"Blue-collar software" in China: promising software engineers

"Blue-collar software" as it training from India becomes increasingly familiar, news from around the world about the recruitment of "blue-collar software" has aroused people's yearning for this profession from time to time. A job called "blue-collar" is so much "sought after" that it can be confusing.

After several surveys, the reporter concluded that in China, there are few "blue-collar Software" in the absolute sense, which is replaced by "software engineers, software engineers have broad prospects in China and require multiple capabilities for entry.

China's "blue-collar software" equivalent to software engineers

Liu Zhongmin, consultant at mckerui Consulting, said that in software development groups with high development levels, "blue-collar software" refers to first-line code workers, just like front-line production workers in factories, you only need to be able to complete coding and writing according to the specifications. The software engineer is like the "workshop director" in the factory, and most of the energy is invested in the architecture design of local systems. Fan zhanyuan, sales manager of niit, believes that according to the current development of China's software industry, enterprises do not need much "blue-collar" software. In enterprises, they must be both blue-collar software and software architects. It is necessary to design the software architecture, master the actual operation, and conduct code testing and writing of Software Documents. Therefore, China's "blue-collar software" is equivalent to software engineers.

"Money" for software engineers is good

The following four arguments are supported:

Argument 1: Data Support

According to statistics from relevant authorities: in the next few years, China's software industry will have a huge number of opportunities: China's annual demand for software talents will reach about 0.35 million-0.4 million people, each year, there are only about 60 thousand computer-related graduates from colleges and universities. The "blue-collar" software at the bottom of the Software Talent pyramid structure naturally has the largest demand.

Argument 2: industry insiders are happy

According to several insiders, the monthly salary of first-line employees should be between 2500 yuan and 6000 yuan. In the Beijing area, the average monthly income of software-related students with a bachelor's degree can reach about 4000 or 5000 yuan, and the monthly salary of coding staff with certain work experience can be as high as 7000 or 8000 yuan. They said that it is better to become a "Excellent operator" than to become a "mediocre manager ". Therefore, they have a promising future.

Argument 3: employers are in high demand

Ling, a teacher at the Beijing Modern Business Training Center trained by niit software engineers, said that the current demands of employers for high-quality software engineers can be described as "Hungry, the employment rate of niit trainees in Shanghai is 100%. Most of the employers are IT departments of banks and multinational IT enterprises. Wei Guiyang of Beijing changran Information Technology Co., Ltd., which is engaged in software development, said that software talents with practical operation capabilities are the most needed by employers. In addition, the larger the scale of the company, the clearer the work split level, the larger the need for software talents.

Argument 4: The software factory has a lot of demands

Large-scale development is the development trend of China's software industry. According to the reporter's understanding, niit originally entered the Chinese market for the purpose of establishing a large software factory. However, due to the serious shortage of talents, it had to start from the software talent training, after a certain amount of talent is available, the software factory construction can be started. In September last November, Aptech decided to set up software plants in Beijing, Shanghai and Zhuhai respectively. The ideal scale is that each factory has about 1000 engineers. The birth of such a software factory will rationalize the talent landscape in the software development industry, and will surely give birth to a large number of "blue-collar" software and provide a large number of employment opportunities.

Multiple capabilities are required for inbound traffic.

China's software talent gap is indeed huge, but those who want to enter this industry should pay special attention to the fact that in recent years, it is not enough to have some simple technical operation capabilities to engage in the software development industry, the system architecture planning capability is also required.

Fan zhanyuan believes that Chinese software engineers must be proficient in the hands-on operation of software programming, as well as the development of software engineering specifications and basic software architecture capabilities. Therefore, if people who were not familiar with software development in the past want to transfer their careers, it is also helpful to attend training courses in some training institutions.

Liu Zhongmin told the students preparing to join the school that they should pay attention to the study of basic theories and try to expand the breadth of computer knowledge. If you have the conditions to work for a certain number of enterprises, or select a real training company for "Practical Training", it will be very helpful for future work.
