Here Are the Two Things That Developers Value More Than Compensation When Choosing a Job

We have no shortage of sayings about the primacy of money. “Money talks”. “Show me the money”. “Put your money where your mouth is”. But we sometimes overestimate money's importance relative to many other things. This can be especially true when it comes to working and choosing which job to take. When it comes to why software developers choose one job over another, many people would assume that comp would be the deal-breaker. Show me the money, right? So that's why it might be surprising to discover that perhaps it is not. At least that's what HackerRank's 2019 survey of 70,000+ software developers found. Both professional growth and learning and work-life balance rank as more important (to software developers) than competitive compensation. Why? Developers tend to be extremely curious and independent. They are constantly learning, self-teaching, and re-tooling. They also want to be able to show up to work when…

Which Technologies Do Developers Want to Learn in 2020?

Every company wants to give its developers the right training. One of the easiest (and quite logical) ways to do this to make sure the training is on the right technologies. Nobody wants to miss out on their day-to-day project work to learn about outdated languages or libraries. Worse yet is having to take training on a technology you definitely won’t use or just don’t…

How Does the CTO Decide What Technical Training Is Needed?

A CTO, or chief technology officer, evaluates short- and long-term organizational needs, and makes capital investments in technology to help that organization reach its business goals. It’s the highest executive position for technology in a company, and it’s a strategic role. That does not mean, however, that it’s a stagnant one. Learning is very much a part of the picture, especially when it comes to…

Do You Know How Developers Feel About Learning?

If not, you should. Studying how software developers learn is key to understand how they perform in the workplace. Learning can affect how quickly they react to new stimuli, or how engaged they’ll be in solving business challenges. It can be a prime motivator in promoting high level performance, and its presence can indicate whether or not developers will stay with an organization long-term. Companies…

Do You Have the Right Training Partner to Meet Your Annual Goals?

Training and strategic business objectives are not mutually exclusive. Ideally, there will be close alignment between the two – if an organization wants to get its money’s worth. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and it can be especially problematic when training is technical in nature. Technology changes so quickly, organizations can’t afford not to train their technical talent if they want to remain innovative and…
