I believe this is a problem that many IT programmers will encounter after entering the workplace. In fact, the answer is very simple:
Because the IT circle has a "workplace contempt chain" similar to Pandora's box !
As shown:
In Hui Zhimei's view, this so-called IT programmers contempt chain may be insignificant to programmers with a strong heart, but to the fragile new career in the workplace, it is like a bolt from the blue and will make them desperate.
01. There is no harm without comparison
Different types of jobs, different levels of salary and benefits will be different, this may be prepared in the minds of IT programmers. But even so, the body is still very honest-when you hear other people's salary of tens of thousands of dollars, you will inevitably take a seat.
Yes, people are like this. Once they have a reference, they can't help but compare themselves, and then they feel all kinds of "envious, jealous, and hatred." (Inner os: I am not worse than you. Why do I get such a salary? I don't know what the leadership thinks? Is this job really suitable for me? Is this salary worthy of my contribution...)
Then I get deeper and deeper, unable to extricate myself, the daily work is affected little, and the worst outcome is to change jobs and leave.
Of course, everything has a good side. If you find that your salary level is relatively high after comparison, you will definitely be happy! It is not even ruled out that some deliberately show off "Versailles", with unpredictable provocations, attacking newcomers in the workplace or squeezing out competitors. (Good or bad, good or bad...)
02. There is no impermeable wall in the workplace
So, is it really safe to be a well-behaved IT programmer in the workplace?
Not really. After all, everyone knows all those things in the workplace. The so-called "Whoever doesn't talk behind others, nobody talks behind them".
●Pharaoh from the R&D department next door is from a relative of the boss;
●The opposite UI designer relies on improper means to take the lead;
●The engineer behind him, Xiao Li, got a high-paying offer by luck.
……
Feeling deeply, right? What's more worrying is that even if you know some things, it won't help. This is the actual situation of hitting workers in reality.
Those programmers who hold the mentality of "As long as I work hard, I will be promoted and raise salary sooner or later" are not wrong, maybe your ingenuity has not been discovered by the leader yet, maybe you just lack a chance to prove yourself... these are no problems , As long as you focus on the improvement of personal skills, there will indeed be a day of highlight performance.
Note: The workplace promotion mechanism of each company is based on scientific and reasonable pathway logic . It is relatively fair and open to pass various KPIs and performance assessments, and submit applications and accept assessments within the specified number of years.
But there is a big premise here, that is, you will not change your job easily!
In reality, we often see that many people in the workplace choose to leave out of impulse or resentment. As everyone knows, such consequences will only hurt both sides:
●First, you give up the position you have worked for a long time (including the 3-month trial period), jump to a new work environment and continue to cycle the same career experience.
●Secondly, the company spends a lot of time and energy to train employees, because the salary and heart are not firm enough to cause the loss of employees, and then recruit new people to start again.
03. Some experience, advice and suggestions
In fact, in the IT workplace, you will always encounter all kinds of uncomfortable things, and salary is only one aspect. Before Huizhimei used software test engineers as an example, she summarized 7 major influencing factors around the salary level of people in the workplace. "Original link"
From the first-line grassroots career to the new generation, all the way to fight monsters and upgrades, continue to improve their ranks, until the promotion and salary increase climb to the highest level. The whole process of promotion is also a process of continuous self-experience, and the required comprehensive ability matching is also worthy of serious study by IT programmers.
You will eventually find that salary return is actually a matter of course, and you must not turn the cart before the horse, and cause and effect to be reversed, and you will lose your way in the face of vested interests.
As for the rumors in the workplace, just listen to it. The so-called "rumors stop at the wise", why add too many unnecessary knots to yourself?
If someone discusses the topic of salary with you next time, regardless of whether they are hit or not, remember: if you are good, you will be humble and low-key, and if you are bad, you will keep working hard .
This is also one of the skills that programmers need to continuously experience and grow in the IT workplace-the forbearance in the face of temporary injustice, the low-key when reaping success, and the more comprehensive ability improvement of keeping a low profile.
Let me ask: How will you face and deal with a lot of unsatisfactory work-related incidents?
If you re-divide the above seven factors influencing salary levels according to "controllable vs. uncontrollable", you will find that each element seems to have a subtle logic that can be changed, and the key to this change lies in: personal initiative .
The status quo of most IT programmers is that they have no background in the workplace, no network resources, and struggles with uncontrollable factors in the workplace.
Therefore, what we can do is to seize the controllable factors and realize the improvement of our own competitive ability in the workplace. When the east wind arrives, we can seize the opportunity and realize the gorgeous transformation.
God rewards hard work, the objective laws of social development will not change with someone’s subjective consciousness, and the demand for talents in an industry will not turn the cart before the horse for some reason.
◆If those people with higher salary than you really have real talents, then the 7 factors are undoubtedly the icing on the cake for him. From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the company and the industry;
◆On the other hand, if he is a dude, trying to make up for his own lack of strength with the help of fluke, the so-called "Road knows horsepower for a long time to see people's hearts", such Mr. Dong Guo will naturally not last long. And if such a person has a company that is willing to pay a high salary to hire, that company will not be far from closing down if you want to come to that company?
Therefore, the most important thing is to get right and recognize your own position. A temporary salary level will not determine anything. The real initiative will only be in your hands. Don’t let those uncontrollable factors affect your self-confidence, because self-confidence is your only source and driving force for miracles in the future~
Come on, IT programmer!
