Recently, Tencent released the "2022 Tencent R&D Big Data Report", disclosing important data on Tencent's R&D investment, R&D efficiency, and open source collaboration in 2022.
The "Report" shows that the proportion of Tencent's internal R&D personnel will reach 74% in 2022, which means that on average, three out of every four Tencent employees are engaged in R&D work.
After reading the report, I can't help but sigh that the proportion of R&D personnel in Tencent is really high. Boniu couldn't help but also searched for the R&D personnel of other major Internet companies. Good guy, Boniu seems to have discovered a big secret: the original R&D ratio High is the general model of Internet giants.
Huawei: R&D personnel accounted for 45%;
Ali: R & D personnel accounted for as high as 51%;
Baidu: R&D personnel account for nearly 60%;
JD Digits: R&D personnel accounted for 70%;
Netease: R&D personnel account for about 50%;
ByteDance: R&D and operation positions account for over 80% of school recruitment in 2022
……
Such a high proportion of R&D personnel not only ranks in the forefront in China, but also ranks among the top in the world. The following is the data on the "proportion of R&D personnel of world-renowned technology companies" statistics from LinkedIn, among which Ali, Huawei , ZTE, JD.com and other companies are firmly in the top ten, even higher than Google, Microsoft and other companies!
In addition to the high proportion of R&D personnel, the investment cost of R&D by various major Internet companies is also very impressive:
Major companies focus on research and development
Just because technology can really change the world
From the investment focus of major companies, it can be seen that companies are gradually shifting from "emphasis on marketing" to "emphasis on technology".
For a long time, the country has regarded technological self-reliance and self-improvement as a strategic support for national development. Under this initiative, various enterprises are scrambling to seize the high ground of science and technology.
Because of the high proportion of R&D personnel and the large investment in R&D costs, major manufacturers also let their own technologies be at the forefront, such as:
Huawei's 5G technology, Hongmeng system;
Ali has leading advantages in chips, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other fields;
As of December 2022, the total number of patent applications published by Tencent in major countries and regions around the world exceeds 62,000, and the number of patent authorizations exceeds 30,000;
Baidu's autonomous driving technology;
……
These technologies are already changing our lives and the world, and technology is always on the way. From the birth of a technology to its full-scale use, it cannot be completed overnight. It requires R&D personnel to continuously update and iterate. The period may be 3, 5, 10 or even longer.
It is foreseeable that there will only be more and more such cutting-edge scientific research, and more and more R&D personnel will be needed!
In the Internet world, R&D personnel support most of the sky!
In an environment where the country pays attention to the development of science and technology, the focus of Internet companies has shifted to technology, and the investment cost has increased, programmers are the core of R&D personnel, and their salaries have been rising.
The "2022 Programmer Salary Report" released by Levels.fyi, a US data collection website, shows that compared with 2021, the salaries of top companies and the highest level will still increase in general in 2022.
The "2022 Programmer Group Workplace Insight Report" released by Lagou Recruitment Data Research Institute shows that the salary level of programmers is relatively high. 77% of undergraduate graduates have a starting salary of more than 10,000 yuan, of which 74% of graduates born after 2000 have a monthly salary in the range of 10,000 to 30,000 yuan, and only 23% of programmers born after 2000 earn less than 10,000 yuan.
The considerable salary of programmers is one of the driving forces to attract everyone to join the technology circle. If you want to persist in this industry for a long time, you need a lot of love, you need to keep going up, and learn as much technology as possible.
