Recently, I saw some private messages from Lao Tie to Xiaolu about the front-end applications and plans to switch to the front-end. For this group of people, I can realize that they are more or less worried and confused.
The following is a private message from a reader who intends to find a job after resigning naked.
(Message from a reader)
In fact, after I joined the company, our company has been hiring front-end developers for several months. It can be said that hiring is even more difficult. So climb up today, stand from a small angle of your own, and analyze some of the conditions and thinking about the front end with everyone.
1、
Let’s first talk about the anxiety of the above-mentioned readers. This reader, like me, did the internship for a few months and then resigned naked. The reason for my naked remarks was simple. I didn’t feel the excitement of any development. It is understood that I have entered my comfort zone, so I chose to speak naked.
However, the above-mentioned readers resigned because they were confused, and I am a little confused. Shouldn't the confusion be about adjusting myself quickly? Choosing to avoid the problem, I think this is not an effective way. According to the thinking we have developed, we should find the problem and then solve the problem. The problem is caused by yourself or the company, and then make a more rational decision.
When it comes to my naked remarks, whether in life or preparing for war, there is not much worry and anxiety. There is pressure, but more are more optimistic. After the bare resignation, there is the support of sideline in life. By doing small programs, receiving outsourcing, submitting articles, writing official accounts, etc., one month's income can fully support oneself.
These are all preparations I made in advance. Otherwise, I would not dare to resign naked during the epidemic, and I have prepared for the worst. If I cannot find a job in a few months, I can at least solve the personal survival and housing problems. .
I remember sharing anti-fragility with you many times before. Personally, I am particularly sensitive to this. So in terms of building personal anti-fragility capabilities, it is relatively complete and satisfying, because no one knows what the "Black Swan" incident is. Time will come.

Speaking of finding a job after resigning naked, submitting a resume, and making an interview, for me, compared to now, it was really difficult for me. It was the epidemic again, and it was not in the peak recruitment season, and Beijing began to get serious again at that time. I submitted hundreds of resumes. Few people paid attention to me. I wrote an article at the time.
Xiaolu Haitou has hundreds of resumes, can you please take care of me?
You have to ask me if I panic. To be honest, I feel a little panic thinking about it now, but I think there is one thing I must tell myself. As long as you don't panic, I don't panic. Those who panic are those recruiting companies . You have to understand that during the special period, neither an individual nor a company has a hard time.
I believe that many people have reached this point. They are more mental and emotional problems. The more they think about it, the worse they are. Originally, there were only 10% bad emotions. In the end, they had 90% bad emotions. 10% of the people are dissatisfied, and the adjustment of their emotions still depends on their own. What Xiaolu can help can only help you analyze the reasons.

Speaking of front-end recruitment, we formally enter the topic. Many non-professional readers plan to switch to front-end, but they always have a trace of worry and anxiety. This part of the worry is mainly because they don’t know much about the Internet industry, so they often have various psychological problems. Burden and pressure.
One of the most asked questions is, is it too late to switch to front-end development? In fact, this question was also asked a few years ago. Up to now, the front-end is still so short of people and the front-end market is still so big. As for how big the front-end market is, I accidentally saw a particularly interesting example on the Internet in the past few years.
According to statistics, China produces more than 500 billion eggs per year. In China, one person eats more than 400 eggs per year. How many hens are needed in a year to achieve this output?
The best hens in a chicken farm lay only about 300 eggs a year, so to produce these eggs, about 2.3 billion chickens are needed a year.
Then the author of the article compares front-end engineers to hens and web pages to eggs. I deliberately went online to check that the number of global smartphone users will reach 3.5 billion in 2020, and Chinese users will account for more than a quarter. Using mobile phones means using various apps and various web pages. Hundreds of millions of people use mobile phones for several hours every day. You can imagine the number of web pages consumed by all netizens in the whole year.
4、
Having said that, the eggs are disposable, and the web page can be reused many times by multiple people, and the front-end engineers cannot meet the needs of the hen. But we usually see many online marketing activities, such as Double Eleven, and some promotional activities. These web pages are constantly being created and modified. Although these data are not particularly rigorous, it is still unimaginable in terms of order of magnitude if rounded.
Where did these pages come from? Isn't it written by the front-end development engineer? In addition, there are no teachers in universities. The teaching front-end technology of a complete system is basically dependent on self-study. This supply has become much smaller. In addition, the program will not be able to write code until a certain age, so a group of people are eliminated every year, so the demand for front-end development will not be considered hundreds of years later, but more than ten years later, it will still be in a state of scarcity.
If the above example is not reasonable enough, give your own example. In fact, after I worked, in the usual development version iterations, there were piles of requirements. I just finished a version before I had a chance to catch my breath. The requirements for the next version came again, because our company could not recruit too many suitable At present, only a few members of the team can fight together.
Sometimes the boss even said to me, Xiaolu, we are too short of people, start your community and recruit people. Some readers think that the technique is okay, but they are often afraid to interview, and some say that they are not ready and dare not waste this opportunity. I...
Speaking of this, you said that it is too late to switch to the front end. I guess you understand this answer in your heart.

And found a very fatal problem, regardless of the front-end market demand is so large, but often through self-study to meet the requirements of the enterprise is rare.
Let's not talk about the requirements of some major manufacturers, but follow the requirements and standards of general Internet companies. The basic and experience requirements for applicants are particularly strict. Interns have no experience. Generally, basic problems are the most investigated.
Generally, during the entire self-study process, we rarely think and learn from the end as the beginning. The so-called beginning with the end is to clarify the requirements and standards of the enterprise first, and then learn according to this standard. In this way, the front-end learning has become very clear.
If the front-end has been working for several years, every time a project or version is completed, it is necessary to review and summarize, otherwise, after completing a version, there are many versions to do, without feedback, just like a machine, constantly receiving Command, and then execute the command. Even with ten years of work experience, compared with others, it is only one year of experience.
So, if you switch to programming, it’s not from your heart’s love and interest, you don’t really have a long time in this business, and what you face every day is sitting at the computer and typing boring codes. So before changing careers, I warn you that you must be cautious.
At last
To sum up today's content, if you want to switch to the front end, although it seems that the threshold is low and the market is large, if you really don't work hard, it will be difficult to find a suitable company. In addition, you must be in love and interest in changing careers, otherwise you can only be a ruthless code machine, and you may be eliminated after two years of writing.
For those who are applying for and interviewing, especially students, don’t panic and remember one sentence. You don't panic, I don't panic, the one who panic is the recruitment company .
Old irons, is my conclusion okay? Are you sure you won't come to Bosanlian?
