I'm sorry, but I have to repeat that enduring topic. Choice is more important than hard work.
Then I will directly conclude that efforts are to master the right to choose, and choices are to live up to their own efforts.
You work hard, only some choose the right one. You can only say that you choose Tsinghua University or Peking University if you have good grades. Do you choose AI or software engineering? You find it difficult to choose. Those who don't work hard have time to save trouble, and they have no choice.
It's like many people ask me, why did you study thermophysics back then? I, do I have a choice.
Of course, the choice is also very important. If you choose the wrong one, you may really waste too much time, energy and effort, and you will get nothing in the end. A few years ago, a young man asked me about my career choices. When the mobile Internet was just emerging, he took two offers. There was a Japanese game company that was the most popular and was recruiting in China. The other is Ali. At that time, Ali had not yet been listed for the second time. I think it is difficult for Japanese companies to make achievements in China. I suggest that he choose Ali. He listened to my advice, so a few years later, the Japanese company withdrew from China and Ali went public in the United States.
Think about it, even if he is very good, if he chooses the wrong first step in the workplace, of course, he may still seize other opportunities in the future, but at least, he has missed an opportunity to see the first pot of gold.
I'm very lucky. Seriously, I think I'm quite lucky to keep up with the fast lane of the Internet. However, actively choosing the Internet was the most correct decision when I was young. When I graduated, the Internet industry was so weak that it was not the first choice for young people.
So now many people think that the Internet has a promising future, and many young people are flooding in. But here is also faced with more complicated and changeable choices. Some people follow the right company to get rich quickly, some people follow the wrong company, and finally get busy No gain for a year. A rumored case I heard before was that a Huawei’s technology leader was hired by a p2p wealth management company with high salary + equity to be the technical leader. After two years of hard work, the company stepped on thunder and liquidated, and the equity was nothing but the previous salary income. Being treated as illegal income needs to be paid in full, it really feels like returning to the pre-liberation overnight.
Therefore, now that young people choose a workplace, they really have to take into account growth and safety.
You have to tell me which startup is the giant of the future. Frankly speaking, I can't see it anymore. Internet Baixiaosheng is a thing of the past, and entrepreneurial risks and thresholds are high. If you can grasp this opportunity, I congratulate you. But under normal circumstances, I dare not persuade young people to start a company in recent years.
Elaborate.
First look at the management style of the company
Good managers and good corporate values can give employees enough room for growth. Those who have such good standards have different opinions, but at least they must be pragmatic, respect data and facts, and allow reasonable discussions and doubts. Many giant companies are still pragmatic in the early stage, allowing employees to question managers and openly discussing some topics about the value of the company. But once it grows into a giant, formalism and bureaucracy begin. Of course, there are also some start-up companies that experience management chaos from the very beginning. They don't have the life of a big company, but they suffer from the disease of a big company.
Second look at the level of talent accumulation in the company
If young people don’t know what company is right for them, it’s definitely right to choose the place where the best people gather. It's like the NSFOCUS that I worked for in the early years. It is very typical, and I have mentioned it many times in the old article.
The third look at the market area and status of the company
Is the market ceiling high enough, whether the enterprise competitiveness is strong enough, whether the enterprise's resilience, and the team's combat capability are sufficient to meet future challenges?
In many cases, companies that rely on resources and relationship backgrounds can have a good market share and business performance in the short term, but in the long run, they lack market competitiveness.
Frankly speaking, I can’t say that I’m blatantly eye-catching, and my judgment is 100% accurate, but when the market is hot, you don’t just look at the company’s current market position, you must look at the team’s combat effectiveness and resilience.
Fourth, it depends on how well the development direction of the company is in line with policies and the general trend
The so-called follow the trend, no matter how smart people, no matter how strong the team, must not go against the general trend, and not against the trend of industrial upgrading. Of course, if you insist on saying that, traditional craftsmen can also eat, but in terms of economic scale, it is no longer representative.
So, this year, as far as fresh graduates are concerned, Meituan can be considered very recommended.
Why do you say that.
