Hello, everyone. Some time ago, I wrote an article about the method for programmers to get an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, which aroused some sympathy, and some readers asked me about it in private. Isn't the competition among big companies fierce now? Besides, the salary of major companies is no better than that of some second-tier companies. In that case, why do we have to squeeze our heads into major companies?
Today I will chat with you a few words, what follows only represents my personal opinion. If there are different opinions, just laugh it off.
Golden sign
In the past few years, when Ali was recruiting at school, he always played the banner of Ali University. Comparing the company of Ali to a school, we didn't go in to make money or to work, but to study and further study on another level. Therefore, many resigned friends on the intranet did not say that they were resigning, but that they were graduates.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that apart from the purpose and means of corporate publicity, there really is so much truth. Every year, a large number of engineers leave BAT and enter large and small companies in all walks of life to continue to shine. To some extent, the large number of talents needed for the development of the Internet industry are provided by these large companies. When you are going for an interview, when you are looking for a job, if you have BAT work experience in your resume, it is like a diploma from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Not to mention 100% of the interview passed, but at least it can give you a chance to get an interview. Don't fall into the resume level.
When I applied for the on-the-job master's degree at the National University of Singapore this year, I was always hesitating. Because I have thought about it and thought that for my resume, there is not much difference between the diploma and the absence. If I change jobs in the future, I will definitely not be able to get the job interview by relying on a diploma. In that case, why bother? Although I finally decided to continue to apply, I also knew in my heart that I did this only to learn something, not really expecting it to give me much help in career development.
Many anxious salespeople have been promoting the 35-year-old elimination theory, but the few 35+ programmers from large companies I know have not been eliminated, and they still mix well.
Clearance map
Many people are very repulsive of big companies, and one thing they often say is that big companies screw screws.
Indeed, because of the very clear division of labor and perfect tools in large factories, most jobs have no technical content. Just continue to do it according to a standard, and there will be no surprises and no changes. I have personally experienced it. I have done data for two years in Alibaba for two years. Today, user data A, tomorrow user data B, and sometimes it is reduced to reporting like BI. We also often complain, where we are algorithm engineers, we are clearly SQL engineers.
I always felt that in the past two years, I should have learned nothing. All the skills were taught by myself in my spare time. I also regretted it for a while. I felt that I had chosen the wrong one and I shouldn't go to Ali. But not long after I came to Singapore, I completely overturned this view, because I discovered that I didn't learn anything. It was a bit like an iceberg theory. All I saw was a point on the surface of the water, most of which were hidden under water.
What do you mean, let me give you an example with screws. For example, if you work as a screwdriver in a large company that builds aircraft carriers, you will screw this screw today and that screw tomorrow. One day you can't bear to leave your job and go to a small shipyard. As soon as you go in, you find that the roof of the small shipyard is too low. It's okay to build small boats, but it won't be enough if you want to build a big ship one day. After two days, you find that the wrench that is screwing the screw is wrong, and the durability is very poor, and you can only screw a certain type of screw. After another two days, you find that the design of the built ship is also problematic, and it is not streamlined...
Before you came to the small shipyard, you thought you had only screwed the screws for two years and learned nothing. In fact, you have already seen the customs clearance map. Sometimes I still regret it, but what I regret is no longer the original choice, but regret that when I had the opportunity, I did not look at the customs clearance map carefully, which resulted in a lot of omissions.
Gathering of big guys and rich information
I met a very, very senior senior in Ali. He has been in Ali for more than ten years, but for various reasons, his level is not very high. I asked him at the time, since you are so dissatisfied with the status quo, why don't you want to leave to find better opportunities?
He pondered for a moment and told me, he said that although I am here now is not going well, but the people I have come into contact with are very good. I have a problem, and I can discuss it with you. If I go out, if I encounter problems again, there may not even be a single person to discuss.
I just thought it made sense when I heard it at the time, but when I think about it, I feel very deeply. Three perspectives, structure, and ability. Those who can enter a large company are generally not too bad in these three aspects. Apart from other things, as far as personal ability is concerned, I have met many colleagues from various overseas prestigious schools after I went abroad. Compared with my colleagues in Ali, it is nothing more than that. I don't know if it is my prejudice, but as far as I can feel, the pattern of foreign engineers is relatively small.
In addition to excellent colleagues, large companies often have a wealth of internal documents and materials. At that time, I saw many excellent articles in Ali, and there were also many excellent technical salons and sharing. Now that I think about it in the past two years, I haven't been there a few times, and I haven't read a lot of articles and materials. It's a pity to think about it now. In addition, as far as the recommended field is concerned, papers with good quality in recent years have often come from large companies, especially large domestic companies, mainly from Ali, Huawei and Toutiao. In addition to public papers, there are many technical-related materials and documents inside the company. These are really valuable and very precious.

It is said that big companies are a besieged city, those outside the city want to go in, and those inside the city want to come out. Although many people have come out of the city, it does not mean that the city is not good. I think it is necessary to take a look if there is a chance.
I thought of a short story about this. It was said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Huan Wen attacked Cheng Han and met a small official who had served Zhuge Liang. He was over a hundred years old at this time. Huan Wen asked him: Is there anyone who governs Shu than Zhuge Liang today? The clerk calmly replied: "When Ge Gong was there, he didn't notice any difference. Since his death, there is no comparison." It means that Kong Ming didn't feel anything abnormal at the time, but after Kong Ming passed away, he found out that there was no one. Can be compared with him.
I think many big companies are the same. We didn't feel different when we were in them, but only after we left did we realize that they were not comparable.
