By nature, I am an economist (by first education), then, with the advent of the Internet in my life, I began to love the Internet and how everything works there, learning some technologies and languages. I am very glad that I did not leave one without the other.
As a result, having worked at a large industrial enterprise for more than 20 years, I fully understood the system of financial and economic processes in it, and began to understand how important this experience and understanding of these processes are today, especially when you can still transform it through code and produce a product that optimizes it, namely, it can change on the positive side, the amount of revenue (to increase) or the costs of the company (to reduce), i.e. to ensure an increase in profits for it.
It is not so valuable to know the code - to be a pure programming bee, especially given the active introduction of AI into life, as it is important to understand the nature of the business itself, its financial and economic interior and its processes. From how raw materials are purchased (procedure, contract, acceptance certificate, write-off into production, delivery of products to a warehouse, unfinished), to the moment of its shipment to the consumer (sale, creditors, debtors, receipt of money, etc., etc.). Similarly for investment activities (from how the purchase procedure is announced, before the facility is put into operation). Before the formation of the boom. report and management decision-making.
Those who understand the business process - mostly company owners - are looking for someone who can optimize it (programmers), and programmers are looking for an uncle who will pay them money for what they do, what he tells them, without really delving into the essence of what his task is. ultimately, it must solve for the business. And sometimes the uncle himself does not understand what he needs)
As a result, this is the current situation on the market.
As I noted earlier, during the excess of cash liquidity, the employer did not experience any special problems and did not pay much attention to saving on this, and the topic was hype - IT (how is it in a company without IT?). But as the economic process gets tougher (high interest rates), the cost of working capital increases, investments increase in price (interest on long-term loans), and therefore the costs of its final product too (because everything is transferred to its value).
In this scenario, business owners are beginning to pay closer attention to the result of their activities - not to what great guys they have working for them, but to what extent the employees themselves are imbued with an understanding of this business problem and how they can solve it using the tools they own, which will ultimately have a positive impact on profitability. the company itself.
