Hello everyone, I am Mr. Xu.
Although everyone is talking about the bad environment and resigning cautiously , some colleagues have resigned recently, and there must be some around you.
A colleague has been in the company for two or three years. He has accumulated a lot of skills and is safe in doing things, but he left suddenly, which is quite surprising.
After asking, it turned out that he planned to go to a bigger company and wanted to fight.
It can be seen that many times the so-called general environment, market, etc. are just external factors. Whether you want to leave your job or change jobs depends on yourself.
Of course, thinking about it alone, I don't know what to do.
This time I found a few good brothers who have changed jobs and asked them to share with you their resignation experience.
And discuss together, when do you think it is time to resign, and even if you want to resign, what things should you think about.
Today's article reading benefits: "2023 Network Engineer Must-Read Book List (e-book download)"
No matter where you change jobs, you have to learn the skills well, the books are all readable.
Private message me and send the secret code "2023" to get the collection of books for network worker promotion and arrange it.
01 It's time to change jobs
@想加报的网工Glen "When the leader knew that I was going to change jobs, he proposed to give me a promotion and a salary increase, and I resolutely chose to leave."
Whether you can be promoted and raise salary , this point should be the first factor for everyone to consider when leaving the job .
I have been in this integrator since I graduated, and I have been in the company for two or three years. When I joined the company, my monthly salary was 8k. It has been two years and there has been no increase.
Looking at other people's two or three years of experience, the salary has risen, but I have fallen behind a lot.
Who can bear this?
At that time, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked the company to increase my salary by 2k. I went through a salary increase report and wrote a work summary. After half a month of tossing, the manager finally said that I could only increase by 800.
I thought the company's other remuneration was okay, but it's fine if I can't keep it, and I looked at the opportunities outside, yes, the monthly salary is not lower than 1w.
If you don't leave now, when will you stay?
At that time, I took two days off to go to the interview. The manager saw that I was going to change jobs. The human resources director went straight to the job and told me that he would give me a 2k increase application.
Why did you go early.
Anyway, my interview was very successful, and I jumped to another larger integrator. The salary was 13k for me. I still felt that my asking price was low, and I should have left earlier.
@Operation and Maintenance Back Pot Xia Tian Master "Working is too suffocating! The system fails, no matter what the reason is, I am the first to be hit every time."
In fact, this point of being blamed is basically a job of Internet workers. Everyone can feel the same way.
But when I was engaged in operation and maintenance in my original company, I accidentally made mistakes before, and they always felt that I was not qualified enough, which was outrageous.
One day, when I was out to troubleshoot WIFI faults for others, the technician called me and complained wildly, "Is the maximum number of connections for the oracle you configured really 3,000? Why is it stuck when it reaches 300? Come back soon."
Another day, as soon as the project was launched, the load on all the servers in the cluster was soaring, and a pot came flying. It must be a problem with my system configuration.
Another day, it was said that there was a project strike, and the leader's first reaction was to call me back to the company to work overtime at 11:00 p.m.
Just saying a few words is full of tears. I have investigated the above-mentioned things for a long time, and in the end it is not my problem.
When the company doesn't recognize your business ability enough, everyone will say that you try to do better, isn't that enough?
But if the structure of a company is really like that, there is no need to let yourself die, and the work is too suffocating, it is better to find a new one quickly.
I couldn't bear it later, I resigned naked and went out to find a new job.
@恶恶早晚的网工小赵 "On call, no personal life, which company's network workers are on call 24 hours a day."
I dare not say that I am the most overtime network worker, but it is definitely more difficult than many people here.
The size of the former company was actually quite large, and the salary offered when I entered it was not bad, but I didn’t say that there were so many things.
It stands to reason that when you need to debug network equipment or troubleshoot for customers, you will be busy , and you usually go to and from work normally, right?
But the leader said on weekends that we have to go back to the company and work overtime if we want results on Monday.
In order to maintain the customer relationship, we are not treated as human beings, and we have to investigate immediately when there is a fault.
It's like asking you to be on call 24 hours a day.
The problem is that they don't give them time off, and the approval of overtime application forms is cumbersome.
Don't ask me if I have any opinions with the company, but any company that can listen to people's words will not let me run away.
@ZFL sooner or later is a network engineer "When I entered, I wanted to learn technology, but the company was not good and the threshold was too low, so I couldn't learn anything.
I feel that there should be many people in the same situation as me. They have just graduated and entered a company and want to learn technology well.
Later I went in and found that I couldn't learn any skills. I said I was a network worker, but I was actually doing chores.
At that time, the work was not busy, and the main tasks were material inventory, office equipment maintenance, and the simplest intelligent system inspection.
Anyway, I ran away after working for 3 months.
Because I was a college student, I didn’t have any certificates or academic qualifications at the time, so the company I went to was really not good, and I knew my level well.
After staying for a week, I started to go to work in the morning and learn IP in the evening. As soon as I got the three-month certificate, I resigned.
Step by step to the present, working outsourced by a big manufacturer , I think it's not bad, but I still want to take the technology one step further.
In the next step, I am going to continue to change jobs after passing the safe IE test.
