A seven-year-old coding whiz from St. Petersburg receives an early job offer as the head of corporate training.
In an incredible twist of fate, a seven-year-old coding prodigy from Saint Petersburg, Russia, has received a job offer from the local software company Pro32. Known for his engaging tutorials on software development, Sergey has built a reputation in the coding community since he began sharing his knowledge on YouTube at the tender age of five.
The talented child has amassed over 3,500 subscribers eager to learn programming languages such as Python and Unity, as well as delve into complex topics like neural networks. This impressive digital footprint paved the way for Pro32 to extend a written offer for him to join their management team as the head of corporate training, although he won’t be eligible to take on paid work until he reaches 14 years old due to Russian labor laws.
Pro32’s CEO, Igor Mandik, expressed his excitement about the potential of working with Sergey. He mentioned discussions with the young coder's parents to explore how they can collaborate during the interim years. Sergey’s father, Kirill, shared his delight in the opportunity and conveyed their eagerness for Sergey’s eventual participation in the company.
Mandik went further, commending Sergey not only for his impressive coding abilities but also for his exceptional talent in teaching. “He is kind of a Mozart,” he stated, confident that by the time Sergey reaches 14, he will be a leading figure in both development and teaching.
Although there is currently no discussion about salary, Mandik noted the importance of waiting to engage in that conversation until Sergey is of age, as compensation structures might evolve significantly over the next several years. As Pro32 looks forward to nurturing this young talent, the anticipation of seeing Sergey flourish in his future coding career continues to grow.
