INCLUSIVENESS IN ORGANISATIONS
A study shows that inclusive (diverse) teams are teams that make better business decisions by up to 87%. Explaining the issue of inclusivity: it can be defined as creating conditions in a company where an employee can develop regardless of origin, gender, age or sexual orientation. Building an inclusive organisational culture also means creating opportunities for employee development regardless of their seniority in the company, family situation, or function and position. It is necessary to build awareness about the role of inclusiveness in companies and thus about the essence of dialogue, which is the basis for building a work culture.
&nbsp;
SECURE THE WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Many women who have children or are planning to have children and are interested in working in IT have doubts as to whether they will be able to reconcile their professional and private lives. They fear that the rapidly growing industry will dominate their lives. The IT industry is an ideal place for a parent. Flexible working hours that can be adjusted to one's needs and the possibility to work remotely, not only dictated by the coronavirus pandemic but also by the specificity of the sector, are the main positives that determine the fact that IT fosters the work-life balance trend. It is also worth noting that technology companies have been pioneers in creating a parent-friendly environment. Support for women on maternity leave and company cr&egrave;ches and kindergartens are gaining in importance. The forbearance and flexibility of employers in the IT industry is also manifested in dedicated onboarding after returning to the organisation after a break associated with the growth of the family, or the ability to adapt projects to the individual needs of their employees. Mutual respect for free time is also another reason to consider a career in the IT industry.
&nbsp;
POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT PATHS IN THE IT INDUSTRY
The issue of a career change and women entering the IT industry is no longer unheard of. As many as 56% of women who work in the sector have had a career change process. Regardless of their previous occupation - being a doctor, archaeologist, HR professional, translator, or service or retail worker - everyone has the chance to follow the technological path and enter the IT industry. However, it should be noted that a significant issue that blocks women is a lack of self-confidence, fear of the unknown and a natural tendency to underestimate their competence. However, mentoring programmes and community groups of women in IT can help as they support, motivate and share their experiences.&nbsp;
The IT industry creates a variety of jobs, so when you decide to take your first step in this sector, you can choose between professions such as programmer, software tester, UX specialist, cyber security specialist, or the recently increasingly popular data analyst, which was a new profession just a few years ago. This sector, like any other, has its difficulties. Still, it is so exciting and diverse that, indeed, everyone can find a profession for themselves that is consistent with the competencies or soft skills they have acquired so far.
&nbsp;
WHAT DISQUALIFIES YOU FROM WORKING IN THE IT INDUSTRY?
Many women fear that they will not cope with working in the IT industry due to common mathematical knowledge or poor English skills. However, it should be emphasised that mathematics, although it plays a big role in the industry itself, is not so crucial in individual positions. However, what is important, even in the work of a programmer, is the ability to think logically and combine facts. Knowledge of English is one of the key skills on the labour market regardless of the industry, but even with a basic level, you can start training for a given profession. Over time, as you speak the language more often, your level of English will increase. So you should not be afraid of your current level of knowledge.&nbsp;
Another uncertainty related to retraining is age. When is it not too late to retrain? Is there any age limit for entering the IT industry? The only barrier to retraining can be a person's attitude to take this kind of 'risk', while numbers should not matter. When implemented in companies, inclusiveness should manifest itself not only in gender but also in age diversity.&nbsp;
The majority of society will not avoid the process of re-branding because, according to the World Economic Forum, by 2050, every second person will have to change profession. Within 10 years, 9 out of 10 professions will require digital competencies. There is something for everyone in the IT sector, but not everyone will find themselves in it. What is essential is natural curiosity and the desire to acquire new knowledge. This is because the technology sector is constantly evolving, and therefore its employees need to improve and keep up with changes to remain competitive on the job market.
&nbsp;
WHERE TO START TO ENTER THE IT INDUSTRY?
IT courses, IT studies and self-study were cited as ways to gain digital competencies. A coding bootcamp, is a good option for people who need external motivation. Additionally, the course allows you to interact with people from whom you can learn a lot, something you don't have to deal with when choosing to learn on your own. Gaining factual knowledge is an integral part of the re-branding process, which is worth involving third parties in through participation in mentoring programmes or active involvement in the life of the female IT community. This will allow for quicker access to knowledge from practice.&nbsp;
It is also worth remembering to come prepared for the interview, i.e., familiarise yourself with a given company's activity, check its social media, website, or the latest news about the company published on internet portals. Such research positively affects the interview because recruiters will easily notice this knowledge in the candidate. In addition, it pays to be active during the recruitment, i.e. asks questions or make notes of the most important information. However, above all, you should come to the interview with a partnering attitude - to present yourself as well as possible and get as much as possible out of it. Let's remember that companies also care about giving themselves well in the eyes of a potential employee.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
BE MOTIVATED. THE THING STOPPING YOU THE MOST IS YOURSELF!&nbsp;
Remember not to be afraid when entering the IT industry. Many women have already succeeded in this business. Keep an open mind to the opportunities that await you, and don&rsquo;t let the prejudices stop you from achieving your goals.&nbsp;

