Chinese programmers Life Report(2017)
Programmers have always been a group of people concerned about. In 2014, according to IDC statistics, there were approximately 18.5 million programmers worldwide, and China accounted for 10%. With the rise of the Internet entrepreneurship boom in recent years, the "
Internet +", "
cloud computing" and "smart hardware" sectors have developed rapidly, and the demand for programmers has become even stronger.
Through a survey of 10W+ developers from 28 provinces, municipalities and special administrative regions in Beijing, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. In the survey report, statistics and analysis were made on the programmer's age composition, gender ratio, good computer language, working hours, and salary.
Geographical distribution
More than half of the programmers came from Beijing (23.55%), Guangdong (16.53%), Zhejiang (12.81%) and Shanghai (12.40%). As the most developed area of China's economy and science and technology, Kitakamihiro is the main gathering place for programmers. Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province is currently being heavily established as the "Silicon Valley of China", attracting a large number of entrepreneurs and providing excellent conditions for the employment and development of programmers.
Age composition
Most programmers are under 35 years of age. More than half of the programmers are between 23-30 years old. Of course, the proportion of "geniuses" among programmers is not low.
Gender ratio
For a long time, this group of programmers was mainly male. According to the survey, the proportion of men and women in the programmers group exceeded 12:1. This "malformed" gender composition also explains why many programmers are laughing at the "single dog". The proportion of single male programmers (52.46%) is slightly higher than that of female programmers, but the proportion of single female programmers has also reached 46.90%.
Good at programming languages
Among the programmers, the best programming languages are Java (43.03%), Java (32.38%), HTML5 (32.38%), and PHP (25.41%). In addition, C languages (15.98%), Python (15.57%), Objective-c (12.70%), C++ (11.89%), and Node.js (11.07%) are also used in more computer languages.
Salary status
It is widely believed that programmers are a well-paid profession. From the results of the survey, one-fifth of the programmers' group has an annual income of less than 60,000 within three years of working. One-fifth of the programmer's annual salary in the three years reached the level of 20-30 million. Most programmers have an annual income of between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan. Compared with other industries, the monthly salary is already a high income level. After 3-5 years of work, more than 90% of programmers have reached a monthly salary of 10,000+, and only about 10% of the group's annual income is below 100,000. More than 1/6 of the groups have even reached an annual salary of 30-50 million. After 5-10 years of work, only 2.7% of programmers earn less than 60,000. Programmers with an annual income of 1,500 to 20,000 account for 21.62%, one-third of programmers have an annual income of 20,000 to 300,000, and more than one-fifth of programmers have an annual income of 300,000 to 500,000. Programmers with an annual income of 500,000 to 700,000 accounted for 5.41%.
The first-tier cities in China are still the main clusters of programmers. Some of the second-tier cities with developed economies and dense tech companies also have a large number of programmers. In terms of computer languages, programmers who know how to use programming languages such as Java, Java, HTML5, and PHP have the most. The single issue of male programmers has always been the focus of social attention. Although the number of female programmers is relatively small, the proportion of single persons is also high, and personal issues cannot be ignored.
From the point of working condition, currently, more and more programmers want to freelance work remotely, but from the point of income, if a programmer can stick to work for 3 years, especially for college students just graduate soon, its income level will be obviously improved.
Considering that the overall age of the programmer is relatively young, working to five years will lead to a bottleneck period: increasing competition pressure, lack of strength in career development, and the pressure of family life. If you get through this stage and raise your own value, you can expect a breakthrough in revenue.
Nearly 40 percent of Chinese programmers are single.Working overtime is the norm for Internet workers, especially the programmers. 45% of programmers work more than 10 hours a day, and 5% of programmers work more than 14 hours a day. During sleep, programmers sleep between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., not between 10 and 12 p.m. on the Internet.
Programmers are "geeks" in the industry, and many programmers are more isolated, perhaps because they don't want to waste too much time. They prefer to spend their time thinking about a problem and writing a piece of code that makes them feel more satisfied. It's not just the people who are out there who think that, even the people in the line are not aware of it. The programmer's ability to do things is very strong, but also because of so much consideration, the small problems in life become complicated. The programmer is very interesting, if you can understand him, you will think they are very humorous.
