Author: Anonymous Reposted from: Chongqing Times

Core tip: Which industry will be the most profitable in 2005? Which positions offer the most attractive salaries? What are the new trends in the “money path” in higher vocational education? An analysis report by Beijing Foreign Enterprise Taihe Consulting Company shows that the overall salary situation in 2005 is quite optimistic, and the overall level may increase by 7.5% to 8.5% compared with this year. Salary levels in IT, retail, logistics, finance, online games, advertising, real estate and other industries will rise, and the competition for high-end talents will become more intense.

The industry with the most “money prospects”

IT industry: Keep the clouds open and see the sunrise

Reason for selection: In 2004, the IT industry showed obvious signs of recovery. . Foreign IT companies such as France Telecom and AT&T have entered China to varying degrees. As a result, domestic companies have stepped up their efforts to expand market share. For a time, market competition has been filled with smoke, which has greatly boosted the salary level of the industry. Among them, the performance of telecommunications value-added services is particularly eye-catching, and there are many opportunities for salary increases and promotions. The software industry is also performing well. It is estimated that the scale of the software industry in 2005 will reach 250 billion yuan. The demand for mobile phone talents is concentrated in the field of research and development. Talents with development and design experience can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month and enjoy project commissions. In addition, as the competition in the telecommunications market becomes increasingly fierce and develops from domestic competition to international competition, the demand for communication technicians will continue to escalate and deepen. In the past, undergraduates and junior college students were the most popular, but now master's and doctoral students are more advantageous. Of course, the salary level of such people also ranks first in the IT industry.

Kind reminder: Although the IT industry is full of opportunities and temptations, and the "money prospects" are quite optimistic, the segmentation of the industry has increased competitive pressure and the quality requirements for employees are getting higher and higher. Talents who intend to jump into this industry should pay attention to being fully prepared in terms of knowledge, skills, mentality, etc. Otherwise, the opportunity is likely to pass you by.

Retail industry: overall salary growth is fast

Reason for selection: The competition in China’s retail industry is extremely fierce. The best in the world. At least two-thirds of the world's 50 largest retail companies have entered the Chinese market. In accordance with China's commitment when it joined the WTO, China's circulation industry will be fully open to foreign investment in 2005. Affected by this, the domestic retail industry will enter a period of rapid development. While many multinational companies are accelerating their expansion, they are also desperately poaching people. From senior managers to ordinary store managers, everyone is being poached. The demand for talents in the entire industry is rising sharply.

Friendly reminder: Poaching is common in this industry, and the only mid- to high-level retail management talents move frequently among various retail companies. Most of them blindly pursue high salaries and rarely consider specific career plans. Experts suggest that instead of blindly changing jobs under the temptation of high salaries, it is better to accumulate experience in a company that suits you, make effective use of the company's training opportunities, consciously improve professional quality and core competitiveness, and quickly become one of the "scarce talents" in the retail industry.

Financial industry: Salaries are advancing rapidly

Reasons for selection: Fund industry, securities industry, insurance industry, banking industry As services become increasingly diversified and specialized, and abundant foreign capital continues to be injected into China's financial market, salary levels in the financial industry have been rising. In 2005, the annual salary of top management talents could reach 500,000 yuan, the annual salary of middle management talents was between 200,000 and 300,000 yuan, and the annual salary of general key employees was about 60,000 yuan. In the coming period, the demand for talents in the entire industry will remain on the rise.

Kind reminder: Although financial companies are recruiting with great fanfare, it does not mean that everyone can enter the industry. Future financial talents must be highly internationalized, have an international vision, a global awareness of capital operations, and be able to use global financial management tools. Otherwise, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the industry. Therefore, talents who have been engaged in a single function in the financial industry for a long time will depreciate and their promotion space will be limited. Appropriate expansion of business scope will be the key to maintaining and increasing value.

Real estate industry: The market is bullish all the way

Reason for selection: The concepts of "Olympic Games" and "Expo" are gradually becoming clearer , the real estate industry has become more and more prosperous, and the industry's demand for talents has skyrocketed along with land prices. It is expected that the growth rate of talent demand in the construction and real estate industry will exceed 15% in 2005. Accordingly, the salary in the industry is on the rise, and the salary level at the supervisor level can basically reach an annual salary of 60,000 to 100,000 yuan. Talent gaps are still concentrated in senior management positions, architects, planning and design personnel, professional engineers, supervision engineers, financial management and investment personnel, electrical engineers, project managers, etc.

Friendly reminder: The opportunities provided by the 2008 Olympic Games and the 2010 World Expo have caused the development of the real estate industry to exceed the normal speed. In the next few years, the industry may experience a resurgence, with both talent and wages experiencing a slight decline. However, judging from the current market development, the real estate industry is still on an overall upward trend in 2005, and the demand for all types of talents is rising steadily. It is recommended that before entering this industry, you should first clarify your future career development direction.

Online gaming industry: great market potential

Reason for selection: According to relevant statistics, by 2006, The total number of online game users in China will reach 44.9 million, and the market size of China's online games will exceed 8 billion yuan. Relevant national departments have made it clear that they support the game industry, which will become an emerging industry that attracts a large number of professional talents. The average salary for key positions in online games is about 20% to 25% higher than the average salary in the Internet industry. Key positions mainly refer to senior online game design, development and marketing personnel. Due to different development directions, the salary for the same position on different types of websites will be quite different.

Friendly reminder: To engage in the research and development and design of online games, you need to have a college degree or above, graduate from a computer-related major, be able to skillfully use C++, JAVA, VB and other programming languages ??or database software, and be able to adapt to Windows or Linux Different R&D systems such as R&D also require proficiency in English or Japanese.

Advertising industry: The momentum is still strong

Reason for selection: Advertising is an industry that creates trends and miracles. It can be said to be the most promising sunrise industry in the 21st century. China's advertising consumption is increasing at a rate of 20% to 30% every year, causing the average monthly salary of advertisers working in advertising companies to increase by 600 yuan in just one year. Starting from 2005, many foreign advertising companies will directly enter China and have begun to look for local talents, which has caused waves in the advertising industry.

Friendly reminder: As the industry develops and matures, competition will become more intense under the rule of "survival of the fittest". If you want to stand out from the competition, you must first practice your "internal strength", focus on self-cultivation and improvement of personality, actively and deeply understand the entire industry, make reasonable plans for your career development and put it into practice. Advertising is a very interesting industry. During the work process, you can be exposed to many new things, which helps you to continuously improve and perfect various professional skills. Of course, this is also an industry with huge work pressure, and every advertiser must have strong ability to withstand pressure.

Logistics industry: Steady development

Reason for selection: Beijing Olympic Games with a total market value of more than 100 billion yuan and the Shanghai World Expo, which made many domestic and foreign logistics companies excited, and recruitment "hydrangeas" were hung up everywhere. At present, the market demand for logistics talents exceeds 6 million, and they are listed as one of the 12 types of talents in short supply in my country. It can be said that China's logistics industry is at a stage of gaining momentum, with great market potential and broad prospects.

Friendly reminder: As an emerging industry, due to low entry conditions and uneven quality of personnel, the salary level of the entire industry has no obvious advantage compared with other industries.

But in the long run, as the industry gradually matures and the quality of talents becomes higher and higher, society's overall demand for the logistics industry continues to grow, and the salaries of core positions in the industry will increase significantly. Of course, only truly high-quality application and management talents can survive successfully in the industry.
