How will the salary of programmers change in the future?

With the development of big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the future programmer's salary will present the following characteristics:

First: the shortage of high-end talents (with innovative research and development capabilities) will lead to a continuous increase in wages. At present, the whole IT field is upgrading its industrial structure, which requires a large number of high-end talents to tackle key technical problems and practice in the fields of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. Because the training period of high-end talents such as artificial intelligence is relatively long, the salary and treatment of high-end talents will continue to rise for a long time to come.

Second, the treatment of middle and high-end talents (strong research and development capabilities) has steadily improved. Middle and high-end talents are the main force to promote the development of IT field at present. In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet field, the treatment of middle and high-end talents in the whole industry has been significantly improved. Next, with the development of industrial internet, the treatment of middle and high-end talents in the whole IT industry will keep growing on a stable basis.

Third, low-end talents (application-level development) have limited room for salary increase. The development of industrial internet will inevitably require a large number of low-end talents to flood into industrial application fields. Due to the limited technical content of the post itself and the relatively short training period, the salary and treatment of low-end talents will not be significantly improved. In the traditional IT field, the elimination rate of low-end application-level programmers is often relatively high. With the continuous updating of technology, many application-level programmers choose to change careers because they can't adapt to the new technology.

Judging from the development trend of the IT industry, although a large number of jobs will be released in the IT field in the future, the demand for talents will gradually increase. If you want to go further on the road of programmers in the future, you must take the route of R&D programmers, which not only increases your salary steadily, but also has obvious advantages in your career life cycle.

For college students and junior programmers, graduate school is a good choice.

About the author: Graduate tutor of computer major in Chinese Academy of Sciences, engaged in IT industry for many years. His research interests include dynamic software architecture, big data and artificial intelligence, and he has many years of first-line research and development experience.

Welcome to pay attention to the author and ask questions about computers.

Now the salary of programmers, in my opinion, has some moisture, but compared with the previous five years and ten years, it has been squeezed a lot; In the future, the salary polarization of programmers may be more serious, and the high level is still very high. However, it will be very difficult to participate in an inter-disciplinary programmer training class and find a high-paying job through half a year's training.

Programmers' salaries are not as high as expected.

The entry threshold is getting higher and higher in the future, and the life of low-level programmers has been difficult for nearly ten years. Computer has always been a hot industry, so on the one hand, many college students choose this major, on the other hand, various training institutions are also "mass-producing" software programmers; In my ten years in Beijing, I have seen the most exaggerated time. Non-computer majors can find jobs with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan after entering the training class for half a year, and the monthly salary of job-hopping for half a year is over ten thousand yuan.

But only when the tide goes out can you know who is swimming naked. When the whole industry is not "crazy", chaotic programmers will be eliminated.

Nowadays, when recruiting programmers, more and more companies will look at this person's education, ability and work experience instead of "finding a bowl first". Don't ask, "Can you find a job after graduating from junior high school and attending a programmer training class?" "The 40-year-old computer Xiaobai wants to switch to being a programmer. Is it too late? " .

No problem, but the process must be difficult!

The salary of excellent programmers in the future will still be very high. For a long time to come, there will still be a big gap for programmers, but the industry has changed from "barbaric growth" to "survival of the fittest"; Excellent programmers need persistent learning, and many who can't persist either change careers or accept low salaries;

Because of the particularity of the programmer industry, the programmer's "brain" is the most important means of production. Excellent programmers can achieve "one top five". With the promotion of automation tools, programmers who can only "manual labor" will be gradually eliminated, and the rest are "talents" with high salaries;

Every year, our unit recruits students, and computer graduates from good schools can't "grab". ...

I will continue to share my views on Java development, architecture design, programmer career development and so on, hoping to get everyone's attention.

There is a joke that there is a chain of contempt between programmers. I want to say that when you step into this business, you will find that this is not just a joke, but a real joke.

First, even if they just entered the business, although they are all programmers, the starting salary gap can already be seen clearly. Look at the data of a group of recruitment websites.

The salary of the test

Wages for Java development

Programmers in the direction of artificial intelligence

Is it clear in the picture that the programmer's salary difference is obvious?

Programmers, as you all know, test development is divided into functional work, automation test, performance test and so on. Development is divided into front-end development, back-end development and Java development. And artificial intelligence.

Which is the easiest to get started? Yes, many people know that this is a test. The easiest tester to get started actually only needs you to have the execution ability. Obviously, it is enough to execute test cases, and you don't need to think too much. However, at this time, you can still get a 5,678,000.

Many laymen always think that the salary of IT is very high, and the total annual salary of programmers is one million. No, do you know how big the gap is between excellent programmers and ordinary programmers? Do you know how difficult it is for programmers in different food chains to get promoted and raised? And do you know that there is a big gap between the starting point of low-end programmers and high-end programmers?

Many people always think that it's okay for me to become a programmer without graduating from college. Yes, but because more and more people are coming out of training institutions now, senior HR can basically see from their resumes that they are from training institutions, so you can't even knock at the door at this time. Even if there is, the requirements are very low. This kind of salary is really not high, and it is really limited for your development.

