It's time to have to learn English, give yourself multiple paths

Program Developer Crisis

Under the unprecedented changes in a century, how can you protect your own survival or make more money?

Conclusion: The way out for older programmers is here↓

It's not easy, let alone getting older.

Where is the way out for older programmers?I read an idea on the Internet to share with you: that is to go abroad to work in Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand.

1. There is a large gap in IT technical talents in Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand

European and American countries, such as the United States, Germany, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Singapore, etc., have a large shortage of IT technical talents.Even though India has been supplying IT talents for decades, there is still a shortage of IT talents.

2, no 35-year-old limit

Older programmers are more common and can keep writing code.

3, no overtime or very little

At least not as introverted as in China.

Point 3 I personally feel is the most important.Thinking about working for so many years, there are only a handful of days when you can actually get off work normally from 9 to 5!
Working overtime leads to less physical exercise and less time to reunite with family members, which is the norm in China.

I asked a classmate at Huawei's UK branch, and he said that even though Huawei is working overtime in China, it still strictly abides by local laws abroad.He basically never worked overtime when he was on a business trip in the UK. He got off work on time every day and went for a run.cool!This is life.

What to do

1. Learn English well.

2. Brush questions.Go to this leetcode.com brush, or leetcode-cn.com.

3. Contribute more code on GitHub, turn it into a personal work display page, and especially participate in the development of some foreign development projects.

Implement the biggest problem above

English!

My road to learning English

Share my reasons for learning English and my mining experience, and finally analyze the necessity of learning English in combination with the current situation.See if these are helpful to you.

Original

After participating in an international geek marathon in 2018, I immediately made up my mind to learn English.A geek marathon is a hackathon. People who are engaged in technology should know it. In layman's terms, it is a computer software programming creativity competition.Because it is an international level competition, most of them are international friends. Because it is an international level, the whole process of the competition is almost all communication in English.Including competition rules, Q&A, team formation, project roadshow, etc.
Fortunately, on my way to the competition venue, I met a Taiwanese who also participated in the competition, so I asked him to translate for me.But people also came to the competition, and it was impossible to translate the whole process for me, but when I asked, I gave a rough idea.

I also mixed with the Taiwanese brother in the competition team. There were 5 people in our team, including British and American.Discussion and communication are basically in English.So, after that event, I vowed in my heart to learn English well.

Learn English to mine pits

First, I bought an online English foreign teacher class for several thousand yuan. I am a Filipino, and the cost is not too expensive. One class is tens of yuan for 30 minutes.I bought hundreds of lessons at a time, and I haven't used them yet.The effect, a little effect, I really can't understand most of what the foreign teacher speaks in spoken language, so I can only read it by looking at the e-book, maybe my foundation is too poor.After sticking to 60 lessons, I paused.

I went to sign up for an offline one-to-one English training class, which cost more than 20,000 yuan.At first I went to school twice a week, and then once a week.The basics of learning are very basic. By the next class, the words learned last time have basically been forgotten.The overall effect is there, but not obvious.

Now I have signed up for another coaching English training course, which also cost a lot of money.They say that English is not well learned, but English is learned, so you need to listen more.Why do you want to study English so persistently?

Current status

Under the great changes unseen in a century, under the overturned nest, there is no complete egg.Do not overwhelm yourself with more skills, and give yourself multiple paths.If the above sharing is valuable, please like it.
