China's IT workers after 35 years of development of the way out of the investigation report (1) _ Work

All said men 401 Flowers, 35 years old, I'm afraid it is still flowers, at the peak of career development, but many of the workplace "over 35 years old" provisions seem to huaguduo poured a basin of cold water, especially for it workers is a snag, a difficult to cross the ridge, unlike other traditional occupations, Can be lifelong for its continuous development struggle, it workers over the age of the basic technical career is the end, this is the majority of China's IT industry recognition. Is it really an industry that eats young rice? Does it really have an age sill? The 35-year-old IT worker really can't do the technology anymore.

Through this survey, we can understand the gender and age structure distribution of Chinese IT workers, instruct them to make a good career development plan, especially after the age of 35 to choose the right career development direction and seek the second spring of career development.

The survey was conducted on the internet, from March 10, 2007 to April 10, 2007, lasted 30 days, a total of 1203 participants, mainly for IT workers gender, age and 35 years after the development direction of the survey.

This survey is mainly in the IT industry practitioners, of which men accounted for the vast majority, about 89%. The main age structure is: Under 30 years old accounted for 67.69%, 30-35 years old accounted for 26.65%, 35 years old IT workers for 5.66%. 62.89% of the people in the 35-year-old out of the problem "probably know some, but there is still no clear goal", 37% of people choose to do the management at the age of 35, 33.4% of the people think that when the 35-year-old to find a job the main factor is "the future", 66% of the vast number of people think for the future, "Learning management, Management of the road, comprehensive improvement of the overall quality "is the most urgent thing to do at present."

First, IT industry's three major outlet options

In the survey, 37% of people think that Chinese it people should move closer to the management direction when they are 35 years old. This is the view that most people in the industry currently hold. In the IT industry, new technologies, concepts, and new ideas are pouring in like floods. In order not to be outdated, it people spend all their time on learning and applied technology. Efficient work every day, people like on a high-speed train, involuntarily, want to stop can not immediately rest. Industry experts believe that, on the one hand, from the human physiological conditions, a more than 30-year-old programmer and a young programmer in his early 20 programming together, from work mood, reaction speed, operational efficiency are a certain gap. To reduce development costs, companies tend to pay less for inexperienced young developers. On the other hand from the social point of view, most of the IT people at the age of 35 have been married, the burden is far from the previous one to eat a full family of the state can be compared to the amount of this will also contain a lot of energy for the work of investment.

Of course not everyone can manage or manage properly, and surveys show that 32% of it people choose to start a business at the age of 35. It is the most simple idea for a lot of people to work for their boss instead of working for themselves. Before 35 years old is the physical strength, carries on each aspect entrepreneurial condition preparation, for instance the fund accumulation, the network relations training, the financial knowledge and the company management idea study and so on, to 35 years old, can all have, the big work, creates another life the peak. Industry experts believe that the 35-year-old, although not as much energy as young people, but his experience and knowledge of precipitation, is the beginning of a career new starting point of the good times.

12% of it people do not think age is a threshold, and surveys show that they have chosen a different path from ordinary thinking. They think that it is not a myth to be a technical cow. Mr. Yang, the It old man, told the author that a 35-year-old it man must have accumulated more experience than the 20-year-old. In the actual development, experience is more important than technology, industry experience and can not simply rely on the struggle of young people to obtain, time is the "algorithm" in the "seed." An IT person will often have a period of uncertainty after graduating from college (there will be 2-3 years of frequent job-hopping, in order to find the appropriate areas of their own professional, when the final confirmation of their future development is already 98, at this time began in the field of professional cultivation, generally to 35 years old may be in their own areas of achievement. In fact, there are many technical experts are still writing programs 30, of course, such experts are not only proficient in using a few languages. Microsoft's employees at the bottom are forty or fifty years old, but they are still able to stand in front of the industry. Why they don't have the age limit. What is the highest state of learning technology? Master the similarities of technology, so as to step by step with technological progress (of course it is difficult), the higher the level, see the farther, thinking is the more open, when the age will not be a problem.
