When Pearson Frank first approached me, I was not actively seeking a new job but had considered possibly changing employers in the future. I was hoping to work for a company that offered an attractive salary and in a good location in my hometown.

From the beginning, I dealt with Sylwia, who was kind and friendly, and she closed a successful and satisfactory negotiation with my new employer on my behalf. The process only took one month, and I would definitely recommend Pearson Frank to my connections.

“PEARSON FRANK CLOSED A SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION ON MY BEHALF; I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM TO MY CONNECTIONS.”

It is difficult to headhunt for IT professionals because there is a high demand but a small pool of available candidates in the market, and the good candidates tend to already be working. I was urgently recruiting and since Pearson Frank are the experts in Java, web, mobile, and PHP recruitment, they were able to quickly deliver high-quality candidates.

In the last year and a half, I’ve had a good working relationship with Recruitment Consultant, Essam, as he has successfully helped me fulfil seven IT roles across different companies and roles.

CODING FOR WORK AND PLAY

Respondents to the 2018 survey have been coding for many years, with over half (53%) learning to code a decade ago or more. 12% are relatively new to coding, having learned in the past three years.

However, the picture is reversed when we look at how long respondents have been coding professionally with an employer. Just over a third (35%) have been coding professionally for three years or fewer. In total, 69% have been coding with an employer for less than 10 years and 31% have been coding professionally for a decade or more.

BREAKING INTO THE INDUSTRY

Most of our respondents describe themselves as self-taught (85%). They have used various kinds of formal learning to develop their skills over the years, including:

LEARNING TO CODE

Self-taught coders also use a variety of less formal information and support, the most popular of which are online communities (85%), official documentation (77%), textbooks (48%) and tutoring/mentoring (36%).

New to coding? We asked our respondents to recommend ways to learn coding, for those who are interested but don’t know where to start. By far the most popular choice was online courses (86%), followed by working through exercises in books (42%). Others made the point that ‘simply doing’ is the best way to learn.

19%

Open Source contributions

66%

On-the-job training

82%

Online courses

15%

Part-time/evening courses

13%

Coding competitions

“Look for something that interests you, find out how it works, change it.”

“Whatever the way, find yours and work hard. Google is your friend!”

“You just have to start, and you must write your own code – play around and find out what works and doesn’t work.”

EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION

There appears to be little push for formal certification among the professionals who responded to our survey, with two thirds (68%) holding no certifications at all. Among those that do, no single type of certification stands out as being particularly popular. However, it should be noted by employers that almost three in ten (29%) employees who are looking to move jobs this year cite a lack of training opportunities as a reason to leave.

When it comes to education, 83% of respondents hold the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree or higher. Overall, 78% believe that formal education is important to a developer.

DESIRABLE SKILLS

Three quarters (74%) of freelancers/contractors who responded to our survey believe that employers should prioritise communication skills when hiring. Other priorities include having a track record of getting things done (60%), knowledge of algorithms and data structures (43%), experience with specific tools used by the employer (36%) and experience with specific project management tools and techniques (31%).

When asked to name the best ways to evaluate a developer, a range of external and internal evaluation techniques were chosen by our respondents:

CHALLENGESTOP CHALLENGES FACED

BY RESPONDENTS

Both general and project-specific, including working with complex or legacy systems.

Technical issues 31%

Such as keeping up to date with new technologies, and finding the time and resource to learn required skills.

Learning and development 22%

Including tight deadlines, demanding clients and people management.

Business requirements 21%

“Unpicking a system with little or no notes and no developer who has worked on the code still at the company.”

“Making sure that my code is up to scratch and that it’s been thoroughly tested as we don’t have a testing team.”

YOURVIEWS

“Understanding the intention of the person that wrote the code.”

For almost a third of respondents, technical goals and tasks are top of the list – and are the reason that many professionals thrive in a challenging environment. However, they may be compounded by other factors such as the pressures of commercial business, dealing with legacy software, lack of resource, or a historical lack of structure:

“Working on several projects on a daily basis written in different technologies and being dependent on multiple sub-components.”

