Java programmers face more intense competition __java

The more intense competition faced by Java programmers looking for jobs in the recruitment market in 2017 is mainly due to the following two reasons:

1 The supply of Java programmers increased by 25% compared with 2016;

2 The demand for Java programmers has risen much lower than the supply gain.

In the context of supply growth, Java programmers also appear to have a low salary increase.

1. Java programmers have increased their job seekers by 25%, and the average number of invitations has declined

Since 16, the number of Java programmers looking for opportunities in the market has climbed by 25% in 17, but the total number of invitations received by Java programmers in 2017 has grown by only about 5%. It's not hard to explain why the average number of invitations that Java programmers received in 2017 years has dropped significantly.

The growing supply is the result of more intense competition. "A sufficient supply of candidates may not be a good thing for a job-seeking person, because the company will be more picky," said Tony, a 3-year-veteran consultant at 100offer, who was behind the interview invitation.

So, where are the new 25%java programmers coming from?

Where did the new Java programmers from 17 come from? In addition to the normal flow of people, 100offer felt the source of Java programmers in the 2017 was richer.

"In addition to the normal flow of talented Java programmers, this year the market to see the opportunity of Java programmers also exist abnormal flow"100offer Senior Talent Consultant Summer Read this part of the Java Programmer's source. "

The exception sources for 17 Java programmers include non-internet companies (including, but not limited to, traditional software companies, traditional hardware companies, financial firms, etc.), internet finance companies, and some unknown internet start-ups (where the anomaly is referred to as a relative to the normal flow of talent).

This situation also has feedback at the company level, Li Yi Chan, a technology interviewer in a TMD company, gave a similar conclusion to the overall situation of Java programmers in the 17, "in 16 we were able to recruit some Java backend with good internet background, which was even more difficult after 17 years." Either some unknown two or three-line company, or simply not a company with an internet background. 」

2. C-round enterprises become the main absorption Java Programmer's Company

In the 2017, Java was still one of the most demanding directions for recruiting companies in all technical languages.

In the 2017, there was a significant increase in demand for Java engineers in companies that had not yet funded companies, C-rounds, D-rounds and listed companies. Among them, listed companies issued nearly 50% of the interview invitation. The reason why there is such a demand for the C round and above the situation of mobile companies. Let's take a look at 16-17 years of market investment and financing performance.

2016 Q1 to 2017 Q3 number of newly established companies (data source: it orange)

2016 Q1 to 2017 Q3 Internet investment event Amount and amount (data source: it orange)

From 16 Q1 to 17 Q3, the Internet investment and financing market has been sliding downward curve, reflecting the difficult situation of start-up companies. In addition to the shrinking number of newly established companies, more mergers and acquisitions have emerged in 17.

2016 Q1 to 2017 Q3 Internet acquisition volume and amount change (data source: it orange)

From the above phenomenon, we can not be difficult to analyze the reasons for the flow of demand:

(1) Under the influence of market environment, the recruitment demand of the start-up company shrinks

Capital market investment is gradually gathering, that is, most of the funds poured into some head companies, coupled with the overall investment in favor of rationality, this is in the B-round before the company, if not prominent innovation and clear play, it is not easy to get investment from the capital market. In addition to the accumulation of funds, the merger of the company has become a new normal, after the combination of personnel deployment, and so on, resulting in this part of the company no longer short-term demand for more recruitment.

"For startups, in addition to some companies that have just entered the team, such as those that have not yet been financed, the remaining startups will be more conservative in recruiting talent," Cathy, who is responsible for corporate clients in 100offer, explains the decline in recruitment invitations from A-b.

(2) with the growth of the business, the demand for talents is steadily rising.

First of all, for C-round internet companies, they generally have a clear business model and stable business needs. As a result, there is a steady demand for the regular flow of people, and "our development ratios are matched by the recruitment of product managers" Li Yi Chan shares with us why their company has a stable Java programmer. "For example, add a product manager, he will put forward some new requirements, this time development is not enough, will recruit new people." "Plus the usual C-round business development may no longer have exponential growth, but the overall trend is up, so they tend to have a relatively stable demand for Java development."

Second, for C-round and above companies, they usually do not have a business other than will also actively expand the new business, such as the new United States launched a taxi business, today's headline question and answer community, these backed by a large number of internet companies "new business", more than pure start-up companies can obtain resources and life cycle longer, so they The Java programmer keeps a strong demand.

After looking at the overall market supply and demand, what about the salary performance of Java programmers after job-hopping in 17?
