A 37-year-old back-end programmer who has been working in PHP and Python for about ten years. He lost his job last year and is already living in Shenzhen. Computers have become less cost-effective. Three or four years ago, when the industry was expanding, individuals could come in, and three people could do one job. Afterwards, the cost has been reduced and the efficiency has been increased. Now, which big factory does not have one person to do the work of three people? , one lid should cover three pots. When I left, one person was responsible for maintaining four or five projects. At this age, hiring someone is outsourcing. You have to be recruited by those young people, and you can’t even work overtime for them. It’s not easy to find a job either. I worked in my last job for five or six years, and when I look for another job, I have to do hundreds of stereotyped algorithms. This stuff is very brain-intensive. I have the energy to focus on calligraphy research. It is estimated that the Chinese Calligraphy Association I got all the certificates. This year, I found a job as a calligraphy teacher at the bottom business training institution under the community. Calligraphy is a hobby from elementary school to university. After graduation, I have been busy with work for more than ten years. It is better than Didi Paopao. There are 16 classes a week and 180 students in eight classes. There are usually classes in the evenings and weekends, and there is nothing much to do during the day. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the kindergarten to pick up my baby. He would write in my class when there was no class, and go to other training classes when there was class. I'm doing quite well now, and the class is full of students every day. Anyway, I've always done things perfectly and seriously. The money is less. Fortunately, I didn’t waste time on the bus to and from work every day. The work content is still too easy compared to the previous 996. However, I am at home every day and do a lot of housework. I cook at home every day and earn a lot of money. I still occasionally quarrel with my wife, and I am studying every day. I will make plans when the economic situation gets better. A year later, when my son finishes kindergarten in Shenzhen, I plan to return to Changsha and continue calligraphy training in Changsha.
This is a post shared by a netizen, so why did he say this? Everyone knows that the computer industry is very complicated, but they don't know that all categories in the computer industry are not necessarily easy to deal with.
Many people who are new to the computer industry or graduates of computer-related majors have encountered obstacles everywhere due to lack of practical experience. Let's look at two sets of data:
-
The 2023 national college graduates are expected to reach 11.58 million, and the employment situation is severe;
-
According to the data released by the National Network Security Publicity Week, by 2027, the shortage of network security personnel in my country will reach 3.27 million.
On the one hand, the employment situation of fresh graduates is severe every year, and on the other hand, there is a gap of one million cyber security talents.
On June 9, Max Research’s 2023 Employment Blue Book (including the “2023 China Undergraduate Employment Report” and “2023 China Higher Vocational Students Employment Report”) was officially released.
The top 10 majors with the highest monthly income for college graduates in 2022
Undergraduate computer majors and higher vocational automation majors have higher monthly incomes. The monthly incomes of the 2022 undergraduate computer majors and higher vocational automation majors are 6,863 yuan and 5,339 yuan respectively. Among them, the starting salary of undergraduate computer majors is basically the same as that of the 2021 class, and the monthly income of higher vocational automation majors has increased significantly. The 2022 class overtook the railway transportation major (5,295 yuan) to rank first.
Looking at the major specifically, the major with the highest monthly income for the 2022 undergraduate class is information security (7,579 yuan). Compared with the class of 2018, undergraduate majors related to artificial intelligence such as electronic science and technology and automation performed well, with starting salaries increasing by 19% compared to five years ago. Although data science and big data technology are new majors in recent years, they have performed well and have ranked among the top three majors with the highest monthly income for 2022 undergraduate graduates six months after graduation. French, the only humanities and social sciences major that entered the top 10 highest-paying undergraduates five years ago, has dropped out of the top 10.
“There is no national security without cybersecurity.” At present, network security has been elevated to the height of national strategy and has become one of the most important factors affecting national security and social stability.
Characteristics of the network security industry
1. The employment salary is very high, and the salary rises quickly. In 2021, Liepin.com released the highest employment salary in the network security industry, which is 337,700 yuan per capita!
2. There is a large talent gap and many employment opportunities
On September 18, 2019, the official website of the "Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China" published: my country's demand for cyberspace security talents is 1.4 million, but major schools across the country train less than 1.5 million people every year. Liepin.com’s “Cybersecurity Report for the First Half of 2021” predicts that the demand for network security talents in 2027 will be 3 million. Currently, there are only 100,000 employees engaged in the network security industry.
The industry has huge room for development and there are many jobs
Since the establishment of the network security industry, dozens of new network security industry positions have been added: network security experts, network security analysts, security consultants, network security engineers, security architects, security operation and maintenance engineers, penetration engineers, information security management Officer, data security engineer, network security operations engineer, network security emergency response engineer, data appraiser, network security product manager, network security service engineer, network security trainer, network security auditor, threat intelligence analysis engineer, disaster recovery professional , Practical attack and defense professionals...
Great career potential
The network security major has strong technical characteristics, especially mastering the core network architecture and security technologies at work, which has an irreplaceable competitive advantage in career development.
As personal abilities continue to improve, the professional value of the work they do will also increase with the enrichment of their experience and the maturity of project operations, and the room for appreciation will continue to increase. This is the main reason why it is popular with everyone.
To a certain extent, in the field of network security, just like the medical profession, the older you get, the more popular you become. Because the technology becomes more mature, your work will naturally be taken seriously, and promotion and salary increases will come naturally.
