants in the hospitality industry. The need for intermediaries will disappear by itself.

Who is needed in the future?

Seeing the future is not as difficult as it seems. Quite easily, specialists conducting research on employment issues can determine where the departure of personnel due to age will occur, create relationships between the development of the economy and the market. What professions will be popular in five or ten years?

The most non-standard and popular among them:

  • Urbanists. These are specialists who are busy creating the urban look and infrastructure.
  • Biotechnologists and bioengineers, who will bear the burden of finding means to prolong life, remove harmful substances from the body, rejuvenate, fight against oncological diseases etc.
  • Engineers in the field of non-traditional energy. There will be fewer and fewer sources of energy, and in order to save humanity, you need to learn how to use alternatives.
  • Workers in the security sector, including information. The availability of digital data and the ease of penetrating foreign territory increase the demand for countermeasures. Such specialists will find application both in the field of company security, and in the development of household appliances and protection schemes.

The TOP of those who will find a use for themselves in the future also includes:

The question "Where to go to study?" stands before graduates sharply: often, when they enter an educational institution, they do not fully understand what kind of profession they choose. This misunderstanding may persist until graduation.

You can get a bachelor's degree in a new field for yourself, continue your specialized studies in a master's program or take intensive professional courses in their specialty.

For those who do not want to leave their country forever, studying at a foreign university is an excellent experience and an important advantage for employment in Russia, especially since many foreign universities teach narrow specialties that are Russian universities not yet.