First: the management team is reliable
Wang Xing and his team experienced several setbacks in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Compared with those entrepreneurs who have been in a good weather, the team that has been constantly tempered is more sober and more cautious about risks. During the Hundred Regiment Battle, Wang Xing was not the one with the most money, the loudest voice, or the thickest thigh, but it was not accidental that he became the only winner in the group-buying melee. The management team was pragmatic, efficient, and vigorous in combat. At that time, they all overpowered their peers.
So in recent years, I have several old colleagues and friends who have gone to Meituan to hold middle and senior management positions. They are all very reliable. I am a very recognized person. I have mentioned several relevant cases in my old article. .
The ability to gather these talents together by group and group together is also the characteristic of the entrepreneurial team.
Regarding Wang Xing, frankly speaking, he doesn’t have much dealings, but he understands from the side that he not only has the ideal of changing the world, but is also very pragmatic and low-key. He has maintained his original aspirations and combat effectiveness for many years. Wang Xing has always emphasized that the long-term value of the company is important, and there is no need to pay attention to short-term stock price fluctuations. In addition, the company pursues a culture of equality, whether it is the company's work station settings or travel arrangements, executives and ordinary employees are treated equally. Among Internet giants, this is still rare.
Following the right boss is a very, very crucial step for young people to enter the workplace and to grow and finalize.
Second: Large market space, leading market position
All developed countries, the tertiary industry, or the service industry are the main focus of GDP, and Meituan is precisely in the leading position of the digital and networked service industry. China is still in the growth stage from a developing country to a developed country, and there is still huge room for improvement in the overall scale of the tertiary industry.
From takeaway catering, to tourist hotels, to movie ticketing, to travel services, and even education and training, Meituan can be seen everywhere, and it ranks first in many fields. Digital empowerment for traditional service industries is also a general trend in itself, a direction advocated by the government.
In fact, Meituan did not open up so many battlefields at the beginning, but every time Meituan enters a new field and enters a new battlefield, it can quickly occupy a place and even become a new hegemon. This is also the corporate management capability and operational efficiency. The embodiment.
In fact, some giants, although they still maintain a huge size and market position, each time they enter a new market, they seem to be unable to do so. Such a giant has lost the ability to innovate and develop, and it is not necessarily a good choice for young people.
Third: Broad space for play and sufficient sustainability
Frankly speaking, I don’t think that every strategic decision and business development of Meituan is right. I have also complained about some issues with their executives face to face, but it must be admitted that the self-correction ability of Meituan’s management team is still Healthy, no one can be 100% correct, but being able to recognize the problem and iterate quickly is still the key to victory.
As mentioned earlier, the service industry is actually very broad, and Meituan has many tentacles. There are different talents in many fields to lead the team to forge ahead. For young people, there is enough room for choice, according to their personal interests and wishes. Play.
Moreover, in terms of policies and the current overall environment, the continuous increase of domestic demand and the expansion of national internal consumption are very important political issues, as well as an inevitable choice to deal with the current external environment of the world. Meituan is on the positive side of its policy.
For young people entering the workplace, the improvement of personal value is the most important thing. The so-called improvement of personal value includes the improvement of industry and industry awareness, including the improvement of skills, and the improvement of resume-level packaging.
I have seen young people in Knowledge Planet envy those who can quickly enter a stable environment, and feel that their work is easy and they are well paid. I can't say that this choice is wrong, but when we graduated that year, there were some so-called enviable entry positions, but these years have passed, and if you are honest, you will think that the so-called enviable ones at the time are actually ridiculous. What is really meaningful is the embodiment of your continuous growth and ultimate value. If you cannot grow, your value cannot be improved. The so-called good job is meaningless, but if you grow and your value increases, then choosing a platform that can reflect your value is also very important.
The world is indeed not fair, but the window to upwards has always been there. Because many people do not believe it, only a few have grasped the opportunity.
If you work hard enough, have a good background and qualifications, but still face a career choice, maybe Meituan deserves your serious attention.
Recently, Meituan’s 2021 Fall Recruitment has started, 17 cities, 2000+ positions, involving five types of technology, products, design, operations, and functions. Online applications can be entered by scanning the code.
