Is it possible to get a job in IT without technical education and after courses – June 5, 2024 Posting in CHAT: Russia More and more people want to enter IT Source: Alexander Oshchepkov / NGS.RU In the first five months of this year alone, 600 vacancies for developers and programmers opened in the Omsk region. More and more city residents want to make good money in IT (in our region you can earn 150 thousand rubles a month). Is it easy to get into IT? We interviewed residents of Omsk who are building a career in this field without having a higher technical education. Is it possible to build a career with only a course completion certificate? Directors of Omsk IT companies told NGS55.RU about this. Olga (name changed at the request of the heroine) went from journalists to programmers before working in IT. According to the girl, she decided to radically change her specialty because she did not earn enough at her previous job: “I always loved mathematics, before entering university I even had a dilemma: to become either an economist or a philologist. When I was young, I followed my heart. After graduating from university, I made money by writing texts. Of course I didn't get a lot of money. After all, I want to earn money for a car and go on vacation. I wanted stability. That's why I became interested in IT. Olga decided to get a job as a technical writer in one of the Omsk IT companies and, to her surprise, passed the interview. At work, she wrote instructions for using the application and along the way understood the intricacies of the IT sphere. For six months, Olga communicated with fellow programmers. She said that their example inspired her to grow: “I realized that my brain is no worse than theirs.” I started watching videos explaining the basics of a programming language after work, late at night. I agreed with a colleague to supervise me, and also told management that I wanted to become a front-end developer. I continued to work as a technician, learning more about programming every day. A front-end developer is a specialist who creates everything that a user sees on a website or application. Images, texts, videos, buttons, tabs, etc. are front-end. In fact, it depends on how attractive the appearance of the product will be. By the way, this is why a front-end developer often communicates with marketers and designers. Olga moved to a new position as a developer, where she has been working for a year. She plans to get a technical education by correspondence at one of the universities in Omsk. According to the girl, this is necessary to solve more complex problems: – Professional education provides a foundation that helps you quickly master new technologies and gives a broader perspective on solving certain problems. I've also heard that some companies won't hire you without a degree. But is it possible to get a job in IT without special education? Yes. Is it possible to work no worse than your colleagues who have it? Yes, too. But if you come from a completely different area, it will be more difficult for you than for them, and it will take longer to grow. Therefore, education is a bonus that can help build a career. It is important that IT professions are different. For example, for an analyst, specialized education is not as important as for a devopser (a specialist in assembling, configuring and developing software. - Ed.) or a neural network specialist Anna Zakharchenko, together with her developer, founded an IT company -. Director of the Omsk company IT-ASMART, which develops applications and websites. Like Olga, Anna was educated as a philologist in her youth. Graduated from Omsk State University in 2014. The knowledge gained at the philology department helped Anna promote the company on the market Source: provided by Anna Zakharchenko Anna said that she came to the IT field thanks to her husband: - My husband is a programmer. , and in 2014 we decided to start a business with him. I took over advertising and finding clients, and he took over fulfilling orders. My education as a philologist fits perfectly into IT. I studied at the Faculty of Public Relations, worked as a journalist and public relations specialist. In those years, many IT companies could not afford an SMM specialist and a PR specialist, and we developed this part. I think thanks to this we were able to survive in the market. So to speak, we moved forward. Now every company has a marketing department, and forums have appeared where they discuss how to promote the company. This didn't happen before. Anna is currently involved in marketing and advertising. Her main motivation has always been a big salary: “I wanted to get more money and understood that at my previous job I would never get it. I wanted to stay in Omsk, and the only way out was business. The peculiarity of the IT sector is that you can open a company without large investments. At first, such a business does not require a purchase, but requires skills and experience. Do you need a tower to work in IT Anna Zakharchenko said that some IT specialists need to receive higher technical education. This applies to programmers: - The strongest programmers, in my opinion, are graduates of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. Of course, a good result can be achieved by a person without education, but with extensive experience. But basic education is required to perform complex tasks. We accept students for internships and also have jobs for them. For example, they can make a small landing page. But if we talk about the stereotypical image of an IT specialist (high salary, work in an accredited company), then only experience and a training tower will help. According to the commercial director of the Omsk company Promobit, Yana Brysh, higher education guarantees success. only in 50%: - This is no more than in other areas. You can get into IT without education if you really want it. But higher mathematics is better Konstantin Kurdyumov, director of the department of proprietary platforms of IBS and president of the Omsk Digital Association, said that over the past year the need for specialists without higher education has sharply decreased: - In 2023, the shortage of experienced specialists The staff in the IT sector continued to grow, and demand for students and switches (people of other professions who have completed advanced training courses) decreased. This is due to the ambitious tasks of import substitution of software and software systems in terms of functionality and deadlines, which only experienced specialists can do. Konstantin does not rule out that switches can achieve success in IT. The difficulty is that for this, such people need to study