Many college students and middle school classmates, when they first started working, the starting point may not be much different. Of course, some people are higher and some are lower. Some people may get an offer with a monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000, but some people can only earn 5,000 or 6,000. It is a big difference, but after working for a few years, you will find that the difference is not a big deal at all, because some people may have an annual salary of one million, and some may still be standing still and struggling at the bottom. At this time, looking at the salary gap when entering the workplace, it really doesn't matter.
Some people feel that it is not fair and their lives are not good. So whoever has worse grades than me when he just graduated, his salary was much lower than mine. How could he get the favor of his destiny? I was so unlucky. I went to the company. One is worse than the other, and the boss is worse than the other.
It is true that some people have better lives, but most of them are based on their own judgment and choice in the workplace.
I found that many young people who are new to the workplace, when looking for a job, many people are concerned about problems. What are the problems? They are overly concerned about the objective environment, location, salary, work intensity, and corporate characteristics, while ignoring the most important issues. The most important key point.
What is the most important key point, your own growth opportunity.
I’m not saying that you have to choose low-paying, poor-benefit, and high-intensity work. Frankly speaking, usually wages and benefits are directly proportional to growth opportunities. Companies with high wages can provide better growth opportunities, such as Tencent and Ali. It is very likely to provide better growth opportunities than an ordinary third-tier Internet company. But this is not entirely absolute. In the past few years, p2p financial salaries were very high, and for a while, the salary in the blockchain industry was also very high. Even earlier, some local bosses invested in the Internet to open up salary, similar to the current significantly unreliable company like Woyou. Various garbage items died. It pits many young people's career prospects.
Choose a position, choose a job, and give priority to your own growth opportunities. Of course, after joining the job, you must also put growth opportunities first, so that you have the opportunity to enter the fast lane in the workplace.
So what is the best growth opportunity. I say a few suggestions
1. To think clearly about your career plan and goals, you must at least know what you like to do and what kind of work you are willing to do.
I am not saying to encourage you to work overtime, but if you have to face overtime in the workplace, why not choose something you like to do.
An information security expert, when he was on vacation, had a flash of inspiration and thought of the possibility of a buffer overflow in a certain system. What would you say he would do? Forget it, go back to work and talk about it? People will definitely find a place to take out a computer to check it out as soon as possible to see if their ideas can be realized, for fear that they will be announced first by their peers. This sense of accomplishment is not brought about by the boss's salary, it is in the bones of others. Love and glory.
A person who loves product operations, when he goes out shopping with his wife, he will study the operation methods and product strategies of other people's stores.
A person obsessed with technical problems, he will test typical search or page turning problems when he visits Taobao and Weibo, and thinks about the technical means behind the giants. If you are a front-end architect, you will also look at the page source code and even track the requested header information to see what the other party's code has done to load tuning, and if there are any black technologies that you don't know.
If you are obsessed with something, you will grow very fast, because you don't mind if it is for work or who pays you.
No matter how good the prospects are for a job you don't like, you can't continue to study, you can only struggle at the bottom, waiting to be crushed by a new round of young people.
Many people will also say, I don’t like my current job, what I want to do, I tell the truth, offend people, many people don’t really want to do anything, but just want to find excuses to escape the current workplace dilemma.
2. Try to choose a place where great people get together to work.
NSFOCUS has not become a giant in the industry, but every giant on the Internet recognizes the resumes related to NSFOCUS R&D.
Some startup companies, such as a few in the AI field, do you think they will become industry giants in the future? To be honest, it’s not good to say, but if there are a bunch of big tech talents in the company, as a young person, I suggest you seriously consider related Many people ask what is the future of such a company, whether you can get such an offer, you are very important to people, and personal growth is very important.
Top talents tend to be top companies. Although there are many variables in the short term, the long-term probability is likely to be this way. Even if top talents do not enter top companies, their top value will probably not be buried.
Following a good teacher will greatly help your progress and development. Of course, you have to be willing to learn.