WOMEN IN IT II - WHY ARE WOMEN AFRAID OF BECOMING PROGRAMMERS?

programming

women-in-it-ii-why-are-women-afraid-of-becoming-programmers

The IT sector in Europe is developing dynamically. It is estimated that over 5,5 million specialists work in this sector and there is a shortage of nearly 500 thousand. Despite this bright horizon, women constitute only 25% of people employed in the IT sector. Although there has been a slight improvement in recent years, forecasts do not indicate a reversal of this trend in the short term.&nbsp;
MYTH 1: MEN ARE MORE COMPETENT IN TECHNOLOGY
Lack of confidence is probably the number one reason why there are not more women working in technology. There is a common myth that girls are worse at learning science. This makes them start to believe that they are not good enough. However, it is important to stress that no 'technology chromosome' predetermines the difference in ability between boys and girls. No research proves that gender influences faster and more effective learning in a given field. It is also important to remember that the first programmers were women. Before the advent of personal computers, when computers took up entire rooms, women accounted for almost half of those employed in IT.
&nbsp;
MYTH 2: WOMEN ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE IT INDUSTRY
Girls are constantly steered towards "feminine" professions and feel strange if they show interest in science subjects. They are less likely than men to go into the IT industry because prejudice and lack of support make them think it is very complicated and not for them. There is also a common misconception that professions in technology are seen as geeky and unsocial, and there is a lack of female role models.
The stereotype that girls are unwilling to work in IT effectively disproves women's existence and thriving community in technology. Organisations such as Women Who Code and schools like Coders Lab prove that women are hungry for knowledge and determined to enter the IT world. This is evidenced by the rooms filled to the brim at meetings organised for women or the growing popularity of thematic blogs aimed at girls.
Women are increasingly choosing to complement their competencies or start their IT careers by participating in programming, testing or data analytics courses. Last year alone, 588 women took part in Coders Lab courses, which accounted for ⅓ of all course participants. Each year, the growing number of female students proves that women are open to new technologies and the IT sector.
&nbsp;
MYTH 3: WORKING IN IT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH A HARMONIOUS FAMILY LIFE
Whether you can reconcile work and family life depends on your employer and your ability to set and maintain boundaries. However, it's worth noting that companies in the technology industry are most willing to be flexible in the workplace. Many companies are keen for their employees to work remotely, which can have a significant impact on balancing family life and work. In addition, working in IT often involves a task-based approach, which provides the opportunity to be flexible with the hours spent on a particular project.
Despite the many challenges the IT industry offers, it is therefore easy to take care of one's work-life balance. It is also worth mentioning that the progressive digitalisation and the demand for specialised staff make the IT market considered the most secure. Jobs in the IT sector will certainly not be in short supply, and the need for specialists in this industry will even grow, so it is a very tempting prospect for women. Working in IT can guarantee stability, which is of great value when leading a family life.
&nbsp;
BECOME AN IT SPECIALIST!
As you can see, it is very easy to dispel one myth after another that separates women from IT work. There is still a lot of uncertainty and a lot of work to achieve equality between men and women in the labour market. Don't let these stereotypes limit your potential. If the IT industry interests you, go ahead!

