Hi,

I'm trying to decide between two career paths and would appreciate input from people who have experience with both (or at least one of them 😊).

Path 1: Classic backend development (outsourcing)

\- Java

\- Spring/Spring Boot

\- REST APIs

\- SQL

\- Docker/Kubernetes

\- Typical backend engineering

Path 2: Enterprise/system integration (local system integration company, maybe 10-15 clients nationally)

\- IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE)

\- IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)

\- IBM MQ

\- Enterprise integration

\- APIs, message processing, workflows and middleware

\- Some Java alongside the IBM stack

.

My main questions are:

1. How different are the long-term career prospects between these two paths (comparing IBM being niche (not many options) vs backend AI related pressure)?

2. Is there a difference in salaries and benefits between those two career paths?

3. Which path has better job security?

4. Which one has better opportunities for remote work (or perhaps, how possible is it to get a remote position as a system integrator (inside (domestically) or outside of the country (internationally)))?

I have been overthinking this for too long (almost a week) so any recommendation, advice or experience would be helpful, thanks in advance

Zdravo,

Završavam četvrtu godinu na PMF (budžet) u Novom Sadu i prema svemu sudeći, ostaće mi jedan predmet nepoložen (7 ESPB).

Kako funkcioniše dobijanje doma tokom te godine i na šta bi još trebalo paziti?

Malo sam istraživao na internetu (da se plaća dodatno 5000, status budžeta ostaje isti...), ali da pitam za svaki slučaj 😁

Ćao,

Zanima me kako se otprilike kreću prve juniorske plate nakon prakse (u "standardnim" firmama, npr u Novom Sadu).

Koliko sam primetio, stalno se priča da se ta plata dogovora (tako što ti prvi zatražiš pa onda oni odgovore) ili se eventualno spomenu one visoke plate koje dobija eventualno 2% studenata (tipa mdcs, databricks i slične), ali ne i za one ostale, gde završi većina studenata.

Koliko bi mogle biti plate kod njih, bliže minimalcu ili se može dobiti i do 100k

Posebno što se tiče pohovane piletine
