Hi all! Results are available today . 90K developers from all over the world took part in the survey, which makes the data not only an interesting read for discussion with colleagues, but also a good source of analytics for professional discussion.
Below are some interesting metrics that caught my attention while reading. Some really make you think:
- Programming is a hobby for most of the respondents (80.2%). Spending several hours a day on professional literature and publications has long been the norm. Bad news for anyone who decides to move in this direction only for financial reasons.
It is unlikely that they will spend so much "free time". But without this, there is no way.
- The most important factors when choosing a job: stack, culture, free schedule and the possibility of professional growth. Another confirmation that for IT the main thing is the team and development. Everything else is less interesting. Yes, and the money is almost the same everywhere. If you want a cool team, create a culture that allows you to develop.
- Open to new job offers - 58.7% Looks like employee tapping techniques won't die anytime soon.
- Last time I changed jobs less than a year ago 32.4% Staff turnover in IT 30% is the norm of the market, not the bad work of the HR department.
- Constantly updates resume 42.8%. Not to forget. Well, the employer should not be allowed to relax. Cookies, fitness and massage in the office will not appear by themselves.
- More than half (51.9%) of developers are already full-stack (or at least they consider themselves to be). Similar the term full-stack itself has already begun to change its original meaning and more and more means a person familiar with all major platforms, and not someone who can effectively use them in everyday work.
- Only 3/4 of all respondents (73.9%) work full-time. Looks like Toffler was right. At least for IT, his forecasts are already a reality.
- 8.7% wrote the first line of code under the age of 10. Programming is the second literacy.
- The most popular social media among developers: Reddit (17.0%), YouTube (16.4%) ,WhatsApp (15.8%), Facebook (15.6). There is clearly a certain monopoly.
- Does a developer need to become a manager to earn more: NO - 51.3%. Opinion was divided. The statistics of salaries in the labor market stubbornly shows that we are moving in the right direction. At least in the market of the Russian Federation and the CIS.
