Many people on university campuses should have heard of, or come into contact with, learning program development, high salaries, and good benefits. If they enter large factories such as Huawei, Tencent, the annual salary is more than 250,000. So many people were moved by their hearts and invested in software development, and most of them chose java development.
However, recently it has been reported that large companies such as Tencent have begun to optimize their internal personnel. Those over 35 years old or general programmers will be required to resign. That is, if you work in a large Tencent factory, no matter how long you have worked, as long as you are 1985 or before Born, and currently still a front-line programmer, not a manager, then it is the object of optimization.
But is this really just optimization? In fact, let’s take a look at the working conditions of programmers in big factories. The 996 working time that once occupied the hot spot at that time also attracted widespread attention and discussion, but in fact, 996 is for these programmers. That said, it is already a very happy thing. If they rush to the project, it is often all night long, which is why some programmers suddenly die.
In Shenzhen Nanshan Science and Technology Park, it is the busiest place in the early morning, and the rush of people on the road are basically people who have just returned from the office building of the Science and Technology Park. In the office building here, it is relatively early to get off work at 10 o’clock in the evening. Many people even work overtime at the company all night, and then take a break.
This is not an exception. In an Internet company in Lugu, Changsha, their Java developers need to work overtime for a month, and the hours are still very long, often in the wee hours, and continue to work the next day, open on weekends. Although the company's various benefits are good, such high-intensity work, staying up late, is eating youthful meals.
35 years old is just a watershed for a person. After 35 years old, the physical function is not as good as before. Therefore, people over 35 years old are no longer adapted to this type of high-intensity overtime work, the possibility of sudden death, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and generally By the age of 35, there will be families, etc., and will be distracted. This is the reason why big companies want to optimize.
Besides, by the age of 35, you are still an ordinary programmer, or you have a technical problem and can only be a network migrant worker. When you are a coolie, when your body is no longer adapted to the work of coolie, the company will naturally find a cheap and able to stay up late. The coolies working overtime will replace you. Of course, either you are not gregarious or there is not much room for improvement, and you are not suitable for management. Then for the company, your value is very small, and you will naturally have to be dismissed.
In fact, to put it plainly, it is a very realistic society where the fittest survive. So if you want to get a high-paying job like it, but don't want to work overtime like this, then I think you can consider UI design, software testing and other technical positions, and these entry barriers are easier than java.
In the technology industry, you must improve your technical skills and enrich your practical experience in automation projects. This will be very helpful for your career planning in the next few years and the depth of your test technology mastery.