WOMEN IN IT - FACTS AND MYTHS

women-in-it-facts-and-myths

1. Talk to a Course Advisor - nothing helps like a conversation. Our Course Advisor is an experienced consultant who will talk to you about your needs and even your personality traits - yes, that's important too. Years of experience means we can see what programming language is for who and are happy to suggest which path to take.
2. And you know what? Our Course Advisor knows what she's selling because she took our course. This allows describing the learning experience better and more accurately. In the case of talking with our competition, it's worth asking the person you're talking to whether they've taken on such a challenge or are simply selling a product.
3. An aptitude test is our next helpful solution for choosing the right language. Do the aptitude test if you want to clear up any doubts about which course to choose.
What makes up our price?
On the internet, you can easily find course offers for both 300 euros and 7,000euros. But what determines the value of our course? How do we relate to the market offer? Why are we more expensive than the very cheap courses available on popular course platforms? And more affordable than the products of top European bootcamps? You will find your answers below.
The Mentor
We do not accept half-measures and want to approach every student individually. We know that problems that may arise while learning programming may require explaining it in many different ways until you finally understand the topic. A course in the form of a ready-made recording that can be produced once and then sold in an infinite number of copies will not give you that. That is why you will have contact with a Mentor on our course - a person who will be with you from beginning to end in the learning process.&nbsp;
What does a Mentor do?&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>answers all your questions and&nbsp; is there for you to learn to code</li>
<li>helps you solve problems if they arise at the Prework stage</li>
<li>shares their professional experience with you</li>
<li>will motivate you in moments of doubt</li>
<li>will show you how to apply the knowledge gained in your future work</li>
</ul>
In-group motivation
We believe that motivation under challenging moments is the key to success in learning to code. In our course, you will have the opportunity to interact with other participants to exchange experiences at different course stages. Some of our students even develop friendships after the class is over. Coders Lab focuses on teamwork and mutual support, not on competition.&nbsp;
&ldquo;What I see is that it&rsquo;s nice to be in a group and when you see that people are very motivated. So I look up to them and I feel like I also need to push myself more. Plus Mentor&rsquo;s support is significant.&rdquo; Kat
Lecturers
During the course, you will work with a Mentor and with our lecturers. Yes, it will not be just one person who will teach you how to code! A relevant specialist in the field teaches each module. Each of them has a different professional experience and approach to teaching. They share a common passion and vast knowledge supported by many years of experience in the IT industry. Each of our experts is verified in knowledge and ability to share it with others, so we guarantee the best training staff to help you take your first steps in the IT industry.
They will watch over your learning progress. They will help you solve problems but never give you a ready-made solution.
Live Classes
When you buy our course you not only get ready-made materials to work on your own, but you also gain knowledge by participating in online classes. Without leaving home, without inconvenient commuting, you can make the best use of your time to improve your qualifications.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Price for value
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www-api.coderslab.com/uploads/media/default/other%20courses.JPG" alt="" width="559" height="389" />
Comparing the number of hours of live classes, our competitors lag: they offer between 112.5 and 183.7 hours live. With us, you will spend 188.5h, and on top of that, you will not pay a horrendous price for education preparing you to be a programmer.&nbsp;
Portfolio projects
Do you know what is most important to an employer when assessing your programming skills? PORTFOLIO. Let's not deceive ourselves - a certificate or a paper is not a piece of reliable information on whether the future employee can cope with programming tasks. Nor whether they will show a willingness to develop and improve. Programming is a dynamic field requiring constant, regular work and upskilling.&nbsp;
Coders Lab bootcamp is not just 7 months taken out of your life. Our bootcamp is the beginning of change and the development of good habits that will make you a good programmer. Our approach to teaching is to make you motivated, active and aware that your work is essential. That's why we require you to prepare a project for your 
We know that an investment in coding bootcamp is something that may block or postpone your final decision about enrolling on a course. To make it easier for you, we decided to give you an option of payment in instalments.
This way, you will be able to work on your career switch without a feeling that a coding bootcamp will deprive you of funds for basic needs and pleasures.&nbsp;
Our convenient installments: 490&euro; + 1250&euro; + 1250&euro;
What will you learn on our courses?&nbsp;
JavaScript Developer
During this bootcamp, you will learn to program the front-end, aka the part of websites and web applications that the user sees. You will turn graphic projects into working sites with animations and other visual effects. Your job will be to code web apps in a way that is visually appealing both on mobile and desktop devices, easy to browse, and correctly integrated with back-end systems.
Python Developer
After the back-end Python developer bootcamp, you will be able to program websites and web applications so that they do precisely what you want. By learning back-end Python, you will be able to write server-side code, i.e., an ordinary user cannot see and usually has no idea about it. You will be responsible for system logic and ensuring that the front-end part receives the appropriate information to display correctly in the browser window.
For more information, <a href="https://online.coderslab.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">download our handbook.&nbsp;</a>
&nbsp;
Who are we?&nbsp;
The history of programming bootcamps started in 2011 when the first course in this convention was launched in the US. In 2013, noticing the potential of a new approach to programming education, two brothers, Marcin and Jacek Tch&oacute;rzewski, opened their first programming school in Central Europe. Since then, Coders Lab has expanded to another four countries (Czech Republic, Austria, Spain, Romania). Coders Lab keynote was innovative thinking about education towards the growing IT market from the very beginning.&nbsp;
With eight years of experience, nothing is impossible for us. There is no one we can&rsquo;t teach coding - our graduates include musicians, geologists, humanists, drivers, soldiers, people working in gastronomy and many others. Our goal is to provide high-quality learning materials for beginners to help you feel confident when you land your first developer job. And, what&rsquo;s most important, we want to show you that learning to code is not that scary, and a career change is possible with the right attitude and guidance.&nbsp;
Do you have any more questions? We will be glad to help!&nbsp;

