Do you still remember the sensational post on Huawei’s Intranet about “starting to focus on weeding out employees over 34”? The topic of age has always seemed to be one that we programmers have to deal with.

Here are three examples of real programmer ages

The story is as follows

No.1: Ding Jun, a big data development engineer, chooses his career at the age of 35

Ding Jun, a big data development engineer, worked at Xiaomi for many years before cashing in his shares to pay off his mortgage and switching to online education. Just a few months ago, he celebrated his 35th birthday and lost his job, along with millions of others in the industry.

For the first time, he felt the reality of being 35 — resumes can be rejected with no reason, even if a mid-level friend at Tencent pushed them in.

Later forced livelihood and helpless to return to leave before the old club millet. Including stock, this option is $500,000 less than the other offers combined — a pay cut of nearly a third.

Ding Jun has plans to work here until he retires. It was an instinctive choice, he admits, after feeling the constraints of his career and age.

Second: Chen Wen, a 35-year-old back-end engineer, plans to work in Meituan until retirement

Chen Wen, a back-end engineer who turned 35 this year, also plans to stay in Meituan for the long haul.

He was also dissatisfied with meituan, who had just joined the company. In addition to the benefits, he only had water, but he felt it was inappropriate to leave. At the end of last year, he just went through a layoff, and only after re-studying and learning technology did he get the offer from Meituan. And his successful transfer to a team in charge of his old boss, many of whom he knew before. It made him feel safe. “You have to learn to hold your thighs.

He plans to stay in Meituan for a long time. He figured he could work another five years, save $4 million for his education and retire at 40, even though his children were only two.

All he wants is for the boss not to jump ship first, at least not before giving him a raise.

Third: is to give me a comment on the article programmer: 30+ big data have options annual income million or very anxious

When programmers reach a certain age, they’re all likely to have problems: whether they’ll be optimized, whether they’ll change careers and get a pay cut, work-family balance issues.

You think I’m here to spread anxiety? No!

We programmers are skilled people, and these issues, including money and family, may be balanced in a different way. Wages in big factories in first-tier cities are so hot that many people dare not flee from Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. But I also want to make money and have a family. Now The Times is also slowly changing, north, guangzhou and Shenzhen to you, other cities are also slowly meet.

Google is doing decentralized work, you can do it with a computer, they’re all doing decentralized work now;

There are more forms and opportunities for the future of work than we think.

Decentralization has also become a trend in China. People can also find desirable jobs in small cities. Our company has also recruited a number of remote employees from the decentralization platform.

Secondly, we can use our skills to do the sideline, many small companies, even foreign companies have the need to develop the system, are online docking personal cooperation, and put the source code to 51ASPX to make money, and provide deployment services.

It’s not that most people don’t want to go to smaller cities, but rather that they are stuck in a dilemma when they come to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou: small cities can’t meet the opportunities and salary demands of big cities, so they don’t want to leave. But now decentralized work, why don’t we choose a comfortable and happy city where we can live and develop?

Such as chengdu

Chengdu is currently developing high-tech industries, many large factories have settled here, and our company will also move here in the future. Secondly, Chengdu has low housing prices and prices. It is a city that comes and does not want to leave, with many scenic spots and cultural landscapes. Many of my Beijing brothers and sisters have come to settle down, it is true that the salary cut a lot, but the happiness is too strong. (The picture was taken during my visit to Chengdu last month)

Such as Qingdao,

Qingdao is a historical and cultural ancient city, a seaside resort city, full of historical and cultural buildings. Now, it is also vigorously developing Huangdao and Jiaozhou, with a new Jiaozhou Airport and jiaozhou Bay Bridge. It is also a livable city for many years.

Such as huizhou

At present, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is developing, and Huizhou is the gateway to eastern Guangdong. There are daya Bay Economic Development Zone and Huizhou Zhongkai High-tech Industry Development Zone. The transportation is convenient and the pace is slower than shenzhen. The future development is immeasurable.

Such as chongqing

Lots of pretty girls, lots of good food, less pressure. The development of Liangjiang New Area also brings a lot of opportunities. Focus: Relatively speaking, Chongqing is still very short of technical talents.
