When is the best time of year for programmers to change jobs?

Regardless of any position, the most important thing when changing jobs is to find a job that better matches your current requirements in terms of development potential and salary and benefits than the original company.

In this sense, there are only the most suitable opportunities for job-hopping, but there is no most suitable time for job-hopping.

What exactly is the traditional "gold three silver four" and "gold nine silver ten" golden job hunting season?

Let’s talk about the “Gold Three, Silver Four” first. This is actually the time after the Lunar New Year every year. A large number of companies choose to recruit at this time, and a large number of employees choose to change jobs at this time. The reason is actually very simple:

On the one hand, every company is accustomed to summarizing the company's overall situation and making a plan for the next year's work at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. This will inevitably involve the re-planning of personnel and the need to recruit some people who are suitable for the company. New employees with new strategies and business directions;

On the other hand, many employees have originally planned to resign, but as the Spring Festival approaches, they usually choose to receive year-end bonuses Then change jobs. In this way, after the company pays the year-end bonus, there will be career vacancies due to the resignation of a group of employees and the need to recruit new people.

Relatively speaking, the period after the Spring Festival every year is a better time to change jobs. However, during this period, although there are many recruitment positions, there are also many people applying for jobs, so job seekers need to weigh it themselves.

The so-called "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" are actually autumn recruitment for fresh graduates every year and have little to do with social recruitment.

In fact, in September and October, even if the average working person has the idea of ????changing jobs, they will wait until they get the year-end bonus and wait until next year. Especially for programmers, the so-called 13 and 14 salaries are more popular. If you leave before the year-end bonus is paid at the end of the year, you will basically not get it.

However, after 2022, the preferential personal tax policy for year-end bonuses will no longer continue and will need to be combined with annual income for tax calculation. Will programmers’ salary structure continue to adopt double salary at the end of the year or more? More plans will need to be observed later.

If this salary structure is also changed, then the so-called "Gold, Three, Silver and Four" recruitment season may be further reduced.
