Today is the second week of 2022. Have you made your personal career plans?
The reason why I say this is because Lao Wang has recently received a lot of complaints from his classmates, especially those over 30 years old, who want to switch to IT but don't know what to do? After turning around, I am worried that the development prospects are not as good as expected.
It can be seen that everyone is in a mess, and they don’t know what to do.

In fact, people's stereotypes believe that when people reach the age of 30, they must marry a wife and have children, have a stable job and a harmonious family.
But now in China, with a population of 1.4 billion, the pressure of competition is very high. Some people can stand at 30, and some people can achieve nothing at 30. The age of 30 is actually very young. However, most people's concepts are solidified, and they are both anxious and confused about the age of 30.
IT belongs to the post-90s, and it also belongs to those in their 30s
No matter in terms of salary, job requirements, or development prospects, IT is currently the best-developed industry. From the 2021 average salary data report of various lines, the highest salary is in the information transmission, software and information technology service industry, with an average salary of up to 177,544 yuan.
It is not difficult to find that among the programmers, post-90s account for as high as 48%, and female programmers account for as high as 18%. They are the main force in China's Internet industry. At the same time, 30-year-olds are currently supporting the IT industry. Whether it is salary or development prospects, the IT industry attracts not only the post-95s, but also a large number of 30-year-olds who want to switch to IT.
At the age of 30, can I still switch to IT and start over?
Switching careers at the age of 30 may seem a bit embarrassing, but those who switch careers at the age of 30 also have the advantage of being successful in their careers.
First, the thinking is more mature. Know what you need and what you want to do in the future! Because of previous work experience, you will know more about competition in the workplace, how to adapt to the development rules and needs of the workplace, and how to deal with interpersonal communication. These are better than fresh graduates.
Second, there is pressure to motivate motivation. Precisely because I have a family and a career, there are seniors and juniors, and there is a certain amount of financial pressure, so I want to learn IT technology seriously, finish it quickly, go out to work, earn money to support my family, and don’t allow myself to waste time.
Finally, be more responsible. Responsibility for one's own family makes one have a stronger sense of responsibility in learning, stronger self-discipline, strict demands on oneself, and not easily thinking about messing around. These are unheard of for a fresh graduate.
How to increase the probability of switching to IT?
1. Don’t use age as an excuse, but as a catalyst
Some people say that you will stand at thirty, but there are still people who say that you will learn to live until you are old, your own ideas are very important, and you should not be easily influenced by unimportant others. You say that you are too old and not suitable for the IT industry. In fact, this is just an excuse you are looking for for your uncertainty.
Because age can accumulate more work experience for you, become a catalyst for your future work, and make you more calm and confident in your work than others. Think 30-year-old Kobe still playing 18-year-olds on the basketball court
2. Learn with an investment mentality and consider the rate of return
Investing is about adding value to yourself, and so is learning. By learning to have a skill, you will have more choices in your life. Good skill investment can solve your confusion, let you break the old cognition, and realize the value of life.
Recently, the new class of Pharaoh's Hongmeng development will also start, 0 basic introductory teaching, college students, administrators, couriers... As long as you want, you can!
3. Give up taking shortcuts, learn and accumulate practically
Quit being impetuous, be steady. Treat study, work, maintain self-confidence, humbly ask others for advice, listen to others' opinions, we will learn a lot in the whole process. As your experience grows, you will gradually mature in attitudes and methods, and you will have your own set of methods. At the age of 30, you are already mature, and you should know these things yourself.
4. Look at the age of 30 correctly, don’t be overly anxious due to the influence of online marketing accounts
In fact, 30-year-olds are not very old, and they are at the peak of their learning ability, and their physical strength should be pretty good. Now the key point is, how much time do you have now to devote to study?
5. Choose IT jobs with less competitive pressure
At present, java and python are popular languages, the market is saturated, and the pressure of employment competition is great.
Compared with Hongmeng Development, a new system with large demand for talents in the market, many employment opportunities, low competition pressure, and large space for career development can be regarded as a good job choice.
30-year-olds who change careers must pay the most attention to salary. In the IT industry, Hongmeng engineers are undoubtedly the best choice. The salary level is far higher than the current average salary in the IT industry, which is roughly 20k-45k+.
Switching to IT at the age of 30 is not without a future, the key lies in yourself, whether you have the determination and courage to switch careers.
If there is enough determination and strong courage, then the career change will be successful.
If you don't have that determination and courage, just talk and don't act, then even if you are 18 years old, you will still be lost in nothing.
If you want to change jobs, please consult Lao Wang~
