The market for mid-to-high-end test engineers is bullish, what can we do, is to strive to be among the mid- to high-end, so hehe, a news article is reproduced below:
With the development of China’s software market, its potential and opportunities have far surpassed that of the “software kingdom” India. Although more and more foreign funds are being invested in, the development of my country’s software industry is encountering a “bottleneck” due to serious shortages of talents and other issues. .
At the 2007 Shanghai Software Outsourcing International Summit held recently, experts at the conference called for cultivating senior and middle-level software outsourcing professionals in my country to be the top priority.
The market is internationalized and the demand for talents is large
According to reports, there are currently 150,000 employees in the software industry in Shanghai, and the software industry’s operating income this year is expected to exceed 80 billion yuan. At the same time, there are more than 200 software export companies that have registered, with exports reaching 990 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 49.7%. , But its growth momentum still pales in comparison with the momentum of a large number of domestic and foreign software giants gathering in Shanghai.
Major global companies such as SAP and Microsoft have already entered China. Together with the large number of small and medium-sized software development companies in China, this constitutes a large-scale employer group in the software industry in Shanghai and the whole country. According to industry forecast data from the Ministry of Information Industry, in 2010, China’s software industry sales revenue is expected to reach 1.3 trillion yuan, and the annual growth rate in the next few years will not be less than 30%. In this situation, the demand for talents will continue to increase.
"In the next 3 to 5 years, the shortage of software talents in Shanghai will be very large." Facing the thriving Shanghai software industry, Ju Dehua, a professor at East China University of Science and Technology and a researcher at the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that he also has "happiness troubles." According to reports, the current predicament of the software and service outsourcing industry is caused by the gap in various resources between regions. The most important reason why Shanghai has become an outsourcing center for many multinational companies is the substantial reduction in costs. The current rapid agglomeration of companies in Shanghai has caused a relatively tight supply of human resources. The total amount of software talents is insufficient, and the demand is far greater than the supply Very prominent, in fact, it also raises their operating costs in disguise.
Currently the most lack of mid-senior professional talents
At the 2007 Shanghai Software Outsourcing International Summit, Gu Dehua said that the future economic competition is ultimately the competition of human resources. In order to fundamentally improve the core competitiveness of my country's IT outsourcing services, professional education of software outsourcing talents should be realized. He believes that at present, my country's software outsourcing lacks middle and senior talents, so cultivating middle and senior professionals is the key.
In this regard, software entrepreneurs are deeply moved. Xu Xin, vice president of Wicresoft, said that now Shanghai software outsourcing is moving out of the simple ITO (information technology outsourcing) model, BPO (business process outsourcing) has gradually become the mainstream, and some high value-added outsourcing businesses such as risk management and financial analysis Etc. have entered China, which requires a large number of system analysts, architects, senior engineers, project managers, and software management compound talents. However, the current talent structure and quantity in Shanghai cannot meet the needs of these high-level talents. Demand.
A Ms. Zhao who came specially from Ningbo sighed to the "Daily Economic News": "Ningbo has a large amount of private capital gathering in the software outsourcing market, but it cannot find high-end talents, which makes capital investment unfavorable." She said. People need to be proficient in one or two foreign languages, have team management skills, be familiar with one or two professional fields such as banking, securities, etc., and also have a high professionalism. At the same time, she also admitted that such talents need at least 5-8 years of practice to create, and software outsourcing companies have long been unable to get rid of the old problem of brain drain, which also makes companies reluctant to train high-end talents on their own.
"This is the lack of continuing education." Gu Dehua believes that, compared with India, the most lack of software talent training in China is the continuing education system. After software talents graduate from school, they may only learn new technologies from certain companies. "Hearings are heard" at the press conference, and thorough and systematic learning cannot be carried out. At present, there is a structural imbalance in Shanghai: on the one hand, a large number of computer talents are cultivated every year, on the other hand, many university graduates disdain to enter software outsourcing companies to do software application work. Although most software businesses, especially those related to securities and banking systems, more than 90% are applied work, and R&D accounts for only a small part, but graduates with high self-esteem are eager to directly engage in R&D, which is misunderstood by the public Influence, that software outsourcing is a blue-collar job. "China's software development must recognize the problem of professional development earlier. Maybe it is an opportunity for us to catch up with the developed countries in the West." He said.
Recruitment focus: software test engineer
Who are you missing? Just grab an IT company's HR and ask, that person must sigh up to the sky and answer 100%: "Software testers!" In recent years, software testers have quickly become popular, and they are the most popular talents in IT companies today. Talents, animation talents, etc. have become the current national key training targets. Although the number of computer graduates has increased in recent years, and many training institutions have increased their surprise training efforts, there has been a serious surplus of certain talents in the IT industry. However, software test engineers, programmers, and system analysts in the main professions are very popular among enterprises and have been ranked among the top three in the "newest requirements".
"Software testing engineer is a profession that gets older and more popular." Zheng Renjie, a well-known software testing expert and professor at Tsinghua University, said that software testing is a check on quality, including technical and management work. The work is relatively stable. There is no age limit.
There is a shortage of talents, and salaries have risen all the way. "I graduated in July this year and found a job in June. Now I have an annual income of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan." Huang Yong, who works for a well-known IT company, is very satisfied with his current salary. A software tester who just entered the industry like him has a starting monthly salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, which is much higher than the average salary of his peers of about 2,000 yuan. Once working for 2-3 years, the monthly salary can reach about 8,000 yuan, even exceeding the salary level of many software developers with the same service years. <==There is a point to be stated here, only mid-to-high-end testers can reach this level, and there is a large gap in mid-to-high-end personnel. On the contrary, it is generally difficult for low-end testers to achieve this salary level, and demand is not in short supply, but severely oversupply.
