I have been working in the IT industry as a developer for about 4.5 years. He graduated from Uzhhorod National University with a degree in computer science, completed 4 courses and decided not to continue, but to pursue more self-education. The university gave me its advantages, because after the second year I decided that I wanted to do Front-End development. At the beginning of the third year I started to study on my own, here the courses, Medium and YouTube started. At the end of the 3rd year I got my first job. However, he did not stay there long, because the process itself was not organized.
Then I went freelance for 9 months. After 4 months, I realized that it was not as joyful as it seemed. In fact, you need to look for a client, negotiate with him, agree on terms. In general, a lot of admin work, and I wanted to code. And in the office I have more fun. Now I have been working in Israel IT for almost 3 years.
Who is a software developer?
The main job of the Front-End developer is to make such a site so that all the buttons work correctly and perform their functions depending on the business requirements of the product. Simply put, Front-End developers work with the part of the site that the user sees. To better explain what Front-End is, I will also explain what Back-end is. The back-end part is everything that happens on the server side, and the user can’t see it. That is, let’s look at an example of currency conversion, so there is a currency conversion, on the Front-end side there are two fields, the currency you want to compare, and the currency you want to compare when the user enters some values in the field. to the server, after which, the server calculates everything, and returns the answer with the data, of course, the user will only see the result returned by the server, but will not know what was happening on the server side.
We receive data from the Back-end and display it in a correct and user-friendly form. It is also important for the Front-End developer to be able to see how the site will look better, so you need to be a bit of a designer. This is because designers don’t usually know how HTML markup and CSS styles or animations work, and at times it happens that they can draw things that are difficult to implement, rather than being supported by all browsers. Simply put, it will be difficult to write code for a particular design. So, the Front-End developer must be able to see how to modify the design to make it easier to encode.
How much does a software developer earn and what does it depend on
You can just look at the statistics on the DOE, for example. But he can go further and delve into this issue. First, a lot depends on the company. There are those who are willing to pay $ 3,000 to the middle, there are companies that are willing to pay a maximum of $ 2,000. This point must be taken into account.
Junior software developer
Here everything is quite ambiguous with the issue of FE, because not everyone is ready to pay the june $ 900, this is due to the fact that any june needs to be observed and its code checked, also an important point is that the june is usually quite simple. tasks. But many companies are willing to take junipers for a price tag of about $ 600.
Middle software developer
Previously, for the most part, medals could not count on more than 2.5 thousand. Now there are new rules of the game on the market and already now the middle can easily reach 3,000. Another point, if an IT company is founded by an IT specialist, the selection is done very carefully and the middle can count on the amount of about 2 thousand. This is because the founder himself can do the coding, that is, take over some of the work for himself, and also because the medals are sold as really medals, not senior.
Senior software developer
Here, probably, the most unfixed salary. Because a senior can have many responsibilities, including managerial ones. The average salary of a senior varies from 3.5 to 6+ thousand. He can be a developer, a mentor, a code reviewer, or a manager.
