Future of Software Developer in India

What is the future of the software Developer in India?

"No one knows what the future will bring."

This Question was asked 10 years ago, this question has been asked several times now and this question will be asked 10 years from now. Want to know the future? Sure. Some people will keep asking these questions and some people will keep creating the future. Some people like me will get tired of answering such questions and focus on creating the future.

 

There are plenty of good jobs for good programmers in good companies, no matter what the economic circumstances. The trick is to be really good. Programming is hard, and being a really good programmer takes a lot of talent and hard work.

First off, you have to love software development. It has to be a fun challenge for you. If it isn't, it can be one of the worst jobs (I think).

Software developers are the creative minds behind computer programs. Some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or other device. Others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or control networks.

Salary for Software Developer [Fresher]:

There is no fixed salary in the software field it vary from company to company and also on experience, you cannot predict it!

Career in software engineering is highly rewarding considering the present status of Information Technology. In the public sector companies, the starting salaries of software engineers are Rs 8000 to Rs 12000. However, private sector offers higher pay packet. A good software engineer can hope to start with a salary of around Rs 20000 to Rs 25000. Besides salary there are several other perks available to employees.

Payscale dot com Says,

A Software Developer earns an average salary of Rs 343,353 per year. People in this job generally don't have more than 10 years' experience. Skills that are associated with high pay for this job are UNIX, C++, and Java/J2EE. Pay for this job rises steadily for more experienced workers, but goes down significantly for the few employees with more than 20 years' experience.

Here is the list of different companies with their salary:

1.   TCS:  3.16 LPA

2.   CTS: 3.8 LPA.

3.   WIPRO: 2.85 LPA

4.   IBM : 3.8 to 4.5 LPA

5.   INFOSYS: 3.2 LPA

Freelancing instead of regular job: 

You will be getting more money if you are in to freelancing but the real pain is in marketing yourself. If you feel you are enough smart to market yourself then prefer freelancing. The best thing about freelancing is you will be getting an opportunity to meet lot of people.

Advantages of Working Freelance:

Freelancers can determine their own schedule and how much they want to work. As self-employed people, they can focus on a specific type of project or client if they wish. Freelancers get paid more than employees do, since they need to make sure they are generating enough income to pay for taxes, health insurance, and other necessary expenses.

Attention:

Freelance writing is a lonely job. Your only company is you and your computer. If you enjoy being surrounded by people, this is definitely the wrong career for you.

Future of PHP Developer

Question: (Asked by one PHP Fresher)

“After a long struggles got a small job in a new company as a PHP developer.
Some what happy and ready to join job.
But suddenly one day my friend’s uncle asked me what are you doing? I answered: recently got selected as a PHP developer in "some" company. He said PHP don't have better feature, don't waste your time. Just try jobs in another domain.

Again started confusion in mind!!!

Please give me appropriate answer for this issue.”

Answers:

You should have asked your uncle why he thinks that PHP has no future. I'm always surprised when people authoritatively predict the future and advice based on their own assumptions. 

Given the widespread adoption of PHP, I'd expect it to last for at a long time in future. Plus, you are essentially a 'programmer' and the language is just a tool. The main focus for any programmer has to be the 'logic implementation' which can make him/her get proficiency in any language quickly, when required. 

PHP is one of the basic languages to learn if you're making a career in web development.

Any kind of learning won't go to waste. When you become proficient in one computer language, it becomes very easy to grasp other languages.
Choose a technology and start coding. You won't regret.

And PHP, my friend, has the brightest future. 

I think most people fail to realize that if you choose to go into jobs - 99% of you won't be coding in just one technology / tool / language. That means, if you opt for PHP now, you won't work in PHP all your life. It's likely that you'll have to keep updating yourself with various programming languages.

Most of the people will shift into management mode.

PHP is considered to be limited to only web applications websites thing but if you have strong interest in web then PHP is just starting.
You have vast scope of learning jQuery, Ajax and HTML5, Json to web services. There is so much to learn and make a very successful career.