all their free time: - There are opportunities, the question is their probability. Who a person was before is not so important here, he is focused on results. Usually switches are adults who work somewhere because they need money to live. Entry into any new profession requires complete immersion in the subject, training and practice. One hour a day after work has zero chance of leading you to a successful outcome in IT. The field is different from others in that you will have to constantly learn, with significant changes in technology occurring every six months. Anyone who comes here should be prepared for this. It turns out only for those who study at night, in the evening and on weekends and are looking for part-time work in IT to gain experience. With this approach, you can move to the role of a junior employee within a year. The transition from junior to intermediate takes at least a year if a person really works hard. Switches successfully passed this path about 8 years ago and accounted for up to 25% of the total. Now, due to a sharp drop in demand in the labor market, there are, in my opinion, 10% of such specialists. Often the main motivation for moving to IT is a high salary. A teacher at a technical university and a specialist at the Automation Service company, Mikhail Gunenkov, is confident that while studying in the tower, future developers must defend their favorite projects. Developers develop their favorite projects in their free time from work or study. These could be calculators, robots, generators or more complex things. For example, instant messengers or games. The essence of the pet project is to learn how to independently explore new topics. The time for its development is usually unlimited. According to Mikhail Gunenkov, otherwise four years of study may be wasted: “Guys in IT usually do not seriously prepare a portfolio, but are constantly engaged in home projects. The most important thing is how interested a particular department and its teaching staff are in interacting with industrial partners, because they are the ones who work with students as part of project activities during their studies. In my opinion, the main task of an educational organization is to provide motivation and field for project work.

“New way”. What is the threat to Ayaz Shabutdinov, who sells pre-trial detention courses? Posting in CHAT: Russia Business coach Ayaz Shabutdinov, arrested last November on charges of fraud committed by an organized group on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), cannot sit still. Let us remind you that he is considered to be involved in the 73rd episode. Earlier, the Tagansky Court of Moscow extended the arrest of the business coach until June 16. His property was confiscated. Despite the fact that the blogger was sent to prison on charges of fraud with his “business development courses,” during his arrest he did not give up trying to make money. The other day, in his Telegram channel, which is now managed by his wife, he announced the launch of a new course. At the same time, the basis for initiating a criminal case against him was the appeal of several entrepreneurs who bought into promises of excess profits from the business built under Shabutinov’s program and paid him a total of 5 million rubles. According to investigators, the blogger created a false impression among his victims about the capabilities of his courses. But Shabutdinov himself does not agree with this formula and does not admit his guilt. "I miss you. I really want to share this joy with someone who is looking forward to a new path,” Shabutdinov addressed subscribers from behind bars, explaining the reason for the “new launch.” In addition, he, as they say, openly admits that he is conducting an experiment: whether, while in the zone, he can conduct a more effective course than before in the wilderness - it does not matter what the prisoner understands by this word “effective.” But won’t this give a new level of efficiency to the episodes in the materials of Shabutdinov’s criminal case? “In fact, before the court’s verdict, Ayaz Shabutdinov, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is an innocent person,” lawyer Vadim Bagaturia commented to aif.ru. “Therefore, restrictions on conducting business activities, even if he is in a pre-trial detention center, do not apply to him. Although, of course, the fact that he was previously accused of currency fraud, and the fact that he now plans to do so, in the same way, causes skepticism regarding the legality of his actions at the moment. But the very fact that while in a pre-trial detention center he sells courses, today these are legal actions.” Moreover, since prisoners in pre-trial detention centers have neither smartphones nor laptops, Ayaz will write his messages to naive “adepts” who have learned nothing from life. And each one, before it reaches the recipient, who will most likely be his wife, will undergo a thorough check. FSIN specialists must make sure that the message does not contain prohibited or illegal information. Source link Source link

Residents of Voronezh were warned about fake chief doctors and professors offering medical courses Posting in CHAT: Russia Residents of the Voronezh region were warned about scammers who call citizens under the pretext of medical workers and offer to undergo treatment. When the victim agrees, she is told that she must give money to buy medicine. The information was published by the official telegram channel of the department for organizing the fight against the illegal use of information and communication technologies of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs on Thursday, March 7. The scheme is not original. First, scammers call on behalf of an associate professor or the chief physician of the clinic and tell a story about “bad tests.” Then the “chief doctor” himself intervenes and says that a certain professor of medicine is ready to accept treatment, but the treatment itself is paid for. “The victim is asked to hand over money to buy medicine and treatment,” the police explained. Fraudsters continue to show wisdom in stealing money from innocent people. For example, they offer to pay a non-existent tax on special operations or receive a payment for children in the amount of 10 thousand rubles. Fraudsters have also begun to impersonate employees of the Social Fund of Russia - they call citizens by phone and inform them that they are supposedly entitled to an increase in pension. The attackers then request a number accounts or any bank details to which money can be transferred. Noticed an error? Select it with the mouse and press Ctrl+Enter. Source link Source link
