SI Developer Story
#6. Necessary Specs for Getting a Job at an SI Company

If you want to get a job at a regular SI company, not one of the top 3 SI companies, you don't need a lot of specs.

Commonly prepared specs for employment such as English, certifications, and extracurricular activities are not very important. The most important thing in SI companies is whether you can actually use it, so if you have learned spring, mybatis, html, css, jquery, etc. from a training institute, you can get a job without any problems.

The only certification that is helpful is the Information Processing Engineer certification. When receiving developer personnel costs from clients, it varies depending on the level of junior, intermediate, and senior. One of the criteria for determining the level of these developers is the Information Processing Engineer certification. If you have graduated from a 4-year college, you can take the exam and obtain it regardless of your major, and it is said to be not difficult compared to other certifications.

Even if you become a freelancer in the future, the price you receive will be different depending on whether you are a junior or intermediate, so it is recommended that you obtain it after getting a job or when you are a junior developer.

Also, TOEIC, other certifications, and extracurricular activities don't really matter even if you write them on your resume. If you want to work for a large SI company, you need to prepare, but if you want to work for a small or medium-sized SI company, knowing how to code a bulletin board using spring and having an Information Processing Engineer certification is enough.

Instead of preparing other specs, let's code the bulletin board once more.
