Quick engineering salary comparison based on the #DEVBG stats from 2023 and 2024 in the Bulgarian IT industry. Dev.bg publish yearly a summary of the Bulgarian IT engineering salaries based on the job openings offers on their platform. https://lnkd.in/dNU5MD8D (2023 stats) https://lnkd.in/dX_dxvP7 (2024 stats) Based on the population data (let's assume it's a proper representation of the real world) we can determine the following: 1. PHP should be dead but it isn't (unfortunately) as it's one of the two categories with growing salaries in all job positions and ranges. 2. The second is the full stack development with a minimum drop of 65 levas in the first MID range(2-5 years) 3. All ranges except the Senior level(5+ years of experience) have a drop in salary compared to 2023 but for some seem negligible compared to the notion in the industry that "it's going down and AI will take over the world" :) 4. We can see that seniority still counts and there is now a shift towards growth of salaries of more senior people compared to others as the market tries to regulate. 5. There is still a lot of green for a "dying" and "shrinking" industry. P.S To anyone interested I can share the excel if needed but it's quite straightforward to generate it. *Legend: Diff min Mid - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Mid - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen Median - difference in the minimum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen Median - difference in the maximum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024

Should Devs Be Responsible for Ops? Happy Tuesday, everyone! I discussed with one Developer, who accidentally met during the flight somewhere around Vienna, and he has to create a k8s cluster, VMs as runners, CICD pipelines, etc all alone. I started questioning myself: Should Developers be Responsible for Operations? In the dynamic world of tech, the lines between development and operations are increasingly blurring. The age-old debate is more relevant than ever: should devs take on ops responsibilities, or should these roles remain distinct? The Case for Devs Handling Ops: 1. Ownership & Accountability: - When devs handle ops, they have end-to-end ownership of their applications. 2. Speed & Efficiency: - With devs managing deployment and infrastructure, the feedback loop is shorter. This leads to quicker releases and faster iterations. Think of it as driving a race car without pit stops! 3. Enhanced Collaboration: - Breaking down silos fosters better communication and collaboration. DevOps encourages a culture where everyone works towards a common goal: delivering high-quality software efficiently. The Challenges: 1. Skill Set Diversity: - Ops require a different skill set than coding. Expecting devs to master both can be overwhelming and might lead to burnout. 2. Complexity Management: - Modern infrastructure and deployment pipelines can be incredibly complex. Specialized ops teams bring invaluable expertise in managing these systems, ensuring stability and efficiency. Finding the Middle Ground: So, what’s the sweet spot? A balanced approach where devs have a basic understanding of ops, while dedicated ops professionals handle the more complex aspects, might be the solution I like. This hybrid model leverages the strengths of both worlds, promoting a collaborative environment without overwhelming any single team. What are your thoughts? Should devs dive into ops, or should these roles stay distinct? Let’s ignite the discussion! 💬🔥 #DevOps #Development #Operations #SoftwareEngineering #TechDebate #Collaboration #Innovation #CodeKido #TechTalk

We're always on the lookout for talent with Aliaksandr Beliayeu, our Department Manager from Vention Warsaw. Now, we seek .NET, DevOps, React Native, and Front-end engineers. I spoke to Alex about the benefits and requirements for these roles 😊 👇 👉 What would you say are the key benefits for employees joining your company? One of the biggest benefits is our diverse project portfolio. We work across various industries, using a wide range of tools and frameworks. This variety provides excellent opportunities for professional growth and helps our employees develop flexibility and adaptability, which are crucial in today's IT sphere. 👉 What qualities do you look for in potential candidates? I focus on two main qualities. First, candidates need to be smart - quick learners who are open to challenges. Technology and client requirements change rapidly, so adaptability is key. Second, they need to get things done. It's crucial to complete deliverables by specific deadlines, balancing perfectionism with practical results. 👉 Any other characteristics you value? I'd say communication and interpersonal skills are at the top of the list. Good communication can save a lot of time in coding and lead to better solutions for clients. Of course, strong technical skills for the specific role are essential too. The ideal candidate should be able to ask the right questions, propose better solutions to clients, and work efficiently within a team. 👉 Can you tell us a bit about your journey with the company? Certainly! I've been with the company for over 11 years now. I started when I was 19, and it's been quite a journey. The company is constantly evolving, and that's what I love about it. Every year brings new challenges and opportunities to learn something new. The stability for professional growth is really what keeps me here. Seems like a long-term place to stay!

“When Polish software engineers look for a job, they only care about their rate. How can we compete with higher paying competitors?” A client asked me this yesterday. While it’s not entirely true, it’s worth exploring. Do all engineers focus only on rates? No. Is the rate you offer important? Yes - but it’s not the only factor. Here are 4 ways to make your vacancy stand out (even if you’re not the highest paying): 1. Share Your Vision Explain where your business is heading and how the candidate fits in. When candidates see themselves in your story, the role becomes more appealing. 2. Build a Personal Brand for Your Leaders Candidates want to know who they’ll work with. Encourage your leadership team to share their views on technical topics. This helps candidates understand their style and values. It may deter some, but it’ll attract the right fit. 3. Be Transparent About Salary & Perks Don’t make candidates guess. Transparency builds trust. Worried about overpaying? You have the final say. Hiding salaries might cost you great candidates before they apply. 4. Offer a Low-Commitment Introductory Call Let candidates ask questions without starting a formal interview. This lowers pressure for those passively exploring roles. It builds trust and relationships. Even if they’re not ready now, they’ll return when they are. Focusing on the whole package, not just pay, helps you stand out. What’s worked for you when attracting top talent? How do you stand out from the competition?

So much for the basement-dwelling programmer stereotype 😉. Conferences like the International PHP Conference are splendid opportunities to gain new perspectives - and face new challenges. 🛠️ Programming is essentially about solving problems, and events just like this conference allow us to share experiences and learn from best of the best in the industry. During sessions and workshops, I got to hear real stories about real problems - how they arise, how to solve them - and how to prevent them from reoccurring. 😉 I had the pleasure of attending talks on the latest trends in PHP, code optimization and best practices in system architecture. I learned how to avoid common mistakes and what techniques to use to make our applications even more efficient and secure. 🖥️🔐 Meeting other specialists - once again - proved that exchanging insights is the key to growth. I'm glad I could be part of this inspiring community! 🤝✨ Thank you to all the speakers and participants for the incredible knowledge and motivation! 🙏📚 Topics covered: - PHP Core & Optimization [Bohuslav Šimek, Carsten Windler] - Refactoring [Ralf Eggert] - Testing, Test Driven Development, and Logging [Florian Engelhardt] - Software Architecture & Design Driven Development [Katy Ereira, Dr. Sönke J. Magnussen] - Security 🔒 - DevOps & Deployment [Nic Wortel] - Clean Code [Ondřej Mirtes] - Git Advanced & Working with abandoned Open Source Projects [Juliette Reinders Folmer]
