Hello everyone, I am Lao Yang.
It’s been a long time since I talked with you about the big players in the industry. Think about it, the last analysis was last year.
Because there are more and more working hours, and less and less time for writing articles, after discussing with my friends in the editorial department, I specially opened a column to chat with you about big factories. If you are interested, you can sit down every Wednesday. push.
Many fans were interested in the content of the previous issue. You can see: " Dachang Intelligence | How high are the requirements if you want to join Huawei as an Internet worker?" "
Today I will talk to you about the industry as a whole, and discuss what other good companies are worth paying attention to by network engineers these days.
Today's article reading benefits: "2023 Network Engineer Essential Information Pack"
For many network workers, what is lacking is systematic technical learning. Lao Yang's 60G network engineer entry package is very suitable for you who want to learn about network engineering.
Private message me , note the keyword "data package" , and the top 30 friends who private message can get it.
01 These days, what other good companies deserve attention?
When it comes to the standards of a good company, it can really be said that there are thousands of people and thousands of people.
Some people care about the welfare system, some people care about the salary cap, some people think that good colleagues are good companies... and so on, there are many standards.
But now, there is a paradigm for judging a good company:
Good business conditions + high employee praise + perfect welfare system = good company
To understand these three aspects, in addition to asking during interviews and hr talks, you can also do this.
First, go directly to the Tianyancha/Qchacha platform to search for the company's overall situation.
Here you can see the company's overall operating conditions, such as registered capital, litigation over the years, etc., to help you avoid risks.
If the company is not formal, does not meet the standards, and messes around, there will be traces of litigation to some extent. This cannot be concealed, and these will also become factors for your consideration.
Second, go to platforms such as Maimai and third parties to understand the company's external evaluation.
The first dimension is to understand the company's operating risks, and the second is to help you understand the company's industry reputation.
Although Maimai is created by many users spontaneously, the content needs to be refined, but it does have reference significance.
You can know a lot of news here that only internal employees know, such as the authenticity of internal benefits, the stability of the company's top management, employee experience, year-end bonus distribution, etc. The details you want will be more or less here be discussed.
Of course, the bigger the company, the more discussions there are.
In addition, there are some third-party platforms that you should also pay attention to. For example, the ICT industry company rankings published every year are an endorsement and proof of high-quality companies.
In 2022, in the ICT industry, the most influential TOP10 companies are:
Fiberhome Communication Technology Co., Ltd.
YOFC Optical Fiber and Cable Co., Ltd.
China Mobile Migu
Unicom Online Information Technology Co., Ltd.
Tianyi Cloud Technology Co., Ltd.
OPPO Guangdong Mobile Communication Co., Ltd.
UNISOC (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd.
HKUST Xunfei Co., Ltd.
Huahai Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd.
Shenzhen First Line Communication Co., Ltd.
In 2022, in the ICT industry, the top 10 companies with comprehensive strength are:
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd
ZTE Corporation
China Xinke Group
Intel (China) Co., Ltd.
Qualcomm
New H3C Group
Shanghai Nokia Bell Co., Ltd.
Ericsson (China) Communications Co., Ltd.
Xiaomi Group
Tongding Group
As for the TOP100 on the list, I will tell you in this picture:
On the whole, you think the company you want to go to is somewhat reliable, and you can weigh it yourself.
02 What should you do if you want to enter these companies?
After talking about the basic standards of a good company, I also presented the list of TOP100 companies in the ICT industry. Then, after all, how do you choose, and how do you judge the right time to change jobs and join the job?
In fact, people who are confused about this type of problem are mostly people who still can't sort out their thoughts. So if you want to solve this problem, I will give you the eight-character mantra: "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."
01 Want to be a "confidant", how to break it?
The founder and CEO of Maimai divided the work into four quadrants from the two dimensions of the length of the closed-loop cycle and the quantification of the level in the course "AI Rise, Workplace Change and Human Adaptation" in Chaos Academy.
The closed-loop cycle refers to whether your actions, decisions, and judgments are related to what you did a month ago or a year ago?
For example, some low-level code farmers, today's work is only to deal with this matter independently, and there is not much iteration and improvement, which means that the closed-loop cycle is short.
The cycle of big projects is much longer. As a management, the judgments and decisions made a year ago still have a huge impact on the present. He needs to keep reviewing. What actions have affected the present and how to affect the future is a closed loop. The cycle is long.
The judgment of excellence refers to being better than 90% of people in a certain aspect.
Criticism and innovation are the key nodes for humans to be superior to machines. It is difficult for machines to make such judgments and decisions, and it will only give answers from the perspective of probability.
Which quadrant are you currently in?
Which quadrant are you going to pursue?
