What is the employment prospect of linux?

I. Industry Distribution of Recruiting Enterprises

Linux has a wide range of applications and will be applied to various industries. Among the 2,694 Linux talent recruitment companies involved in this survey, the IT industry has the most extensive demand, followed by the communication industry, and then the human resources outsourcing service companies, among which the human resources outsourcing service companies mainly help customers recruit Linux-related talents.

Second, the IT recruitment enterprise segmentation industry situation

The IT industry has the highest demand for Linux talents, and it is also an industry that Linux practitioners like to engage in. By analyzing the sub-sectors of 173 1 IT enterprises, we can find that computer software manufacturers have the greatest demand for Linux, accounting for nearly 50% of the IT industry, which is significantly higher than other sub-sectors, followed by network technology companies such as Internet and e-commerce.

Third, the nature of the recruitment enterprise

Among the 2,694 enterprises that need to recruit Linux talents, private enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises and joint ventures are the main ones, accounting for 93 1%. In contrast, state-owned enterprises only account for 6.9%, and the recruitment demand is relatively small. Among foreign-funded enterprises, European and American enterprises accounted for 20.7%, which was significantly higher than that of non-European and American countries (13.7%). However, the proportion of non-European and American joint ventures (10.4%) is significantly higher than that of European and American joint ventures (5.5%).

Fourth, the scale of recruiting enterprises.

Among the enterprises that need to recruit Linux talents, 207 1 enterprises have registered and announced the number of their employees. The survey shows that small and medium-sized enterprises with less than 500 employees are the main recruitment enterprises, accounting for 8 1.0%.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) regional distribution of recruitment enterprises

Enterprises with recruitment needs for Linux are mainly distributed in areas where high-tech industries are concentrated. According to the survey, nearly 90% of the 2,694 recruitment enterprises are located in Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. These areas include Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other important high-tech industrial parks in China.

In this survey, there are 85 16 positions that Linux needs to recruit. We will make a statistical analysis of these jobs from the perspectives of job types, entry conditions, salary level, work experience and requirements for certification, so as to help Linux practitioners or friends who are going to engage in Linux careers better plan their careers.

1, entry requirements

Working in the field of Linux does not require strict academic qualifications. As long as you have a certain computer and Linux foundation, you can grow up in your work.

Among the 85 16 recruitment positions surveyed, although undergraduate education is the mainstream academic requirement of current recruitment enterprises, the proportion reaches 78.9%. However, many enterprises fill in the column of educational requirements for recruiting employees with junior college, accounting for 18.3%, and some even have secondary schools or technical schools.

The reasons for this situation are: on the one hand, in the education system of colleges and universities, the curriculum is mainly based on Windows platform, and there is a serious shortage of talents familiar with Linux; On the other hand, the reason is that enterprises do not have high requirements for Linux talents, as long as they master Linux-related skills, they can be competent.

2. Job type

According to the company's specific job responsibilities and work contents, we divide the 85 16 recruitment post Linux into the following four types: first, development posts, including JAVA software development, C language software development, embedded software development, WEB development and other popular posts; The second is operation and maintenance posts, including popular posts such as system management, network management, safety management and pre-sales and after-sales technical support; Third, management work, such as project manager.

The survey shows that the development position is still the biggest demand for Linux talents, accounting for 53.5% of the recruitment positions, followed by the operation and maintenance position, accounting for 25.7% of the total recruitment positions.

3. Requirements for certificates

For those organizations that regard certification as an integral part of their IT staff development plan, because they have the basic skills of certification evaluation, they will get many benefits ranging from reducing risks to improving staff efficiency.

Of the 2 1679 recruitment information involved in this survey, * * * 839 positions have clear requirements for IT certification of candidates. The survey shows that Microsoft certification and Linux certification are the most popular certification at present, and their total proportion in the recruitment demand of this survey is as high as 77.4%, which is significantly higher than that of cisco certified and Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

At present, the well-known Linux certifications in China mainly include RHCT certification and RHCE certification of Red Hat, RCE certification of Hongqi, SUSE certification of Novell and LPI certification of Linux neutrality.

As Red Hat is the largest Linux vendor in the world at present, it has a broad customer application base. The certification of Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) is a good example of targeted certification, which fully demonstrates the role of certification in reducing enterprise risks and improving enterprise operations, and has been fully recognized by Linux enterprise users. Therefore, in the certification requirements, there are Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) and Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT).

4. Job experience requirements for recruitment positions

According to the survey, among 85 16 positions with recruitment needs for Linux, having 1 to 3 years of relevant work experience is the main work experience requirement for applicants at present, accounting for 76.6%.

Due to the lack of Linux talents, some enterprises are willing to train their employees, such as fresh graduates and students in school, although the proportion is very small, accounting for only 1.5%. However, this is a good employment and practice opportunity for college graduates and college students. Therefore, it is very helpful for college students to participate in some Linux projects or participate in Linux-related training in software companies during their school days.

5. Salary level of the recruitment position

In the process of this survey, most recruitment companies take the form of negotiation in terms of salary, and only 376 recruitment positions clearly give the salary range.

Generally speaking, the salary of 4000- 14999 yuan is the mainstream salary level of Linux employees at present, accounting for 58.8%. In addition, the salary level of 3000-4499 yuan accounts for 16.0%.

It is understood that the monthly salary of ordinary Linux network managers is about 5,000 yuan, the monthly salary of Linux software engineers in charge of programming is about 8,000 yuan to 1.2 million yuan, and the monthly salary of Linux embedded software developers is about 1.2 million yuan.

There are two important factors that affect the salary level of Linux practitioners: one is the length of working hours, and the other is the specific jobs. According to the results of cross-analysis between the salary level of 376 posts and their working years, we can see that the longer employees enter the Linux industry, the higher the salary level, and the greater the gap. In other words, after entering the Linux industry, it is an inevitable result to get a high salary as long as you stick to your work interest.

Another important factor that affects the salary level is the career development and specific work of Linux practitioners. The career development track of every Linux practitioner is nothing more than from basic R&D personnel or system maintenance personnel to project managers, information directors or higher-level jobs.

This survey shows that the salary level of operation and maintenance posts is mainly 2000-9999 yuan, and that of development posts is mainly 4500- 14999 yuan. Once it develops into a management position, the salary level is mainly 10000 yuan.
