First of all, in recent years, computers have been ahead of other real economies. In the future, 5G and artificial intelligence will be the take-off of the entire computer industry, including the Internet. There will be a large number of opportunity windows in the middle, and there will be a large demand for talents in various vertical fields. So in general, there is no big problem with employment in the computer field.

Secondly, the employment problem should be considered comprehensively in combination with the major studied, personal interests, market demand, etc. The subdivisions of computers include online games, IT services, hardware, semiconductors (integrated circuits), communications, finance, security..., and there are also salary differences.

How to obtain the salary differences of specific occupations? If you don’t have friends you know to consult, you can also do this: download job search software such as Zhaopin, Lagou, and Liepin, which basically have the latest market salary trends.

Speaking of salary, the salary in the computer industry is slightly higher than that in other industries. For example, bat, which is Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent, campus recruits (fresh graduates) in computer positions can get an annual salary of about 13K*15 in 2016. Huawei may be higher because Huawei will also distribute virtual shares tup to employees (dividends will be distributed according to the number of tup at the end of the year).

The salary of small companies and startups is slightly lower, but with the improvement of experience or the aura of large companies, you can get a slightly higher salary in small and medium-sized companies than in large companies. Generally speaking, in Beijing, working in technology, testing, and products, you can hit an annual salary of about 300,000 in 3-5 years, and some will get higher.

But objectively, there is also a problem. There are generally more Internet and computer companies in first-tier cities, so you must be prepared to work hard in first-tier cities.

Finally, I wish everyone who studies computers to find a good job and get better and better.
