What is the living situation like for a working programmer?

We can see from the picture above that programmers with 5-10 years of working experience account for 43.4% of the programmer group and are senior programmers. Programmers who have just started working account for 12% of the total, programmers who have worked for 2-4 years account for 33.1% of the total, and programmers who have worked for more than ten years account for 11.6% of the total.

Compared with last year’s data, the number of programmers who have just started working has decreased significantly, and those who have worked for more than two years have increased from 73.4% to 88%. It is most likely caused by the reduction in demand for employees due to the epidemic.

In the past few years of in-depth contact and communication with programmers, I found that many programmers have complained about the fact that working hours are too long, resulting in not much time to improve themselves. Therefore, in this questionnaire survey, Programmer Inn specially added a survey about working hours and study hours.

The picture above is about the time programmers spend on work every week. We can see a very interesting phenomenon, that is, 66.9% of programmers live an ideal nine-to-five job. With a working life of five days a week, only 33.1% of programmers work overtime to varying degrees. This is not consistent with the remarks we hear every day that programmers generally work overtime seriously.

On this basis, less than one-tenth (8.6%) of programmers work 996 or more hours per week.
