They say in Russia the lack of IT specialists amounted to 1 million, is that true?

Question

Career in IT

In my experience and observations (Front End, QA, Back-end), the average salary of a novice specialist was 40 thousand rubles, with very steep requirements, and in order to be called to social security, you need to sweat a lot. In the current realities, this is a penny, most graduates go to work as waiters at the factory, because in most cases the starting salary exceeds the IT one with less effort. Maybe a trend is set like scientists? be in IT for IT's sake and be a crazy fanatic?
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
So maybe there is no lack and no? and there is only a shortage of cheap labor?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a shortage of a million programmers - professionals from the middle level with at least three years of experience in commercial projects. And there is an overabundance of beginners who only want to become programmers.

Answer 2

Cheap labor is just an overabundance. But specialists - as everywhere and always - are not enough.

Answer 3

That is, you endure three months from over 40, then you boldly claim 100, Am two years later already 200, well, or you sit and endure ten years as a waiter for 40k

Answer 4

In Russia, there is an overabundance of IT "specialists", 90% can be safely sent to the taiga to fell wood, they only get fat and cut.
In Russia, there are no semiconductors, no electronics at all, only 1C has some original platforms, R&D is completely absent, and all the amusing cybergulag neural networks from Yandex and Sberbank are essentially just a translated and fashized open source. And all these firms, monopolists such as Yandex save mail, do not benefit people and business at all, they are naturally NEGATIVE for the economy. And small firms will never, out of principle, invest in anything useful in such an overheated market - if profit is lying underfoot, it must be taken, and not engaged in rocket science, otherwise the bubble will burst tomorrow.
All we have is shabby coders in development and half-educated neural network students from mathematical faculties in analytics, who in any normal countries earn at the level of a janitor, but in our country they are paid more than seniors in Google.
If you want something really cool - go to circuit engineering or molecular biologists - for those guys, programming knowledge is almost in the hundredth place in terms of the complexity of the skills mastered, there are naturally less than 1000 of them in all of Russia. Or go abroad as a waiter, to a country where people of work are valued more than bydlockers.
Only people who are personally interested in the fact that in Russia the gebnya could realize even their craziest wishes, to the detriment of the economy, talk about a million.
