In brief
In a remarkable turn of events, a seven-year-old from St. Petersburg has caught the attention of a Russian IT firm, which has extended a job offer for him to become head of corporate training upon reaching employment age. Sergey has achieved fame online through instructional coding videos since he was five years old. His YouTube channel boasts over 3,500 subscribers eager to grasp programming languages like Python and Unity while also exploring concepts related to neural networks.
The software company Pro32 has officially invited Sergey to join their management team under Russian law, which currently prohibits paid employment until the age of 14. However, the company’s CEO, Igor Mandik, is already in discussions with Sergey's parents for potential collaborations, expressing his excitement for the young talent's future contributions. Mandik praised Sergey’s not only programming skills but also his unique teaching ability, likening him to Mozart in the coding world. The firm envisions that even employees in various other roles could benefit from the knowledge that Sergey will impart when he is finally able to join the team. While discussions about salary will be put on hold until then, the tech world is already buzzing with anticipation for what this young prodigy will accomplish.