This is the question you can start to think about now, find your own position, and then separate from the high substitutability, slowly improve, and your value will appear faster.
In the past, we always pursued T-shaped talents, but this year, the type of talents has changed, and the ability model has changed from T-shaped, to π-shaped, to snowflake-shaped.
We used to talk about good talents, called T-shaped talents, that is, professionals, talents who are best in a certain field. Now it has become a π-type, for example, you are a pre-sales person, but you'd better be technical.
In the future, the ability requirements for talents may be extended to a snowflake type, that is, they must have an understanding and research in various fields, and then use AI to complete execution actions.
As for how to improve yourself, I have said a lot in previous articles. Welcome to follow this account, read old articles, and always read new ones.
02 If you want to "know the enemy", look here
The "he" here can be understood as the enterprise or large factory that we want to join. We still have to look back at this table:
Let's analyze the top ten companies in the ICT industry in 2022.
You can look at the big picture, from 1 to 10, in fact, all of them are manufacturers.
The manufacturer is mainly a company that develops and produces equipment, and most of them are composed of R&D + pre-sales/sales (marketing department) + technical service department. Compared with Party B, the social status of the manufacturer is a little higher.
Some manufacturers will provide Party B services, such as Shenzhen Digital, ZTE, and Inspur.
Although most of the top ten are manufacturers, if I buy the Alibaba Cloud business ranked No. 7, then my company is Party A and it becomes Party B.
In order to let Xiaobai understand better, Lao Yang went to some recruitment platforms to search for some job requirements to help you understand the difference between Party A, Party B, and the manufacturer.
To sum up, Party A's requirements for talents are: it likes to recruit more experienced network engineers, and has requirements for academic qualifications. But technological growth is relatively limited.
Advantages of Party A's position:
The job is relatively stable, and the salary and benefits are generally good, especially in the financial industry.
Disadvantages of Party A's position:
The threshold is very high, and I like to recruit network workers with many years of experience + high education (985/211 undergraduate degree or higher), so the corresponding technical improvement will be relatively slow.
If you are an Internet worker who has accumulated many years of project experience and expect higher salary + stable and decent job, then it is very good to choose Party A.
Next, let's take a look at the recruitment requirements of Party B's enterprise of "Xiaobai Training Institute":
To sum up, Party B's requirements for talents: whether experienced or inexperienced, they want them all.
Because there are too many projects, the number of personnel required will be very large. Some companies also need a certain number of certificates to participate in the bidding, so certificates are a plus.
Advantages of Party B's position:
The requirements for the project experience of network workers are not high, the threshold is relatively low, and there is no clear restriction on academic qualifications. Because there are many projects undertaken, you will also take over a lot of projects, and your technical strength will also increase at a double speed.
Disadvantages of Party B's position:
More projects have advantages and disadvantages. In addition to exercising your skills, the workload will increase dramatically. Many people yearn for a stable job, and Party B is likely to need to travel frequently, and the threshold is low, so your starting salary will not be too high.
If you are about to graduate, have no project experience, and have a CCIE certificate (CCNP barely accepts it), then Party B should be your best choice.
Finally, let's take a look at what the manufacturer's job requirements are:
To sum up, the manufacturer's requirements for talents: I like network workers with a solid network foundation and a research and research attitude. Have a clear understanding of the protocol, and development experience is even better. The educational requirements are relatively high, and the minimum requirement for second-tier manufacturers is also a full-time undergraduate.
Manufacturer position advantages:
Benefits + salary are very good, and under the big platform, the ability to improve is also very fast.
Disadvantages of manufacturer positions:
The work pressure is very high, the competition is relatively fierce, and there are relatively high requirements for your growth ability.
Therefore, manufacturers are suitable for network engineers who have many years of experience and are willing to contact and engage in development.
Manufacturers should be regarded as the most familiar employment choice for novices. The certifications you know about Cisco, Huawei, H3C, Ruijie, Digital China, Juniper, etc. are all from manufacturers.
Generally speaking, in addition to R&D, network workers in the remaining two major directions can also choose, and there are corresponding positions, but there will be differences in ability requirements.
But if you must go into research and development, it is also possible. Lao Yang was the testing department in R&D back then, and learned a lot.
If your academic qualifications are average, how do you choose a job direction?
I think you can choose Party B first, which is also the choice of most network workers.
Network workers working here can quickly accumulate project experience, because your company needs to serve many, many parties, and you will learn about different network scenarios and architectures.
In the beginning, everyone has to do maintenance and troubleshooting, and things are complicated and complicated.
But for Xiaobai, there is really a lot to learn. After working for 2-3 years, it will be much easier for you to choose Party A or a manufacturer to change jobs than you with a blank sheet of paper.
