{Disarmed} This is what a software engineer earns on average at Xiaomi China
From our perspective of users, it is fair to cry out and claim when something is not going well , when that last MIUI 13 update has left the mobile frozen or when a terminal does not comply with what was promised in terms of updates .
But now let's think for a moment, what about the people who bring about these changes? Programmatic in general and updates, configurations and debugging in particular are the responsibility of a technical group that, surprisingly, earns a much lower salary than we estimated.
The salary of a software engineer at Xiaomi
We do not discover anything new when we remember that a solid culture of commitment and effort coexists in China, where a corporate entity is nothing more than the very extension of the leader and, its workers, the members of the family who must ensure the well-being of said company. .
That is, when something fails, the feeling of guilt and failure is accused, because it tends to be interpreted as a personal failure .
MIUI has more than 500 million users and for pure statistical precision it is normal that there is a percentage of errors and general failures . In order to avoid these problems, the brand created the MIUI Pioneer Group , a department focused on avoiding these types of problems. Its board is made up of:
- Xiaomi's Product Manager (MIUI Experience General Manager). His figure will be in charge of measuring the final user experience and contrasting the performance of MIUI.
- Da Li : Its objective is to act as a bridge to communicate complaints and suggestions and promote their internal resolution.
- Zhang Guoquan : The Director of the Mobile System Software Department is in charge of system software development. Its objective is to look for optimizations in all the general performance regarding the hardware , the OS, the network problems, and so on.
- Qiao Zhongliang : The Software Development Manager will be in charge of communicating and solving all problems in the software section .
- Zhou Zhibin : Lastly, the Test Director will handle quality testing and supervise all control tests .
We do not know the salaries of these profiles, but we have obtained some perspective of several salaries disseminated by Glassdoor, one of the most popular employment portals on the planet focused on the recruitment of professional profiles.
According to the information released by three profiles, the salary of a Xiaomi China software engineer is set at an average of 30,600 euros gross per year at the exchange rate. A not opulent salary to which some bonuses should be added for objectives, but somewhat scarce to be a first-line employee in one of the leading technology companies in the global market , leader in a handful of markets .
Similar to Spain ? Not quite. If we pay attention to the latest information collected, the average in Spain is considerably higher, about 7,000 extra gross euros per year . A not insignificant amount.
So that we have some extra context: the cost of living between both countries does not have so many differences: although spending on food is up to 26% cheaper, the cost of housing —both rents and sales— and textiles reaches be up to 15% higher and, although transportation is considerably cheaper in China, with services and bonuses that are close to free throughout the country, tickets to the theater or dinner at a restaurant are more expensive than in China. most cities in Spain.
