Mastering Python: The Language Behind the AI ​​and Data Science Revolution.

Good afternoon! My son has been away from Brazil for 11 years. He is married and has a 10-year-old daughter. He went to college (if he were here, he probably wouldn't have done it). My daughter-in-law graduated in Medicine this year.
We miss him a lot, but what makes us feel relieved is the safety of his family.

Érivan Franklin I am an IT professional, and now more than ever I am seriously thinking about leaving the country to work in the field...

In Brazil, IT has never been valued, and look at this beautiful profession

Jhenifer Griffin This is true, and nowadays there are many who are programmers just because they want money, and this is making the area more and more outdated.

Érivan FranklinYes, I'm already preparing my arm and passport

Érivan Franklin and I wanted to learn about the area and leave this country.

Adílio Silva Me in the same situation

Adílio Silva The problem is that a college degree alone is not enough; professionals must master a series of technologies in order to be qualified to apply for a position in a company.
Every day, a new technology emerges, and professionals must be able to keep up with the changes that arise in the market.
In addition to the fact that it is extremely challenging for professionals to stay up to date, unfortunately, the situation that people face is with companies that demand a lot and pay little.
The remuneration of IT professionals in Brazil is inversely proportional to what companies require in terms of technical training.
In the near future (as the report says), Brazil will not only need many IT professionals, but companies will also have to adapt to a new reality in terms of remuneration for these personnel.

Rodrigo Tavares Ferreira not to mention that sometimes a qualification course is expensive

Adílio Silva The foreigner will not work in person in Brazil.
He will be "hired" in the Home Office modality.
He will continue living in Bolivia, Ecuador, in these countries that are not as developed as Brazil and will earn a little money in reais.
It may not be much for those who live here in Brazil, but for those who live in a place WORSE than Brazil, it may be an interesting amount.

Alexandre Souza a certification is very expensive with the dollar at its current value, with no conditions, how can an IT professional qualify like this?

Of course, Diplomas and Certifications from IT companies are extremely important.
I think that nowadays, besides being interesting to have such distinctions, the greatest of all will be the one in which you demonstrate that you are really capable of knowing how to do the work that a company needs.
I am a Full Stack Developer (computer programmer).
I have had coworkers who had very good academic qualifications, but when it came to writing software code, they were not so good and consequently were dismissed in a short space of time.
Summary of the opera:
It is often more advantageous to demonstrate that you know how to do the job than to show Diplomas and certifications.

Rodrigo Tavares Ferreira that's right, having a certification doesn't mean that the professional is a genius, i've seen many colleagues with many certifications and in practice they don't know anything!

Jaqueline Vieira truth an absurdity!!

Jaqueline Vieira Which IT professional has lost their job due to the pandemic? To give you an idea of ​​how difficult it is to find people to work, the company where I work pays a bonus of R$500 if you recommend a professional and they are hired.

Braulio Cesar Holtz Ribeiro here in Rio de Janeiro the number of unemployed people has grown!!

Adílio Silva Really? I don't know, it's in Rio de Janeiro.
I received several proposals last year and this year, but my area is also programming, so it could be that within IT each area may have had a different performance.
Some companies benefited because of Covid, like iFood, Rappi, companies more in the ecommerce area.
There are also good websites, like geekhunter, I reveal, maybe something will come up there.

Good question.

i doubt

There are plenty of qualified workers. If they stopped requiring someone to speak 56 languages, have participated in the Afghan war, have two Nobel Prizes and have been to the Moon, to pay a salary of 1459.53, they think.

Raphael Cunha seriously, there are plenty of qualified professionals? I think it's good that you really get informed. There are no plenty of qualified professionals and no vacancies with a good salary, especially for technology professionals.

Look, the guy is right, there are several, I am one of them, and there are groups and more groups of IT vacancies with people wanting to work, but the salaries are worthy of misery. If you are going to be in a Call center and earn the same as IT, working like a donkey for almost 10 hours, I prefer the 6 hours of a Call center. 💁🏻‍♂️

Brendon Souza i also have a degree in technology, but people think that knowing how to format a computer is enough, but in fact it isn't. The area of ​​information systems or IT is very broad. If you ask an IT professional to work with a database or do some programming in any type of language, he won't know how. In fact, few will know how. Or even if you ask any technology professional to structure a computer network, not just any IT professional will know how. As I told you, anyone can know how to work with a computer's BIOS, but that doesn't mean that person is a qualified IT professional.

Neylton Oliveira I even think it's valid to know a little about programming to be an IT person, but another problem is that companies want to hire an IT technician and a programmer at the same time. It happened to me and I refused to continue. Miserable salary for not only being a technician, but also having to program the entire company system.

Adriano Nunes it's not because you graduated that you are qualified to be a developer, you have to do projects and specialize... Entering the field for money sometimes leads to this

earn better than in brazil