WHY LEARN PROGRAMMING?
IT is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world. This dynamic development causes creating many new jobs for specialists in the industry. Currently, in Europe, there are about 5,5 million programmers. However, the market demand is much higher - official estimates say about 500,000 IT specialists are missing in Europe. The IT industry tempts many people with high salaries and the possibility of rapid promotion. A high level of salary in the IT industry can be reached much faster than in the retail, service, marketing, consulting or even financial sector.
FROM AMATEUR PROGRAMMER TO JUNIOR!
If you have never been exposed to programming, you need to be patient because you will probably spend 300-400 hours learning the basics of programming. You mustn't lose motivation at this stage and think about why you decided to learn to code.&nbsp;
How long will it take you to learn the basics? If you study for an hour a day, you will spend about a year at this stage. However, if you are pressed for time and dedicate 6 hours a day to learning programming, you will achieve the same result in as little as two months. You will have acquired skills that will allow you to write your first programs and applications at this stage. You will feel great satisfaction and see the results of your hard work! After this time, you will master the basics enough to get your first job as a Junior Developer.&nbsp;
<a href="https://coderslab.com/en">Start learning programming from scratch &rarr;&nbsp;</a>
Your start in the IT industry
But this is just the beginning - there's still a lot to learn. At this stage, you should mainly work on your projects. Recruiters are looking for programmers who are passionate and have a track record. It's good to create your website, help your friends optimise their online shop, get involved in the programming community, etc. Thanks to such projects, you will learn in the best way - through practice. And it is precisely such juniors that companies like to hire. Even if you don't have specific skills "to start with", the company will train you and pay you decently for your work if you show enough commitment to learning!
As a junior, you will perform simple tasks independently under the guidance of experienced colleagues. They will teach you new things and give you increasingly advanced problems to solve. They will also show you how to improve your code. They will take you to industry conferences. All this will make you constantly develop and acquire new skills. This is the next stage of your learning - practice, practice and more practice. As a junior programmer, you will work for about 1 - 2 years.&nbsp;
INDEPENDENT PROGRAMMER AND LEARNING TO PROGRAM ON YOUR OWN
In retrospect, you will see that your programming language has changed considerably. Technologies that were new at the beginning of your apprenticeship are now obsolete. Therefore, you must expand your knowledge at every stage of your career. When you work independently on projects, you will feel even more responsible for your development. You will have to search for information yourself on how to do something better, smarter and faster. You can be active in developer communities, for example, on developer forums. Working as a developer is a constant learning curve. You need to keep up to date with all the latest news and technological changes to remain attractive in the job market. Medium Developers are currently the most sought-after group in the IT industry. 
A CAREER IN IT - SENIOR DEVELOPER
Next, you will become a Senior Developer, possibly even a team leader. You will share your knowledge and experience in programming courses. You will also be the one to teach junior developers that there is always room for improvement.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
LEARNING TO PROGRAM LASTS A LIFETIME
IT is an industry where a lot changes from year to year. To keep up to date with the news, you need to develop and improve your skills constantly. Working in IT is a job for someone who likes to expand their knowledge and learn new things. Entering the IT world is definitely about lifelong learning. When you start learning to program, you have to be prepared for continuous learning. IT is a highly dynamic industry where you need to constantly update your knowledge to keep up to date with new technologies and coding languages. However, changes in the job market, automation, and AI development require adaptability skills from employees in most industries. It pays to be prepared for this, if only by developing your technological skills.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN PROGRAMMING?

how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-programming

From the text, you will learn:
<ul>
<li>what an IT project is,</li>
<li>what types of IT projects do we distinguish,</li>
<li>why interesting projects in IT are important,</li>
<li>where you can carry out IT projects.</li>
</ul>
Finally, we will remind you of some interesting IT projects that have been warming the hearts and souls of Internet users for the last few years. Just go to the Google shop or the App Store. You will find there many products that were brought to life by IT professionals. For the rest, just turn on your browser because every page that you enter (and you browse hundreds, if not thousands of them every day) is the fruit of the work of development teams.
WHAT IS AN IT PROJECT - SIMPLE QUESTION, SIMPLE ANSWER!
An IT project is nothing more than a project conducted to create a specific IT system.
But don't let the word "IT" fool you. It is not simply about working with computers. After all, the IT industry is not only for programmers but also for project managers, testers or data analysts.
&nbsp;
IT PROJECTS - TYPES
You know, it's tough to have a clear and readable classification of IT projects. They all intermingle a lot. And this is what is most intriguing in them. By the way, it also gives more development opportunities.
IT projects can be divided according to their final effect, i.e. the product. Projects of this type are based primarily on:
<ul>
<li>software production</li>
<li>software implementation</li>
<li>implementation of IT infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
Effects of these activities include, among others, technologically advanced websites, intuitive e-commerce generating profits, various mobile applications or subscription platforms that teach and entertain.
&nbsp;
WHY INTERESTING IT PROJECTS ARE IMPORTANT?
Are you wondering why we are talking about IT projects at all? We simply want to show you this side of working in IT. After all, by observing the market, talking to our students, and through our partnership with <a href="https://digitalsource.io/8-steps-in-considering-the-right-coding-bootcamp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digital Source</a>, we know what employers and employees pay attention to.
Exciting projects in IT and the use of new technologies. These elements come up most often in conversations with our graduates - also those who have been in the market for years.
This is not surprising. Projects that require creative thinking and finding original solutions give a lot of pleasure and are also a field for learning and polishing skills.
&nbsp;
INTERESTING PROJECTS IN IT - WHERE TO WORK TO PARTICIPATE IN THEM? EVERYWHERE!
IT projects of various types are currently implemented in every economic sector. Banking, education or healthcare platforms - none of these would exist without the reliable and creative work of development teams made up of programmers, testers, UX specialists, data analysts or project managers. Cybersecurity specialists are also not insignificant - especially in an increasingly digitised world.
So simply ask yourself what you enjoy most, what activities you believe in, which business sector you feel most drawn to. Once you know the answer to these questions - look for your place in companies that match your list the most.
You know, there are several developers, programmers and project managers working on our proprietary Learning Management System every day too!

