Mr. Ray is a programmer of a company that develops network software, and has been in this company for 3 years. Because of the excellent ability, he is quite important to pay attention, and it is also a core developer of the company. However, when he was 30 years old, the old general decided no longer renew its work contract. The company's platform has turned from PB (Power Build) .NET, and Mr. Ray is a PB master, but it is not very understandable to .NET knowledge. Seeing that he has no use of value, it is also expected.
In Zhongguancun, the programmer like him is not a few, they are more or less faced with such problems - 30 years old, how should I choose?
His colleague describes his departure: silently packing things, try not to be alarm anyone, slowly go out, get out of the company that allows him to take 3-year-offs.
Coincidentally. A year ago, Mr. Kong, who has just been 30 years old, is also facing this problem. The company is doing projects. Each project is completed, the code reuse is very low, and each project is almost a work, no black and white, and therefore, Mr. Kong for the year is busy with the project. At the time, the boss took him away and asked him to leave the company. Mr. Kong looked back and saw the development department, where new young newbies were new, they were vigorous, and they were eager to try. After I received 3 months of compensation, Mr. Kong can only leave.
Mr. Kong found a new job after 3 months, continuing to make programmers, and Mr. Ri is not known. Mr. Ri is so no longer loan to buy a house, preparing for Changzhuan Village.
As soon as possible
Working in small and medium-sized software companies, especially in the work of entrepreneurial enterprises, companies are not willing to raise some employees who are not worthless. When the value of the programmer is "duck", the company will ruthlessly abandon him. Mr. Zhou graduated from a famous university automation department in 1999, just caught up with the network boom, he was self-studying network knowledge, entered a network company listed on Nasdaq. The young people in the network boom are also enthusiastic, and Mr. Zhou has desperately desperately desperate, overtime every day, and seize the time to catch the project. "I almost 10 o'clock in the evening, I will come to work on the next morning." He said.
However, the better is not long, because the network company staff has changed frequently, the company's high-level leaders will be replaced, and the "soldiers" is also changed again. Because Mr. Zhou is a technical backbone, it can still keep it unsailing, but in this environment, Mr. Zhou felt intangible pressure. When the company's leaders changed to the fifth, Mr. Zhou felt that they would only be accommodating, so they chose to leave.
Mr. Zhou then went to a company that developed ERP software to develop work. Because it is a software for the network, the technology update used is quite fast, almost one year. ASP, PHP, J2EE, .NET ... These platforms are not very close to each other. After a few tossed, the company's performance has not improved, and Mr. Zhou's overtime can be too late. Software companies overtime are "obligations", and the company will provide a box of rice. Mr. Zhou feels that it is not a way. "I don't know, I am tired, can't catch up with the development of new technology, I am afraid of this technology, then, I will finish it."
This year, Mr. Zhou was 25 years old, the company closed, and Mr. Zhou became "unemployed visitors". Catch up with the new network, Mr. Zhou's technical experience is based on network software, so finding a similar programmer work is not easy, and Mr. Zhou is also afraid to play a life-like lifestyle when making programmers. "In addition to writing software, there is no time to read, reading, and even uninterested to carry out normal daily necessities, but more importantly, there is no chance to know girls." Mr. Zhou was embarrassed, "I decided to give up and find the program." Start clutching. "
Next, Mr. Zhou spent more than half a year of time, in short, the work of online development can not be done again, the programmer is also suffering, now you are young, you can't live, want to go It is also difficult to have a chance. So, he spent 3 months and related network management professionals. Because the knowledge updates involved in the NMS are slower, overtime work is small, relatively stable. After 3 months, Mr. Zhou took the Cisco CCNA certification. Then he would find a network management position with this certificate. Although income is less than the programmer, at least relatively stable, do not have to leave his favorite network. Now, Mr. Zhou generally chooses a spare time to edit some software. "Purely personal hobbies, I don't want to be a programmer."
Golden era of entrepreneurship
Mr. Zhang is 30 years old, just in the "hurd" of the programmer. Prior to this, he had done a 5-year program, and changed 3 companies.
"Programmer work, as long as you like it, you will not feel bitter." Mr. Zhang said, "I don't have any other hobbies, I like to program, so I don't think this work is boring. If I don't let me program, I am not comfortable. "
But Mr. Zhang also felt the hard work of programmers. "Usually work, I will forget time. I don't know when I often do it. My current company's management is also open, as long as the project can complete. I often find it." Mr. Zhang is a little worried. " Say, "I am afraid, this will go down, I will get rid of a small program, I will write a small program every night, I will remind me, so I know that I will take a break at get off work."
For your future, Mr. Zhang has been planning. "I will resign immediately, before this 'May 1'." Mr. Zhang said he prepared to continue programming. "I intend to write sharing software, now I have a lot of ideas, you can implement it yourself, then hang it online."
Mr. Zhang has opened a studio with several ambiguity and buddies, using spare time to write some small software free to provide users. "We have a fee on one of them, the effect is not bad, I didn't expect users to pay for the genuine software to pay for the genuine software." Mr. Zhang said. In his plan, if the effect is good, the software written can earn money, you can invest in the company, expand the people, officially started.
Experience never falls
Mr. Dai is 31 years old and is a senior developer of the telecommunications software industry. After many years of programmer experience, he is fascinated by programmers. For programmers to eat youth, Mr. Dai admit that there is no colleague than himself, but this does not necessarily explain that programmers can not do long. "In foreign countries, the four or five-year-old programmers have, it should be in China."
Mr. Dai's rich work experience has made him a focus of competing by each company, and his salary is naturally in a high level. "I am 31 years old, I have not feeling enough energy, and I can do it on time, and the experience is much more, the older programmer is much stronger than the newcomer."
Although the technical update in the software industry is very fast, the technology has a relatively correlation, and experienced programmer learning new technology is also easy. Mr. Dai has begun to engage in system analysts. At present, he doesn't have to write a lot of software code. Therefore, how to manage project processes, coordinate software project development processes These requires rich experience, and should be handled by him. Mr. Dai believes that many software companies in China are not well found, and they are very eager to have a good health, and software is a big industry. It is necessary to work together to make excellent products. It is also because of the existence of individual heroism, some software companies will choose the practice of programmers, and quickly consumption of employees in a short period of time. In this way, not only is it unfavorable to employees, but companies cannot make excellent products. For the programmer itself, Mr. Dai believes that on the one hand, it is necessary to grasp the time to charge, update knowledge; on the other hand, pay attention to accumulation of experience and develop to higher goals. Although the growth of age, the rich development experience can make up for this shortcoming. This long, as long as you have the ability, age is not a problem.
