Where do technicians go

I recommend a good article for everyone (from http://softob.net), may bring some necessary thinking to their future career development.

I,
Technical Direction

The so-called technical talents reference the most famous MBTI model in psychology as the theoretical basis. This model is considered to be the most widely used in the IT field.
It is one of the broad and appropriate personality models. Among the sixteen personality types measured by MBTI, istj-that is, the characteristics of inner inclination, perception, thinking, and judgment are the most matched with those of technical talents, and its characteristics are summarized.
Is:

*
Istj-type people are serious, responsible, and rational members of the society. They are trustworthy. They pay attention to their commitments. For them, words are solemn oath.

*
Istj people are very considerate and practical. They are highly concentrated, organized, and accurate. Whatever they do, they are quite organized and reliable. They are steadfast,
It is difficult to change or become frustrated once they start to believe that they are the best way of action.
* Istj
Type people are especially quiet and diligent, and have a strong memory and judgment on details. They can cite accurate facts to support their own views and apply past experiences to current decisions. They pay attention to and utilize the logic,
The objective analysis is to finish the work on time with perseverance, and the goal is always orderly and organized. They pay attention to the necessary theoretical systems and traditional practices, and are impatient with those who are not doing so.

*
Istj type people are always very traditional, small and small. They listen to and like to present things in a true and clear manner. Istj people naturally do not like to reveal, even in crisis, they are still very calm, they are always responsible
There may be a strong but rarely explicit reaction under their calm appearance.

If you think that your personality is similar to the above description, congratulations, it means that you are more suitable for software technology development. For such practitioners, the common career development path is:

Junior Development Engineer-> intermediate development engineer-> Senior Development Engineer-> System Architect-> Technical Expert

Ii. Management Direction:

In
In the opinion of most developers, the management development path is the best to understand. In a country like ours, the so-called high learning and high learning technology should be said to be a mainstream recognition across industries, candidates in my contact
At least to people think they should follow this path, which is easy to describe:

Junior Development Engineer-> intermediate development engineer-> Project Manager-> department manager-> Technical Director

The Confucianism, represented by Confucius's idea of "the hard-working and the hard-working", has been developing in China for more than two thousand years and has deeply influenced every Chinese. In such an environment, occupation
For the Chinese, the meaning is richer. It is not only a means of survival, but also a manifestation of social values and even family honors. The software industry, as an emerging industry, is also a rational thinking
The dominant industry is one of the most inclusive industries, but it is still difficult to get rid of the limitations of the traditional business philosophy, and then form a simple inertial thinking. Therefore, in this career path
One spectacular stage after another, or even some fierce competition scenes in the workplace, can be described as "the waves in the Yangtze River, the waves in the sand", and even more unfortunately, in this fierce competition, A
The accumulated industry is considered to be unhealthy. After five years of work, the technology and technology cannot keep up with the trend, and the leaders are confused, if you want to retire, you have not yet earned any money. If you don't want to retire, you should choose your position.
Already occupied by others .....

Here, I don't want to express too much emotion on this kind of career view. I just want to talk about my understanding of this path and provide the necessary information for you to make career choices.

Iii. Market team
Direction:

Among the many technical candidates I have come to contact, many of them hope to switch to the market after many years of development. This is indeed a good idea. This path is typical.
The development path of is as follows:

Junior Development Engineer-> intermediate development engineer-> pre-sales (after-sales) Engineer-> product manager-> consulting consultant-> senior consulting consultant-> industry consulting expert

4. Advice to testers:

As the scale-up of software continues to deepen, the demand for software testing jobs is increasing, and has been evaluated by an organization for two consecutive years.
I have selected one of the top ten most demanding positions. among our customers, there are indeed many related positions, but when I talk to many testers, I found that most of them are confused about their career development,
Full of helplessness. I can understand this sentiment very well. Since, I began to work with software engineering and cmme evaluation. At that time, our country had very limited understanding of software engineering,
It seems that all work except development can be avoided. Later, with the popularization of the cmme Model in China, enterprises competed to evaluate the cmme under the pressure of their businesses. In two or three years, China became
One of the countries with the largest number of companies with high maturity levels in the world, the SEI cannot strengthen its monitoring of the Chinese market. In this process, the formal content of the enterprise's application of software engineering is far more than the actual content of the East
In the West, testing this position is a typical example. from scratch, the time is not long, and the recognition of this position by society and enterprises remains in the form, his value is far from being fully realized. Its Performance
Mainly reflected in:

1) testing is not as good as development.

I have asked a lot of people who do the test. Why do you want to perform the test? Someone told me that I did not find a development position when I graduated, so I applied for a test. Some people also said that my development capability is not strong, so
Others said that I chose to test because I didn't want to do development. In a word, we can't do development before considering testing.

2) Outsourcing testing is the main form of demand

No matter what role outsourcing testing will play in China's software engineering development, at least the demand for more testing jobs is from outsourcing companies, such as wensi, BoYan, and chinansoft, their main business is to undertake micro
Testing tasks for companies such as software, IBM, and HP. Due to the large demand, the business content is relatively simple, so they will recruit a large number of college graduates to enter the corresponding testing positions, and in recent years there have been more and more schools,
There is an increasing trend of outstanding students. After all, some jobs have requirements for English, and the level of education of the company's employees is very important to the company's global business expansion. Either way, because these outsourcing companies
Efforts have been made to improve the overall talent quality of the testing Talent Team.

But there is also a problem :...
