I saw a question on Zhihu:
This question has been viewed more than seven million times.
In the current employment environment, many graduates are facing the problem of difficult employment, and social ** is also full of news of "downsizing" and "layoffs".
However, despite this, why is there still a steady stream of people choosing to join the IT industry?
In fact, with the advent of the intelligent era, computers, the Internet, and digitalization have gradually penetrated into all walks of life. Almost all industries need the support and service of IT technology, so the demand in the IT industry is still high, which is why there are still people who choose to join the IT industry even in the face of a tough employment situation.
It is no exaggeration to say that mastering IT technology will also have an "iron rice bowl" that can be eaten in various industries.
IT talents are rushing to the "Industrial Internet".
Taking the manufacturing industry as an example, although it has always been at the bottom of the "contempt chain" of employment, in recent years, with the integration and penetration of new technologies, the traditional manufacturing industry is transforming to the direction of digitalization, networking and intelligence, and concepts such as intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet have also emerged.
More and more IT talents are choosing to join the changing manufacturing industry and start their careers from this track.
In addition, more and more enterprises have begun to get involved in the field of industrial Internet, including those from the manufacturing industry such as Kaos, Tree Root Internet, XCMG Hanyun, as well as software and cloud service companies such as Inspur and Yonyou, as well as familiar Internet companies such as JD.com, Tencent, etc.
Therefore, with the upgrading of traditional manufacturing to high-tech manufacturing, the demand for talents in the industrial Internet field brought about by the digital transformation of industries continues to increase.
The demand for talents has tripled in three years, with an average monthly salary of 1810 thousand
According to the Economic Information Daily, from 2019 to 2021, China's demand for industrial Internet talents has tripled in three years, and the total demand is expected to reach 235 in 202350,000 people.
At the same time, the salary of industrial Internet-related positions is also relatively high.
According to the "2020 Report on the Employment Attractiveness of the New Infrastructure Mid-to-High-end Talent Market" released by Liepin Big Data Research Institute, the average monthly salary of industrial Internet enterprises is 1810,000 yuan.
Taking the relatively basic "industrial Internet development" position as an example, according to the data of Kanzhun Network, in the past three years, the salary of this position has always been in the first trend.
In 2020, the average salary of this position was 8,500 yuan, and in 2022, the average monthly salary of industrial Internet development in the country rose to 17,646 yuan.
In terms of talent demand, the core talent demand in the field of industrial Internet is mainly concentrated in compound technical positions.
According to the 2020 Intelligent Manufacturing Technology and Skilled Talent Development and Incentive Survey Report, in terms of the type and number of recruited positions, the demand for compound talents with digital skills is at the forefront.
Therefore, for young people who want to engage in the direction of industrial Internet, in the era of intelligent manufacturing, mastering more digital skills is an important way to enhance the competitiveness of the workplace and overtake in the tide of "involution".
IT is still the first choice for ordinary people
Although there are fewer jobs in some large factories, it does not mean that the salary package has decreased. Various high-paying positions on the Internet are still emerging in an endless stream, and the salary of ordinary technical posts in ByteDance is generally 26k-29k, with a total package of about 400,000 yuan before taxKuaishou technical posts are divided into seven levels of salary, and the highest total package can reach 80w!
Therefore, while the computer graduates are "wailing", some professional students are indignant:The employment environment for computer majors is not bad, but the others are more difficult. The IT industry is rolling and fragrant, and other industries are only ......
StillAt present, all walks of life are gradually moving towards intelligence. For a long time, manufacturing was considered a labor-intensive industry, with little to do with high wages and high technology. However, with the wave of digitalization and intelligence, manufacturing enterprises are actively promoting the deep integration with information technology, and the demand for IT technology has gradually become a hot position in the industry.
Nowadays, the Internet and information technology are very developedA non-computer majorStudents can supplement their necessary knowledge through online self-study or institutional training, so as to get a good offer when applying for a job.
But if everyone could switch careers to computer workIs there still a professional barrier?
The professional barriers of computer science are reflected in the time and difficulty required to fully grasp the subject, which means that it is not passedSystematic and comprehensive learningThere is a high probability that you will not be able to easily enter the IT industry.
There are still only a few people who really do well and do well in the workplace, and the process of moving up also requires more effort and accumulation.
If you want to invest in the Internet industry, you should see the growth space and development opportunities of this industry while seeing anxiety.