@Project Manager Zhao Zong "The company is very good, but for me, I have to go..."
Many people are complaining about the company and leaving while cursing , but I really left reluctantly . I don’t know if anyone can empathize.
I went to a small and medium-sized company to work as a network engineer. At that time, only my teacher and I were responsible for the network and hardware.
The division of labor in the entire IT department is also very clear, everyone performs their duties and the relationship is harmonious.
I was really lucky. I met a good master. He has been teaching me with his heart, taking me through the project, teaching me how to do it , and helping me to mark and correct the poorly written report.
It's been a long time, but it's a pity that the company's scale has been unable to expand, but the business has shrunk, and things have become less.
I have accumulated a lot of experience, but I really don't see room for improvement.
To stay the same for a long time is to regress, it's time to try new challenges, and I finally choose to take the initiative .
02 Think about these things before leaving
Friends above, the situation shared is varied.
Some ran away immediately, and some left after accumulating experience. Obviously, they all thought it through clearly, and they really had to leave this job.
What about you, have you figured it out? Follow these points to think about it.
01 What have you accumulated in this company
When people go to work, there are nothing more than two things that are growing.
One is the money in your pocket , and the other is your ability .
The former is the basis that affects your job-hopping, while the latter is a key indicator that affects your job-hopping.
No matter how you change jobs, what you need to do before that is to accumulate first.
Unless the company is really useless, you can't help but leave if the trial period is not over.
But if there is room for learning, then keep it first, learn the technology clearly, and accumulate your actual work experience.
In addition, the job-hopping company will also consider factors such as your stability. The length of service in this company is actually a kind of accumulation.
So I advise you, if you can learn technology at work, work hard to accumulate work experience.
If you have mastered all the skills that can be learned, but the length of service is relatively short and it is not easy to change jobs, then it is just a matter of spending some time to improve yourself .
For example, refer to the previous brother, take a manufacturer certification, HICE or something, more than half a year, and run away after learning.
Working age and learning technology, killing two birds with one stone.
Think about it, we network workers, what do we rely on to find a job?
It's not just relying on your work experience and knowledge reserve.
Another manufacturer certification is used as a stepping stone to job hopping, and the probability of successful job hopping increases a lot.
02 Raise your professional threshold
What is the threshold for employment ?
For example, network administrators only need to repair computers and configure routers. Relatively speaking, the threshold for work is relatively low.
Or like some basic desktop operation and maintenance, although it is also capable.
But as you grow older, do you think the company will increase your salary, or lay you off and replace you with "cheap labor"?
If you can keep raising the bar for your job, you will have fewer competitors.
It's a bit like climbing a tall mountain, the higher you go, the fewer travelers there will be.
So job hopping, try to jump up .
You can jump from network administrator to desktop operation and maintenance , from desktop operation and maintenance to network engineer , from network engineer to network architect , and from network architect to security architect.
You can also jump from a 5k network worker to an 8k network worker, from a medium-sized company to a large company, from technology to management .
As long as you are improving your career threshold, it is progress.
03 Keep an eye on all directions and pay attention to the latest developments and trends in the industry
Many friends should have discovered it. The club now often publishes some industry trends and report interpretations .
Why set up such a section? It is to give you the latest developments and trends in the industry.
Find a few articles for you to read:
" If you don't pay attention, the job demand for network security engineers has broken 2.37 million "
" You may not know anything about the network equipment of these 4 ICT industries "
" In the eyes of Huawei, what else will the ICT industry do this year?" "
From these reports, it can be clearly seen in which direction the network engineering industry is developing.
Can the basic network workers still sit still?
The campus network field is evolving towards the integration of office production;
In the field of data center network , it is continuously evolving towards hyper-converged Ethernet;
In the field of wide-area networks , operators' basic bearer networks will accelerate converged bearer networks;
In the field of network security , digital transformation is accelerating, and boundaries are constantly being broken;
The field of cloud and digital energy is developing rapidly, with huge dividends;
……
If you don't learn, where do you get new cognition?
If you don't study, where will the opportunities for improvement come from?
The more you see, the more possibilities you will discover, the better you can grasp your own destiny and reverse it.
04 Don't set limits for yourself, choose the one that suits you best
Finally, I want to tell you.
Although the above mentioned are all key steps to strive to get better and better, everyone pursues different points.
For example, someone asked me before:
His health is not good, he doesn't want to stay up late to work overtime, and he doesn't want to do physical work. How can he develop as a net worker.
The first suggestion must be to go to a company that makes you comfortable and refuse to involve. Like some operators, state-owned enterprises, and civil servants, it will definitely be relatively easy.
And you can adjust your network worker direction , for example, you can develop in the direction of cloud computing , which has a good development prospect and can reduce business trips and physical work.
If you also want to chat with someone, talk about the confusion and choices of career and life, private message me, send the password "Q&A", and chat together.
After working for so many years, how can I share some practical advice with you.
In fact, it is not only the above points that urge us to resign, but there are also many factors that affect our job-hopping.
It is always you who can choose.
Often think about, are you satisfied with your current job, are you still moving forward, and do you want to improve.
I wish everyone who sees this place a promotion and a salary increase .
