No future or not depends on which stage you look at.
If you plan to become a programmer until age 40-50 then no future.
If you plan to become a programmer at the beginning of your career and take up greater responsibility then yes you might have future.
Programmers who just do only programming don’t have the future, especially in Malaysia. It’s very rare for them to get more than 15k. Of course you can still find someone getting 20k or even 30k by just writing source code but very rare. To be able to reach this height, more or less, you will have to involve in management task. Either people management or technical management like Solution Architect or Software Manager. At some point, you will have to change to do things more than just programming.

QUOTE(lightonokira @ Jan 28 2018, 05:24 PM) Is this really true? Me and my colleague earn quite well (in Malaysia). I earn 10k as a team lead (3.5 years experience) and my colleagues (some 2 years and some > 5 years) are also doing pretty well (well above 5-8k). I'm pretty sure if you just know how to code you won't grow financially and knowledge wise. Add more verticals by expanding into other stuff like software architecture and devops or maybe even testing. There are a lot of mediocre developers and it's quite easy to climb up the ladder if you really enjoy it and continuously strive to grow day to day. My best advice for beginners is don't settle for huge corporations too early, you don't learn much that way. Ease in with the small companies get a feel for building something from scratch. Once you are tired of that life then go for MNCs/Enterprise with your experience and leverage and enjoy a slow and easy life. You are a rare case bro. Jobstreet close to 3 million Malaysian CVs, expected as 10k and max experience not more than 4 years one is about 3000 people. 0.1% bro. |
