What are the most suitable careers for programmers to change careers

1. Become a master or an expert

Deeply practicing in a certain field and becoming a master or an expert who can solve complex problems is the ideal destination for a handful of programmers who are passionate about technology. According to the Dreyfus model, there may be about 12% to 15% of people within a technical field who can reach this level.

2. Toward a management position

Becoming a manager is another regular development path, and the goal of many people. Some people may even think that if you are 35 years old and have not become a manager, your software development career is basically over. (I think this argument is untenable.)

Managers use people as leverage to work through others to be able to achieve greater goals. So good managers will have the opportunity to get more salary, bonuses, stock or options, and a combined income that is, odds are, higher than that of a technician of the same age.

3, stable in a company to become the backbone of the team

An R & D team, in addition to experts and managers, there are often a few backbone, technical ability, although not yet to the level of experts, but also more prominent, can be very good at their job, but they can also be a good understanding of the business, in doing projects, reliable, reassuring.

This kind of people in the team's proportion, may be in 15 ~ 20% or so, they are the mainstay, very important, as long as the company this ship does not sink, they can continue to move forward. Even if the company's ship sinks, they can switch to another ship in the field and continue to be the backbone.

4, insufficient competitiveness, repeatedly cut

There are a small number of programmers, there is not enough willingness to grow, or do not have the energy to continue to invest in growth, competitiveness declined year by year, the company has become the preferred target of the optimization, and repeatedly optimized by the various companies until no one wants to accept, and was forced to change careers.
