After graduating from 985 University, many students choose to take the civil service exam or work in public institutions, eager to have a solid job.
On the contrary, I found another way, chose another path that few people take, and chose to enter a company as a programmer.
Now I have been working in the unit for 3 years, and I have stepped into the middle level of the company and become a manager. The annual salary is about 300,000 yuan, and I am quite satisfied.
Many people think that a senior code farmer must have an annual salary of millions, and he is a truly successful person.
In fact, the salary level of most test development is between 200,000 and 500,000 . Only the talents who really stand at the top of the pyramid can reach an annual salary of one million.
However, what is the actual working situation of real programmers?
In fact, it is not easy, and money is hard to earn. Many people have paid everything for their work, but a BUG can make you sweat anxiously.
There are still many ceilings that most people can't think of in the career development path of programmers. Do you know?
Are tests all that rich now?
A few days ago, a friend said that he switched from Tencent to Byte. I didn’t understand it at first, thinking that he was going downhill in the workplace. But now it seems that Byte's salary is really good.
According to Maimai and Zhihu Shangbyte employees, even fresh graduates can get a salary 20%-30% higher than Ali, and employees with work experience generally have a salary level that is 30% higher than the industry.
Looking at the data again, the average monthly salary of Byte test engineers is 2W. According to the recruitment requirements of Lagou.com, it can be seen that the testing of large factories requires more coding capabilities , and they are all test engineers with experience in automation implementation.
However, there are many friends around me who usually graduated with a second degree, did not have a very beautiful resume, and did not even have a decent work experience, and they all entered the big factories to work.
But there is a very important prerequisite, that is, their technical capabilities are very strong.
Dachang does not require everyone to have a super high degree of education or an unusual background, but it will definitely require you to have excellent technical strength and solid enough coding ability.
However, there are only a few people who can possess these two points. Most people are busy with work and have no one to take them with them, and they are not very good at planning.
I suggest that everyone submit more resumes for interviews. It is best to meet suitable opportunities. If there are no good opportunities, it is recommended to take time to plan carefully and overcome the technical points that you have not mastered, from principle to practice. In this way, it is an important support point for our current work and future job-hopping plans.

"Middle-age crisis", what's more frightening is their own crisis
. Many programmers often think about the mid-life crisis, that is, whether the company is willing to hire software testing engineers with high salaries after the person reaches the age of 35, or directly find fresh graduates to solve the problem.
In fact, in addition to the "middle-aged crisis",
the involution of Internet companies is also serious nowadays, and many corporate programmers have even become product managers and operations, and one person acts as a group of people.
"I am a brick of the revolution, and I can move it wherever it is needed." Especially in small and medium-sized enterprises, such talents abound, and they don't know what they want.
The point is, even so, it doesn't matter when an industry is in the development stage and urgently needs a large number of talents.
The IT industry is not as glamorous as we imagined. There is one radish and one pit. In the end, most of the leftovers have reached the management level. Ordinary people, generally 35 years old and still at the grassroots level, will mostly be optimized.
Regardless of which industry you are in, you must plan ahead and plan ahead.
Why is there a sense of crisis?
Speaking from the knowledge level: When you know little and watch a huge flow of information, which exceeds your cognitive upper limit, you will have knowledge anxiety and a sense of crisis. The solution is to study, read systematic books, strive to improve yourself, set a reasonable plan according to your ability and practice it.
Practice is very important, you will improve in this process, the degree of improvement depends on your concentration and the result of perseverance, in the process of learning and practice will transfer your sense of crisis (a strong sense of crisis is a overflowing mental energy and can cause anxiety and restlessness).
Learning resources recommendation
Learning resources are the guarantee of learning quality and speed, so finding high-quality learning resources is also very important for us. The learning resources listed below are good resources, regardless of ranking:
1. Learning routes in all directions of software testing
The indispensable knowledge on the road of software testing and the experience I have summed up over the years have been compiled into a mind map.
2. Test tools
If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. The commonly used software tools for learning software testing are all here, saving everyone a lot of time and sharing them in the group. Friends who need them can click the small card below to enter the group and download them by themselves.
