Hi Muntazir,
Christmas wishes to you.
Congratulations on completing your Masters. I admire that you're thinking all this before getting into something. Having this mindset to question always helps and that's a good skill. Let me try to give my views and these are my personal views:
It's not the question about whether QlikView keeps you in job and/or Qlik Sense takes the developers' role away. It's the question about how do you embrace the change? Yes, In QlikView you design and develop applications for the users but in Qlik Sense you do other things as a developer which are equally important if not more. There is stiff competition in the market and other big vendors like IBM, Microsoft, SAP and SalesForce are already throwing their hats into BI space, especially In-Memory and self service BI arena. Going back to your question - it's not about the future of QlikView or Qlik Sense developer rather you need to reconsider your question with other tools in the market. Instead, you should look at the new opportunities which Qlik Sense is presenting and there are some exciting learning opportunities. Qlik made wise decision to build Qlik Sense from ground up instead of forcing QlikView to work as Qlik Sense.
QlikView developers come from different backgrounds & skills. Generally speaking, we can divide QlikView developers into two categories: Organic & Tailor-made.Organic QlikView developers come from one of the streams – Traditional BI/ETL Developer, Database Developer, Data Analyst, Excel Developer, Web Developer, Test Analyst, Business Analyst and a DBA. Coming from one of these streams have both advantages and dis-advantages in Qlik world. Tailor-made QlikView developers are budding new developers (like you) who start with QlikView or developers who move to QlikView from non-IT background. Generally, these developers are fresh graduates or first timers who approach QlikView with great enthusiasm & passion.
With Qlik Sense path, the role of traditional QlikView developer will change and you need don't to develop visualization for the users. However, you need to create work on complex data models to create most flexible data model. At the same time, you need to manage the user repository and you will be the custodian of the data. Your role as Qlik Sense developer will be more challenging because you need to embrace API(s) to create mashups and custom visualization. This means you also need to know at least some web development skills like HTML, CSS and the main one is JavaScript. I'm sure all this still keeps the developers on job who embrace the change and learn new technologies!
I hope this helps!
Cheers - DV