&nbsp;
SAMPLE IT PROJECTS - CHECK WHAT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN!
Some of the examples are standard, but they have improved the quality of our lives. Others are solutions that no one asked for, but everyone dreamed of! If you enter the IT industry, you can participate in such exciting projects!
Check out the very subjective review of interesting IT projects that we have prepared for you:
1. Digital clothes
For several years, the trend for digital fashion has been conquering the global fashion market. Fashion houses no longer work only with designers but also with development teams. As an IT employee, you can take part in creating fashion. With this, you simply switch on an overlay with the appropriate garment during a video conference! There is no need to stock your home wardrobe with every possible outfit - a digital wardrobe will take care of the job. This is another significant step towards augmented reality, which is knocking loudly on our door already. 
2. The virtual world of Nike
The Nike brand has recently found its place in the meta-world by creating its virtual meta-city. It is filled with buildings, arenas and pitches where you can create and organise competitions, contests and tournaments. All you need to take part in them is a smartphone. The technology makes the player's actual movements transfer to the virtual reality of the game. In addition, Nikeland has its&rsquo; showroom there, where users can browse through the latest Nike products. 
3. Deep fake campaign
Deep fake - a technique of combining and overlaying images using artificial intelligence - is associated with manipulation. And in a way, it is. But it can be used in an interesting, positive way, like apps that face swap your face into movie scenes. The entire interactive part is the work of the programmers.
&nbsp;
4. AI-based code-writing tool
Development teams are also involved in creating tools that make their work become fabulously easy! An example of this is GitHub (if you're thinking about the IT industry and don't yet know what this is - you should catch up) with its modern solutions. A novelty is the GitHub Capilot they introduced - a tool that significantly speeds up writing code. By combining artificial intelligence with the analysis of enormous data sets, the above tool can suggest to the programmer which formula to put in the code next. A professional hint system? That&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re talking about!&nbsp;
Last but not least, there are all the banking applications, subscription platforms (thank you Netflix, HBO GO or Spotify during hard lockdowns!) or services that allow you to order your favourite food home (made by someone always tastes better!).
&nbsp;
IT PROJECTS - TAKE PART IN CREATING THE FUTURE
As you can see - IT projects are diverse, and you can find a place where your creativity and development will have a chance to shine! If that doesn't convince you about the IT industry, we don't know what will!

WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO WORK IN IT? THEY ARE CONVINCED BY INTERESTING PROJECTS!

why-do-people-want-to-work-in-it-they-are-convinced-by-interesting-projects

Are you happy with your current job? Or maybe you are wondering every day what you are still doing there? Is the work much below your competence and do you strongly feel inside that you can do better? Are you unhappy with your salary? Are you afraid about your future because of the growing costs of living?&nbsp;
THEN MAYBE THIS IS FINALLY THE RIGHT MOMENT TO ENROL ON A PROGRAMMING COURSE?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
WHY HAVEN&rsquo;T YOU DECIDED YET?
What are you afraid of? Of not having a clue about software development? Most of the people who start our courses have had these thoughts. Our graduates come from many different backgrounds - we taught a former geologist, soldier, waitress, paramedic, musician &hellip; and many more and helped them in their career switch. They too were not sure in the first place, yet still decided to try and succeed.&nbsp;
Coming up with something that you&rsquo;ll stick to can be exhausting and draining, but not when you have a plan of action. We are here to help you in achieving your goals. Coders Lab emphasises practical knowledge to help people in quick career change and personal development. To ensure their success, we hire experienced developers with a passion for coding and gear our students in the best tools on the market for remote learning.
&nbsp;
MAYBE IT&rsquo;S ABOUT THE PRICE?&nbsp;
Do you think that the price for coding bootcamps is quite high? And why should you pay for something that may be available online for free? Well, we&rsquo;re here to explain:
During a teacher-guided course, you have everything laid out, you get the filtered content, condensed, arranged in such a way as to transfer knowledge most effectively. As a self-taught person, you do not have the luxury of knowing where it is best to start. Self-learning is much more time-consuming than you think. Be realistic - is self-study for you at all? Are you actually able to stay focused and sit on the tasks for e.g. 4 hours a day without getting beaten up? Are you sure you won't give up when discouraged by the difficulty of the tasks? Isn't it better to be able to get prompts in difficult moments?
The salaries in the IT industry are high. Did you know that the average salary of a programmer (including junior programmers) often exceeds the national average? If you are worried that you will throw your savings at a very risky game then stop thinking this way. Consider a bootcamp as an investment. You have to calculate if the money you invest will return over time and how quickly it will happen.
If you wonder how to do it then, read<a href="https://digitalsource.io/8-steps-in-considering-the-right-coding-bootcamp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> this article </a>- we have an easy calculation solution for you to know if your bootcamp is worth it.
&nbsp;
SO HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN IN YOUR FIRST IT JOB?&nbsp;
Your salary will depend on:
<ul>
<li>the chosen technology you(front end, back end, tester)</li>
<li>the company you will work for (corporation, software house, marketing agency, etc.)</li>
<li>the chosen form of employment(B2B, contract of mandate, contract of specific work)</li>
</ul>
Generally, after graduating from a junior-level course, you can expect between 23,500 - 48,000 euros gross. You will earn more after back-end courses as opposed to front-end courses. A higher salary and more standardized remuneration system will be provided by a large company or corporation in contrast to a small software house.
WHAT&rsquo;S MORE TO EXPECT?&nbsp;
The sooner you start the better, as you will start building your developer&rsquo;s portfolio and experience. The IT industry is very lucrative. If you've been unsure whether it's worth switching to IT, this data will clear up your most important doubts.
Estimated annual salary:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Mid Developer's annual salary 30 500 - 60 000 euros</li>
<li>Senior Developer annual salary 34 000 - 75 000 euros&nbsp;</li>