At present, the interviews I have contacted are mainly aimed at test engineers. The recruitment target is 1 junior test engineer between 3 years after graduation. Why don't we want more than three years? First, thinking for more than three years, most of them are fixed, second, the salary is high, and third, most of their abilities are really average. So what will happen? In this way, when you have worked as a junior test engineer for several years, the job-hopping salary will not be very high, and this trend will intensify.

So in the final analysis, there are many low-end and general technologies (that is, general programming ability), and wages cannot rise very high for a long time.

As far as the current market is concerned, programmers have actually begun to polarize. The high salary is calculated according to the annual salary of one million, and the low salary may be less than 65438+ one million. And programmers are not an industry that gets more popular as they get older. They must be people who absorb new knowledge and master new technology, so they can be said to have entered high-end programmers.

Therefore, the salary of programmers will become more and more polarized in the future, because a large number of people who have joined the IT industry, especially those who have just been training for a few months, will find it difficult for you to get in touch with big companies, and even you may have to outsource all the time. At this time, if you work 1 to 3 years, you will find it better than those who just graduated or changed careers, but after working for 5 years, you will find that your salary will not go up.

When there are more and more low-end programmers and even begin to reach saturation, the market price will not have much room for improvement, but those high-end sought-after programmers will definitely get higher and higher salaries, so the salary of programmers in the future will be more polarized than it is now. Companies with a group of high-end programmers will definitely go faster and further, and the more capital they have to attract higher-end programmers.

PS: I screen hundreds of test resumes every week, interview many candidates, and am currently learning test skills.

The income expectation of all occupations, without exception, is related to the rise and fall of their industries. Although the Internet industry has developed for many years, there are still hot spots and new concepts. In addition, the information needs of traditional industries are huge. So the needs of programmers will exist for a long time.

Although many people now enter the industry of programmers, the wastage rate of programmers is even greater. Therefore, in the case of short supply, the income of programmers is still relatively optimistic.

Internet I think the future development direction of IT field must be smart devices and Internet of Things in terms of physics, and internet plus in terms of field, and the future network will become more and more intelligent.

Internet is the connection between network and people. The Internet of Things is the connection between objects and networks, and between people and networks. Sun Zhengyi, an investor in Alibaba, said at the Internet conference: "Today, everyone will have two mobile devices, and in 2020, the number of devices connected by everyone will reach 1000."

The application of the Internet will be more and more extensive, and talents in Python+ artificial intelligence, Java+ big data and game development should be urgently needed in the next three to five years. With the advent of the era of big data, high-end talents in algorithm/research direction will become scarce.

For a junior Java engineer, the salary starts at 8K, not to mention the annual salary of a technical cow CTO is over one million.

The high salary and the large demand of enterprises have made many people flock to it.

20 18 the Ministry of education cancelled many majors.

Why were these majors revoked overnight?

According to authoritative explanation, the main reason is employment.

Many unpopular majors enroll students, which makes it difficult for students to find jobs. And some majors that do not meet the future development direction of the market and have uncertain prospects will eventually be eliminated.

For college students whose majors have been cancelled, there may be a feeling that they have been eliminated by society before graduation ... ",because the cancellation of their majors means that there is little social demand, or it can be said that the social employment rate is low, and they are worried that they will not find a suitable job after graduation.

So, these majors have been revoked,

Now, what new majors are popular?

Although many majors have been cancelled, 2072 undergraduate majors have been added nationwide. Not long ago, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security officially released 13 new occupations, mainly in the high-tech field, which were born out of artificial intelligence and the latest digital technology. Among them, the most popular majors are robot engineering and artificial intelligence.

This is undoubtedly a weather vane.

The Ministry of Education announced the examination and approval results of undergraduate majors in colleges and universities in 20 18 years. Among them, data science and big data technology (196), robot engineering (1kloc-0/), intelligence science and technology (96) and intelligent manufacturing engineering (50) are the four undergraduate majors with the most new records. The newly approved three undergraduate majors are Artificial Intelligence (35), Cyberspace Security (25) and Accounting (13).

In response to market demand, the number of universities specializing in artificial intelligence ranks first. And this major will be enrolled for the first time in China in 20 19.

Python, as a dynamic and object-oriented mainstream scripting language, has been favored by more and more developers because of its advantages of easy learning, free open source, strong portability and high speed. At the same time, Python also has rich libraries and embeddedness, which greatly liberates the developer's labor force and saves a lot of code word time for more advanced thinking. The annual salary of Python development engineers can generally be between 250,000 and 500,000.

Whether it is Java or Python, there will be more and more programmers who will become languages in the future, and their salaries will definitely increase.

Now the it industry is developing in groups, bat, which is the development of ecological chain. Programmers should be regarded as two levels of differentiation in the future.

Programmers vary greatly, and their technical level varies greatly. It's hard to say.

Nothing will change. This is a valuable job that ordinary people cannot do.

The polarization is more serious, and the demand for high-end talents such as artificial intelligence and visual processing is growing, which will lead to rising salaries, and the salaries of ordinary programmers will not be much different from now.
