Regarding programmers, in recent years, the Internet has been flooded with topics like this:
Programmer is a high-risk profession
Programmer is a youth fan
When programmers reach 35 years old, no unit is willing to ask for them
……
As far as the domestic environment is concerned, we rarely see or hear that we still insist on first-line coding when we are 50 years old. There is also little information like this. On the contrary, in recent years, many companies have rejected older programmers, which will cause people to unconsciously. Programmers eat youthful meals. Older programmers either switch to management or change careers. It has a future.
It is generally believed that programmers eat youth meals. It is generally believed that after the age of 30, programmers can’t work over the night, and it is difficult to write code. Therefore, programmers are youth meals and must be transferred to management positions or change careers as soon as possible. Way out.
I don't agree with this view very much. Xiao Ai has a colleague who is almost 50 years old now. This year his children have all gone to college, and they still insist on writing code in the front line.
You might say that this is just an example and does not represent the whole.
Indeed, this is an example.
But saying that you can't write code at the age of 30, Xiao Ai disagrees. There are many 30-year-old programmers around Xiao Ai, and they still insist on first-line coding.
There are many senior developers around me who have switched to management, but for various reasons, they have switched back to doing technology and feel that doing technology is more practical. Not everyone has the opportunity to switch from technology to management, and not everyone is happy to do management.
Senior technical personnel are very rare talents for the company, and it can be said that they are indispensable for the company's development.
Salary and benefits are also very attractive.
It is inevitable that programmers are young people. Sometimes, it is inevitable to envy doctors, accountants, and lawyers. I think these industries are more popular as they become older. People in these industries will feel more secure in their middle age.
In fact, Xiao Ai just saw the news that the director of the hospital was forced to leave at the age of 50, and the retired cadre was changed to a worker.
50 years old, for a doctor, is when the business is mature. But at this time, people are required to retire early. Who can accept it?
Is it difficult to train a doctor?
The answer is obvious.
Similarly, programmers are not easy. When you just graduated, you have insufficient experience and you will inevitably run into a wall when you find a job, because many employers need to have experience. Well, when you have experience, people will dislike you when you are old. This seems a bit contradictory.
In this regard, it is difficult for doctors who are required to retire early to accept early retirement arrangements. "It will be my regret to take off the white coat now."
Right, laymen admire the doctor profession, which is very popular. No, people are also facing unemployment.
In this regard, what Xiao Ai wants to say is that every industry has its own difficulties.
Doctors are required to retire at the age of 50 early, so that the hospital can save 600,000 per person.
After all, it is still a matter of labor costs.
If it is the tolerance of the job market, I don't think everyone will be such a topic like the audience.
I mentioned the development direction of programmers in the article " How much is a programmer's monthly salary? "
There are generally 5 development directions for programmers:
Technical Junior Engineer->Intermediate Engineer->Senior Engineer->Architect->Technical Director->CTO
Management Software Engineer->Project Team Leader->Project Manager->Project Director->Technical Director->CTO
Intersection Junior Engineer->Intermediate Engineer->Project Manager->Technical Director->CTO
Transfer engineer -> product manager, design, sales staff, operations, etc.
Start a business
I don’t know if programmers are young people, but I know programmers are technical jobs.
Older programmers are not necessarily good, but good programmers are generally not young, and you have not seen them.
If one day you stop working as a programmer, what kind of career would you choose to make a living?