&ldquo;THE MAN WHO SAYS HE CAN AND THE ONE WHO SAYS HE CAN&rsquo;T ARE BOTH RIGHT.&rdquo;
Our graduate, Martha, who has been working in gastronomy and had no clue about coding says:&nbsp;
&ldquo;I am currently working as a software developer for the fourth largest transportation company in the world. After the course, I found a job in 1,5 month.
I know many people who are afraid to sign up for such a course, they have the attitude of "Me a software developer? I'm sure I can't do it!", and I believe that everyone is capable of learning to code - it's just a matter of a little hard work and believing in yourself.
Now my life is much more interesting, it has changed for the better. I can develop myself in my work, I can set new goals in my work and achieve them. There is no more such boring repetitiveness in my life and I am a much happier person.
I think that going on the course was definitely the best decision in my life.&rdquo;

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #202124; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to many specialists, Big Data is the most promising field in the IT industry. Every year, the global Internet resources increase by 40%, and therefore companies invest more and more in analytical tools. It is not surprising that the lack of Big Data Specialists reaches 4 million on the labour market in the United States alone, and Data Scientist is the most sought after profession. For most companies, effective analysis of the obtained data and making the right decisions based on it is now a key challenge. Data Scientist is a person who combines the competencies of a programmer and a data analyst. The languages ​​that are used in this field are Python and R they should be learned by a person who wants to develop in this direction. If you are interested in a career in IT as a Data Scientist, you should be inquisitive, willing to experiment with various methods and be able to analyze and draw conclusions. The basic competence in this IT profession is also a great knowledge of statistics and econometrics.

Work on the development of artificial intelligence is carried out intensively all over the world, and even today cognitive computing is playing an increasingly important role. The most famous project in this field was launched by IBM, which released a machine called Watson, based on Machine Learning. Thanks to advanced algorithms, he defeated people in game shows, but also advised doctors on therapies for specific patients. The more and more dynamic development of this type of projects creates a demand for specialists in this field. As a Machine Learning Specialist, you will be responsible for developing programs that are based on logical reasoning, interpret and learn from the collected data, and use conclusions to solve various problems.
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #202124; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most popular languages ​​in Machine Learning today is Python, so if you want to progress in this direction, you should start learning it. Additionally, you should be fluent in English and be thorough, perceptive, and patient. Advanced knowledge of mathematics is a required skill in this profession of the future. Thanks to this, you can create mathematical models based on which AI learns to process data in the way we want.

Coders Lab and InPlay Recruit To Deliver Bespoke Training and Recruitment Programmes To The Gaming Sector

