Computer programmers will always be in high demand. It is a very rewarding career but requires dedication. You can work remotely or in the office and have a very flexible work schedule. Read on to know if this career is a good fit for you.

The world needs more computer programmers to meet the demand in software engineering, mobile development, game development, web development and many other specialized roles. All of these heavily rely on programming.

People with a bachelor's degree in computer science have an advantage in getting computer programming jobs. It will also help if you have a degree in a related field like maths. But, you do not need a degree to land a computer programming job; many successful self-taught computer programmers come from different backgrounds. If you work hard and practice, it is possible to get a computer programming job without a degree.

Anyone can learn how to code. For a career in coding, you can choose the traditional route - an engineering degree. With a couple of tech internships, landing a full-time job will be easy. You can also slowly get into computer programming from any career. All you have to do is learn online and keep practising. There are various free online programming courses available at Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation).

  • Web developer
  • Mobile app developer
  • Software engineer
  • Game developer
  • Task automation programmer
  • Database Engineer
  • Business intelligence analyst
  • Data analyst

A coder usually has the following responsibilities:

  • Debug existing software by writing and testing codes to resolve inconsistencies

  • Write and develop in-house software programmes that are fully functional to meet company goals

  • Develop software patches and fix bugs

  • Perform regular audits to identify any inefficiencies. Resolve them immediately

  • Solve problems with the teams and produce unique solutions

  • Regularly write and update technical documents for reference (both internal and external)

    On average, in India, a computer programmer earns INR 4,87,203. Coding is not a very stressful job but requires long hours in front of a computer. Depending on your employers, deadlines may be tight, and the lack of physical activity may feel draining. Sometimes programming requires lots of trial and error. Most tasks are challenging but rewarding too. If problem-solving is something you enjoy, you will most likely enjoy programming.