3. Try to save enough chips for the next job.
The boss is very demanding and the treatment is terrible. I’m not saying that you can’t change jobs and try to make your resume look better. So, even in a bad company, try to do some valuable projects, do some valuable work, and endure some Technical challenges, don't always feel that you have suffered.
You said that there is no Bole in the world, you have not worked hard and have done so, and even the best Bole can't see you.
4. Pay attention to the growth of the company.
It seems to contradict Article 2, but it’s actually a priority issue. I think it’s definitely important to follow the best people, but in many cases you can’t judge which company has more people, and your information and network cannot cover this. At this time, cutting-edge talents in the field can regard corporate growth as an important indicator.
A fast-growing company can provide more room for talents to grow. You may have to face many challenges and keep up with the pace of corporate development.
I've said before that everyone in the giants is powerful, to be honest, not necessarily, there are many screws, used to focus on a certain part, and the overall view is very poor. But those people who grew up with the giants really feel different. They know how to cut food and eat, minimize costs and do things when a company first starts up. They also know what the challenges of rapid growth are, and how big they are. How does the company continue to improve the management system? The comprehensive capabilities of this kind of people are much stronger than those who enter after the giants mature.
Of course, in recent years, there have been some companies that have grown rapidly and collapsed quickly, such as ofo, such as Fcoin. How to say it, the lesson is also a valuable experience. After experiencing similar incidents, as long as the individual's mentality does not collapse and the lessons learned are summarized, the future of the workplace will remain bright.
The growth of an enterprise can be observed by searching for relevant financing records, financial data and the speed of enterprise expansion. However, companies whose profits continue to deteriorate after rapid expansion are advised to face it with caution. In fact, I don't have a sharp eye on this matter. There are pros and cons.
The above four points are hoped that young people can fully realize when they make career choices and seize opportunities in the workplace.
Of course, different stages have different pursuits. As I said before, growth comes first, followed by industry status and influence, and then maximizing realizable benefits. It is normal for different age groups to have different priorities and considerations. If you have reached a higher stage in the field, you should be able to consider the next two steps.
In the end, I still want to say a few more words in order to prevent lifting the bar.
There is a popular word in the West, work life banlance, to maintain a balance between work and life. Many young people will also say, I don’t want to work hard.
To be honest, in fact, I am now in a state of balance between family and work. I have given up many better career opportunities. In order to make my life easier, you see, even myself is no exception.
But what I want to explain is that you can see, including observing your parents, elders and relatives, and you can see that countless families quarrel over trivial matters due to firewood, rice, oil and salt, and more than 95% of family disputes are related to property. Men suspect that women spend money to buy bags, women suspect that men secretly spend money to buy game consoles, disputes over disputes over the inheritance of the elderly, disputes over how much money to give to parents during the festival, and disputes over where to buy a house.
My parents often quarrel for a little bit of money. I said today that I can balance work and family because my wife and I don’t quarrel about financial trivial matters. Of course, frankly, I haven’t been able to fulfill all my wife’s dreams, but since getting married Since then, I have achieved at least three or four rounds of her dream goals, but I can’t stop her from achieving new goals and pursuits after each realization. But these are the icing on the cake. People’s desires always rise. There are always new goals, but this is not something that affects family relationships.
If you can’t do things in your life and don’t worry about trivial expenses, you don’t quarrel with your family over financial problems, you can’t have enough assets to face illness, pension and cope with various crises, what are you talking about family and career balance? What?
I have a reader on the planet who said that he is in his thirties, has a house and a car, has a lot of money in his bank account and has no loans, and lives with his wife and children in the second-tier cities with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, although there is a chance to get the annual salary of the first-tier giants. Millions of jobs, but I really don’t want to fight like that. This kind of person, do you think I will persuade him to work hard? I will only say that I am happy.
At the stage where you will not worry about financial trivial matters and potential crises in your life, and at the stage where your income ability can fully cover your desires and financial risks, you can be happy. Really, it is okay if you want to work hard, and you can live comfortably. problem.
