Three factors determine your salary

Here are three key factors that determine your salary level as a programmer:

• Work itself
• Job performance
• The difficulty of being replaced

It seems easy to understand, let's have water.

Work itself

From a certain point of view, we often hear the phrase "choice is greater than effort" to illustrate this point. Speaking, that is, the average salary level of different industries is not the same, you choose to enter the IT industry or choose the restaurant industry, the results are very different. In the early years, about 2000 years, I was in school, this difference is particularly large, you learn mechanical, energy power and computer science communication, graduation in 35 years, the wage difference is very big. Even in the same big area, segments can lead to significant pay differentials, such as your hands-on tour and building software, such as your web front end and service backend, where results can vary significantly over time.

OK, that's what " your job " means: differences in the content of the work itself can lead to pay differentials. So, if you are sensitive to salary, it is necessary to study the industry salary report and so on when choosing the industry and the segment in the industry.

Sentence nonsense:

All walks of life have cattle, cattle b to a certain extent, basically the same, the industry gap in that case is not so important.

Job performance

In the same field, a programmer who does the same thing has a different salary. Hey, this seems to be nonsense, to water to happy, nonsense is indispensable. The difference is reflected in the " performance of your work ".

In the same job, do the same job content, you do better than others, you behave more positive than others, you can more timely feedback, your salary is higher than others. This is called the unequal pay of the same post. Lazy and lazy to do one thing, active and perfect to do one thing, the difference is very big. For example, Zhang San always unwilling to accept the task, write code dirty, disorderly, poor, unreadable, no logic, John Doe always gladly accept the task, code specifications, self-explanatory, concise, logical clear, superior performance, how the results, not self-evident.

The difficulty of being replaced

Software development This profession, the fluidity is very strong, the programmer job-hopping is similar to the girl buys the skirt frequency. You did a bad job, did not say and know the result, blame me? Work performance is also more people, to work well in a bunch of programmers to scratched a lap to see, or have to take more money and take less money difference. This time difference, and " you are replaced by the difficulty " has a very big relationship.

If you do the work, is the core, business complex difficult to master, or technical difficulties have a high threshold, your alternative is very poor, that is, in addition to you others play not turn, then your value for the enterprise is very high. Also are positive attitude seriously work, if Zhang San do things casually find someone to replace him, then he must not you take more money. This is the role of " substitution difficulty factor ".

So, how can you improve your replacement difficulty factor? In fact, I have done a simple analysis in my other article-" 4 Secrets of the Programmer's preservation "-and interested in jumping over to see it. Here, let's shake a new secret. Kazakhstan: If you have the ability to differentiate between the importance of things and the ability to quickly fix important tasks , you will be hard to replace. Because, the person who has this ability, does not say cream, also ten does not have one.
