How the current SDE1 and SDE2 will get accomodated in IT industry in future. Hear me out. Currently lets say there is a team of 10 members in one of the IT company. Lets say 4 are sde1, 4 are sde2, 1 is sde3, 1 is teamLead. Now in future since higher positions are very less, how these 4 sde1 and 4 sde2 will get accomodated. In past years, for those who are currently at manager+ positions, when they were sde1/sde2, at that time number was low, so they got accomodated easily in growing IT demand. But now it seems there are already too many IT companies, seems very low probability that count of IT employees in total of India will even increase by 10-20% in next 5 years. Every year lakhs of IT engineers are also getting graduated. They can get that sde1 positions, but what about current sde1 and sde2 ? Do we need to find another career ?
Whoever comments, please explain in detail your thoughts. Need some discussions to decide future career path.
This can be said of almost all industries. The following things happen:
10-20% will stop working (either because the other spouse is earning well or they have retired) 10-20% will move to other fields 10-20% will get stuck in lower paying jobs 10-20% will start doing consultancy work or open their own business
Some are stuck at the same designations or move to IC roles. Their title doesn't change but their salary does increase. Not everyone is interested in the higher level politics and are happy with their current work.
This is not a new thing.
This is an age old thing that you need less senior engineers compared to junior engineers.
What this has meant in bigger firms is that engineer can be at same level for long.
How this happens without frustrating the engineer is that next level bar is higher.
So in a way let's put it
If sde1 bar was x capabilities
Sde 2 bar was x++ Capabilities
Sde 3 bar was x++++ capabilities
Sde 4 bar was x++++++ capabilities
When the org realises that giving promotions like candies is not an option
Updated bar becomes like below
If sde1 bar - x capabilities
Sde 2 bar - x++++ Capabilities
Sde 3 bar - x++++++++ capabilities
Sde 4 bar - x++++++++++++ capabilities
Take any big company and you will see this
