On Saturday, Song Ge had a meal with a few friends and practiced it for a friend who was about to leave Shenzhen and return to Changsha. In the past two years, several friends around me have returned to their hometown to develop, some went to Wuhan, some went to Dalian, some went to Changsha, some went back to Xi'an, and one returned to Xi'an for a year in 2021 and will come to Shenzhen in 2022. Yes, hey, this is life. I moved bricks in Shenzhen. I am envious from the bottom of my heart for the little friends who have returned to their hometown for development, but if you ask me if I will return, I will not. If I go back, 99% may regret it, my hometown, out of reach, may be the most beautiful.
The city of Shenzhen is good everywhere: the air is good, it is full of vitality, and it is not exclusive, but the housing price is a bit high, which is ridiculously high. The pig’s feet rice that Shen Piao’s friends couldn’t eat, and the rent that couldn’t be paid, the Hanjing Center next to Tencent I Love SZ(ShenZhen)was abruptly translated 我爱收租and later picked up (the reason is unknown).
Xiao Tang, who practiced on Saturday, graduated from college in 2017. When he was studying, he wanted to learn computer science, but he couldn’t defeat the elders in his family, so he finally chose civil engineering, which also paved the way for his later career change.
Different from the big men who can’t run away, Xiao Tang has been working in civil engineering for almost two years, and his salary has risen from 1800 to 3500. Every day, he carries the instrument everywhere for surveying and mapping. It is said to be 007 when he is alive. If not, run away. After running away, Xiaotang worked in sales for a period of time because he was more active and cheerful. He also sold apartments and stock consulting software for a period of time. During this period, he was exposed to software, and he also let some people through simple codes. Automating work, the process is very fulfilling. After thinking about it, Xiaotang should change careers! Engage in Java! So join the mighty Java team.
The first year of changing careers is still relatively difficult. Although the threshold for coding has been falling, there are still thresholds. Especially in the first year, due to the weak foundation and lack of development experience, the same work often has to be paid by oneself. After more time, Xiaotang told me that his experience is that he encounters problems - analyzes the causes of the problems - dismantles the problems - breaks them down. Solve problems by yourself as much as possible, set a deadline for yourself, ask others for advice after the deadline, think fully before asking others, and it will be effective after a little bit.
This technique is a bit like when I taught Java by myself in college. I was not asked at that time. Sometimes I pondered a question myself for several days, and then suddenly realized it at a certain moment. In this way, although the learning is slow (there is enough time in college), but the learning is prison, and once you know it, you will really know it and understand it thoroughly.
In this way, Xiaotang has survived the first year. In fact, not to mention a year, if you can persist in typing code for half a year in a company, I think you are in the industry.
Xiaotang changed her job later. Her current job is for the education industry, but it is not an off-campus training, but a project in cooperation with the education authorities. Therefore, the double reduction for primary and secondary schools in July 2021 will actually affect them. It's a good thing, Xiaotang is not only coding and researching in this company, but also participating in requirements design and project architecture design. Many architectural suggestions have been adopted, and many framework optimizations have been made. The work is no longer a simple interface boy. So when Xiaotang asked to leave and said he wanted to go back to Changsha, the company offered 24k to keep him, but he had already decided to go back to Changsha, and he couldn't keep 24k, Xiaotang said.
The work of typing codes in Shenzhen is still quite smooth, but Xiao Tang feels that he is ordinary, with no superior IQ, and no strong background. He only has a little sweat, but this sweat is not enough to resist future risks. I was a little moved when I heard him say this. Although Xiao Tang's education is not high, he is really smart, optimistic and cheerful. Every time you think of him, you can only think of his smiling face, and you can't think of other expressions. stand up. In Shenzhen, most of the time was occupied by work. Xiaotang also wanted to balance work and life as much as possible, so he decided to return to Changsha.
Back in Changsha, Xiaotang went to two schools online. According to him, the interview is not difficult (of course, this depends on the technical level of the person involved), but the salary will indeed be discounted. The specific discount depends on your own ability. Xiaotang got the offer from a leading company in the industry. There is an entire office building in Changsha Lugu. This company was promoted by a friend of a friend. After five rounds of interviews, he won the offer. The salary base is a little bit discounted (just a few hundred dollars lower than now), and the total package has increased by about 30% compared to now, so it is a very gorgeous return home.
After the Chinese New Year, Xiaotang will go back to work in Changsha. I no longer have to eat Shenzhen’s pig’s feet rice, and I don’t have to grab a ticket to return to my hometown during the festival. To be honest, I am a little envious.
Finally, Xiaotang's message to everyone (original words):
For those who have just changed careers without an academic background, it is very important to keep learning, diligently can make up for their shortcomings, and highlight their own highlights. Make a good plan, do what you are good at, summarize more, reflect more, and think more.
Because everyone in several groups of Songge has talked about the topic of returning to his hometown. It just happened that Songge had such a thing. I will share it with you today. We will discuss more in the group, and Xiaotang is also in the group.
