I recently hired a college programmer, which really refreshed my understanding of the quality of China’s programmer workforce.
This programmer has five years of work experience. He was a crawler before, so he only knows how to make crawlers. In other words, he only knows how to use scrapy and selenium frameworks and only knows how to use windows. He doesn’t know basic Linux cmd or shell. I can’t even teach you how to install Python on Linux for a long time, which is frustrating. The cost of education and training is shocking. His five years of work experience, in my opinion, are just some simple things that can be learned in a week. Repeatedly five years.
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.
How to learn hacking & network security
As long as you like my article today, my private network security learning materials will be shared with you for free. Come and see what is available.
1. Learning Roadmap
There are a lot of things to learn about attack and defense. I have written down the specific things you need to learn in the road map above. If you can complete them, you will have no problem getting a job or taking on a private job.
2. Video Tutorial
Although there are many learning resources on the Internet, they are basically incomplete. This is an Internet security video tutorial I recorded myself. I have accompanying video explanations for every knowledge point in the roadmap above.
The content covers the study of network security laws, network security operations and other security assessments, penetration testing basics, detailed explanations of vulnerabilities, basic computer knowledge, etc. They are all must-know learning contents for getting started with network security.
(They are all packaged into one piece and cannot be expanded one by one. There are more than 300 episodes in total)
