After 20 16, due to the supply and demand of talents in the market, enterprises have higher and higher requirements for programmers' academic qualifications, and many enterprises even explicitly require candidates to have a bachelor's degree or above in JD position. Some companies, such as Ali, have not made clear requirements for academic qualifications, but they have also put forward higher requirements for the personal abilities of candidates (such as project experience and background of large companies). ).
Therefore, based on the comprehensive consideration of staff selection cost and cost performance ratio, enterprises take education as the threshold, hoping to select talents with development potential and strong learning ability, which leads to the differences between junior college students and undergraduate programmers in the process of job resume selection.
Aside from resume screening, is there really an academic "curse" on programmers' workplace performance?
There is a difference in popularity between university programmers and undergraduate programmers in job hunting, but there is little difference in salary performance.
Judging from the average number of interview invitations, there is a difference between college programmers and undergraduate programmers. Except that doctoral students pay more attention to the influence of professional direction, basically, the higher their academic qualifications, the more concerned they are by employers, while master students are very concerned by employers, while junior college students, as the bottom of the academic food chain, have a slightly lower number of job interviews.
Although there are few opportunities for specialist programmers to get face-to-face interviews, as long as they screen and participate in resume presentation, they can basically make up for the shortcomings of their academic qualifications with excellent work experience and technical strength, and even stand out in salary and treatment.
From the average salary data before job-hopping, we find that although the number of undergraduates exceeds that of junior college students, the salary has hardly increased. In the first 10 years of work, with the deepening of the workplace stage, the gap between specialist programmers and undergraduate programmers has been narrowing. Therefore, from the perspective of late-comer advantage, there is little difference between specialist programmers and undergraduate programmers.
Professional programmers "against the wind": personal growth can break through academic qualifications.
Behind this narrowing gap is the way of upgrading and complaining of specialist programmers? Bian Xiao interviewed several specialist programmers with an annual salary of more than 500,000, and found that besides having more work experience (all of them have more than 6 years of work experience), there are the following ways to improve:
1) Self-study makes up for the deficiency of congenital education;
2) Have a clear growth goal in career development and be able to constantly update their technical fields;
3) Love your job. Love is the driving force to stimulate growth.
These specialist programmers have crossed the barriers of academic qualifications, not only realizing the salary counterattack, but also proving that the real gap between academic qualifications and undergraduate programmers is not in ability, but only in career possibilities.
The difference in academic qualifications is only the starting point of life, not the end. That gold diploma and enough knowledge reserves may be enough to raise the starting point of your current struggle, but your personal efforts can determine the height of your life in the second half of your life.