<h2>Learning to program - the beginning of a passion for new technologies</h2>
Martha, Coders Lab: Stan, where did your adventure with front-end and programming start?
Stan: My first exposure to programming was in secondary school. I remember the first programming classes, which were voluntary and were taught by programmers from my town. The topics discussed were so interesting that it encouraged me to develop further in this field. Programming interested me a lot at that time. Besides, I always liked working with computers and it never gave me any difficulties. Of course I was far from my friends who at that stage were able to assemble computers by themselves. I was not such an ace but I know that many people had worse computer skills than me.&nbsp;
In addition, thanks to the work of my older brother, who is still a programmer, I was able to see what the IT world looks like, how he works every day and what tasks he performs in his position. I think this also pushed me a lot in the direction of this industry.
Martha: You had somewhere to draw inspiration from, but some first steps in education had to be taken. How did your programming education begin? Was it through college?
Stan: Yes, it was college. I chose computer science, which seemed to make the most sense to me. As I thought about programming, computer science appeared to me as a natural choice. Perhaps I was wrong, perhaps not. Maybe other fields of study would have been more suitable for me, but for that moment it was computer science.
Martha:&nbsp;Was your studies purely focused on Computer Science or did you have any specialization related to programming?
Stan: I didn't have any specialization, it was just Computer Science.
Martha: And what kind of results did you expect from this course and your studies at the university?
Staszek: I expected that the moment I get out of college I could head to a software company. Present my diploma and compete for a junior position. It was obvious to me that in order for something like that to happen I had to be able to program. However, when I started studying computer science there was very, very little programming in the curriculum. Of course, I can not speak for other faculties, but exactly on my computer science course learning to program took one hour per week. The rest of the time I was learning higher mathematics and economics. For some IT professionals, higher mathematics is necessary and useful, but not for all. From my 2.5 years of experience, I know that I have never used math at a higher level than elementary/middle school as a programmer.
Martha: And that's when you started to wonder if it makes sense? Will coming to more classes give you the effect you wanted?
Stan: Yes, I started looking for alternatives.
Martha: And you found us - Coders Lab.
<h2>What was it like learning at the Coders Lab programming bootcamp?</h2>
Stan: Yes, although in fact it was you who found me. Even before I made my decision I came across an advertisement of Coders Lab somewhere on the Internet. And when I came to the conclusion that I came to the wrong place (maybe also at the wrong time), I remembered that there is such a place like Coders Lab, where I can start a programming course. I typed it into a search engine, got in touch, and I think I did the right thing.&nbsp;
Martha: And our Career Advisor helped you choose a programming course. Which one?
Stan: Initially, I chose a programming bootcamp - Web Developer PHP, but due to an insufficient number of applicants, the course did not take place. I was then offered another course, which was called JavaScript Developer.&nbsp;
Martha: How do you recall the programming bootcamp classes at Coders Lab?
Staszek: The cool thing about the programming course was that each module was taught by a different lecturer. Each of them had a different approach, experience, liked something different about programming and had their own way of teaching. So you could meet several different personalities and talk to them. Classes in my opinion were fantastically prepared. The presentations were polished with great attention to detail from the first minute to the last. I am a perfectionist and I pay attention to such things, it is very hard to please me. Of course, you have to take my word for it, but really the quality of the materials prepared by the Coders Lab team was at a very high level. I did not miss anything. Maybe I would have raised the level of difficulty, but I know that many people on my course definitely were thinking the opposite. For me, some things on the programming bootcamp came easily, but I know that not everyone had that.
Martha: That is, the difficulty level of the programming course at Coders Lab was tailored to different types of people - some need more time to learn, some less.&nbsp;
Stan: The material itself at the programming bootcamp at Coders Lab was uniform, but the great thing was that we had a teacher on hand, ready to answer any questions. So if someone had a problem, there were no complications. The teacher helped him and they worked together on the problematic issue.&nbsp;
<h2>Job after programming course - how to land it?</h2>
Martha: Okay, bootcamp is over, you've learned to program, and what's next? You have to use it somehow.&nbsp;
Stan: As much as possible. I started my job search immediately. I know that even some bench mates have already started sending out resumes during the programming course. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a job right away and was forced by fate to touch a slightly different field. However, in the end, I managed to enter the IT industry.&nbsp;
Martha: How long did you look for a job after the course?
Stan: For the job itself I was looking for 2 months. And as I mentioned before, I tried to find something as a programmer, but I didn't succeed right away. However, I didn't give up overnight or after 1 week of trying. I went on a very large number of interviews, there were a dozen of them. In most cases, the recruiters couldn't even tell me why they were rejecting me, and these weren't meaningful reasons. As a result, not having anything to do with myself, I decided to go for another job.&nbsp;
At some point, I came across a free workshop organized by Efigence agency, which was led by 2 experienced programmers, with whom I became friends. I asked if any of them would like me to join their team or if any of their friends were looking for someone to join their company. We managed to contact each other and after a week I learned about my new job. And that's how my proper career in IT started. It's a bit sad, but I think it's a specificity of the whole world, that connections have great power.&nbsp;
Martha: However, it was a good sign that you were invited to these recruitment interviews. This means that your portfolio definitely caught the attention of employers.
Stan: Yes, there was no problem with that.&nbsp;
Martha: That's great. Tell me, what are you doing these days?
Stan: At the moment I am self-employed, which is very popular in our field in this profession. It allows me to do assignments for several companies and not just one. I mainly work for Movecloser, a company based in Warsaw, with which I am very good friends and I love working with them.
Martha: What would you like to say to people who are considering the course?
Stan: I would guess that many of them may have friends who work somewhere in IT, maybe they are strictly programmers. They may be asking those friends about the validity of going to a programming course. I know that a common argument in the IT industry is that you are paying someone money for something that you can do yourself. This is partially true, I agree because programming can be learned on your own. You can do it from books or online sources. I know, because I learn something new every day myself. However, having this comparison from today and looking at the pace of self-study, I also know how much faster it was during the course in Coders Lab. I was taught by a teacher, and then I solved the homework by myself. For people with not the best willpower and determination (I am one of them), it is hard to organize 10 hours of learning a day. Here it was possible because I had a teacher who pushed me all the time and in my opinion that was a very important advantage.
Martha: When learning on your own, you often run against a wall that you can no longer jump over by yourself. On the course, you have a person who will explain everything to you.
Stan: Yes, no one is left without answers on the course.&nbsp;
Martha: Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I think you will be an inspiration to many people who are thinking about entering the IT industry! 
If you don't have a few years to spare to gain a new profession, we have good news for you. To become a programmer, you don't have to graduate IT studies. Of course, they help, but lack of a degree in computer science will not disqualify you in any way. Skills are what counts, and these can be acquired in various ways: from self-study to online courses to programming bootcamps.