For those who talked about the need to keep learning and stay up to date with new technologies, while this is a challenge it is not necessarily a negative issue. Time pressures keep developers on their toes. However, for some there is clearly an absence of support to enable them to learn, particularly from peers or more experienced developers:

“Working alone, I need to find my own way of doing things.”

“I have no senior developer to help me out with new technologies so I have to learn everything from my own experience.”

“We are few developers, so no one has got your back when you face new challenges. You’re mostly on your own, and have to find a solution yourself no matter what the challenges are.”

Several respondents commented that they struggle to meet the demands of a commercial business while delivering quality work in complex technical environments, especially if there is limited understanding of their role within the business:

“Non-technical project managers and stakeholders pushing deadlines with little understanding of the technologies being used.”

“Working in a non-tech environment with more traditional managerial styles that aren’t as suited for Agile software development.”

“During the discovery phase of project, people often underestimate the scope and requirements. This definitely creates an issue during delivery.”

PEARSON FRANK 26JAVA, WEB, MOBILE AND PHP SALARY SURVEY 2018/1925

WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Nearly four in ten (38%) permanent employees who responded to our survey expect to leave their current job in the coming year. A further 27% are unsure whether they will stay or go. Only 35% said they definitely expect to be in their job for the next 12 months.

Respondents who rated their current stress levels as ‘high’ are significantly more likely to seek to move in the next year than those who rate their stress as either moderate or low. Perhaps unsurprisingly, respondents who currently experience low stress are significantly more likely than the others to say they will stay in their role for the coming year.

MOVEMENT IN THE CHANNEL

Among those who expect to move jobs this year, 80% said they are actively looking for a new role. The reasons for moving tend to be related to an unsatisfactory working environment rather than practical factors – only 23% cited a planned move to another country and 8% are facing layoffs/redundancy. For the rest, top drivers to seek new employment are:

WHY MOVE JOBS?

66%

Looking for new challenges

61%

Lack of salary increase

55%

Lack of career prospects

43%

Lack of exposure to latest tech

38%

Lack of leadership or vision

34%

Working environment/culture

Respondents in permanent roles were asked to rate their levels of satisfaction with various aspects of their current job, from ‘Very Satisfied’ to ‘Very Dissatisfied’. Overall, 52% are either satisfied or very satisfied with their current employment.

Looking at average satisfaction levels, the areas that tend to be most positively rated by employees are cultural: colleagues, hours, location, office environment and company culture all score well. However, employees are less happy in relation to the financial aspects of their employment. Salary and benefits, while still edging into an average ‘satisfied’ score, are rated lower than those cultural factors.

Ranking even lower in terms of average satisfaction are factors linked to future prospects. Employees are, on average, neutral to slightly dissatisfied with the training and development on offer at their current role, and even less happy with the career progression opportunities on offer.

Respondents in permanent roles were asked to rate their current levels of stress as low, moderate and high. Those who rated their stress level as ‘High’ were less likely to be satisfied overall with their current job, compared to people with low or moderate stress levels. They were also more likely to be dissatisfied with career progression, training and development, company culture, benefits and hours.

Global data source andvalidation techniques

The global salary survey information was voluntarily self-reported by a total of 818 Java, web, mobile and PHP professionals, spanning a wide range of job titles, industries, languages, frameworks, and geographic locations from 23 countries.

Each survey response has been validated using robust statistical analysis and automated data validation rules in order to be included in the final results set.

Any data profiles that do not pass our validation rules and statistical analysis, or are deemed questionable, incomplete, or duplicate were removed in order to provide meaningful results.

Our internal teams have verified each Pearson Frank placement data point to ensure 100% accuracy with respect to base salary, bonuses, benefits, employer type, seniority, job title, technology and location.

No data has been artificially aged, nor have any results been extrapolated based on general inflation adjustments, or general wage increase trends. For the purpose of the survey, we will refer to all ‘data points’ as respondents.