Computer science degree or bootcamp, which to choose

Computer science degree or a coding bootcamp? Which IT education path to choose?

computer-science-degree-or-a-coding-bootcamp-which-it-education-path-to-choose

We live in times of a fundamental transformation in the way we work. We are all participants in the fourth industrial revolution, which is associated with the extremely dynamic development of new technologies. The current revolution will have a much greater impact on the labor market than the previous ones. The trends visible today will affect the number of jobs, the evolution of professions, the development of employees, and the nature of the work itself.
The development of artificial intelligence raises many questions about what the<a href="https://coderslab.com/en/blog/europe-in-search-of-programmers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;future of the labor market</a>&nbsp;will look like. According to many institutions studying this subject, as many as half of the professions existing today may be replaced by robots and work automation. Experts from the analytical company Gartner estimated that in the next 5 years, over 30% of jobs in the US will be automated.
<h2 style="color: #626262;">A look at the megatrends</h2>
Megatrends are enormous forces transforming the entire societies. Which of them are currently dominant?
<ul style="color: #626262;">
<li class="MsoNormal">Technological development - rapid innovation progress: automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence are developing rapidly, making key changes in the nature and number of available jobs.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Demographic change - the world population is aging. This puts pressure on social and economic institutions as well as on the business world. Extending the average life expectancy has an impact on business models, longer seniority as well as training and employee development. Older workers will have to learn new skills if they want to keep their place in the labor market. Employee shortages will be supplemented by automation and robotization.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Rapid urbanization - we are observing a large increase in the relocation of people to large cities. The United Nations predicts that 4.9 billion people will live in large cities by 2030.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Resource scarcity and climate change - extreme weather, rising sea levels, water scarcity - that is the broadly understood climate change. As a result, new jobs will be created in the alternative energy industry. There will also impact the growing demand for the development of engineering processes, the design of green products, and waste management. The traditional energy industry is facing rapid restructuring.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="color: #626262;">The risks of automation</h2>
According to a research by Oxford University, over the next 25 years, a half of today's jobs will disappear as a result of technological changes. Production, logistics, and transport are particularly at risk from robotization. However, also the professions in the area of ​​office work, the insurance market, sales, finance, or part of the HR industry may be replaced by automation. HR software that already uses Big Data selects unskilled workers better than consultants from the industry. However, in the first place, occupations related to physical, repetitive work, data processing, and data collection will be replaced.
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, as many as 65% of children who are now entering education will work in professions that do not exist yet and are difficult for us to imagine. Examples of future professions that we can meet soon include robot therapist, digital currency consultant, genetics diversity agent, upcycling designer or wearable &amp; IoT solutions therapist. Currently, they sound like a science fiction movie, but 10 years ago, no one thought that Social Media Manager would be one of the most popular jobs in 2019.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="color: #626262;">Gloomy future ahead?</h2>
Many people are concerned about the consequences of automation and robotization on the labor market. But is there really anything to be afraid of? It seems that AI and robots can become a relief for us in routine and repetitive tasks. Some professions may disappear, but this is a natural sequence of things in the development of society. Ultimately, thanks to technological development, the&nbsp;<a href="https://coderslab.com/en/blog/europe-in-search-of-programmers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labor market will be saturated with new, as yet unknown to us, professions</a>. Automation and artificial intelligence are becoming a natural extension of our competences in working in every industry. Adapting to work with AI and robots is a must if we want to be up to date with what is happening in the labor market.
As a result of the dynamic development of technology, many new jobs will also be created. The fastest-growing professions and little threatened by automation are those related to renewable energy, broadly understood health, and technology. Global megatrends that significantly affect the labor market clearly define the directions of development - environment, health, and technology.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="color: #626262;">Preparing for changes</h2>
Despite the fact that automation and robotization will cover some professions, we do not have to be afraid of losing our job completely. Instead, we must&nbsp;<a href="https://coderslab.com/en/blog/the-one-minute-programmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prepare ourselves for a new reality</a>. How?
First of all, by constantly<a href="https://coderslab.com/en/blog/code-until-you-drop-what-is-a-coding-bootcamp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;developing your skills</a>. By learning new things and expanding our knowledge, we are able to quickly adapt to the changes that will affect us in a few years. It is also essential to understand new technologies and algorithms. It will allow you to function more efficiently in the era of technological revolution, but also help you acquire knowledge faster and adapt to changes. Automation and robotization of workplaces relieve us of many activities but also present us with new challenges. If you want to stay in the labor market, you must constantly develop your technological skills.
