Most programmers choose to change jobs in order to pursue higher salaries.
In the IT industry, there is an unwritten rule: If you want to increase your salary quickly, you have to change jobs!
For programmers, if they stay in a company for a long time, salary increases and promotions are too slow, and they will always be doing basic work to get an average salary.
Moreover, it is not surprising that the old people in the workplace are paid upside down by the newcomers.
So don't think about working hard all the time in a company to achieve leapfrog development in your life. To be honest, it's too difficult! Anyone who understands knows that salary increases are achieved by job hopping.
Although job-hopping and salary increases are fast, it does not mean that you can frequently change jobs for salary increases.
Recently, I saw such a post on a social platform: a big data programmer with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan quit for an interview, but was directly eliminated after being complained by HR.
This programmer has changed jobs 4 times within 2 years of graduation, and his salary has increased from 4,000 yuan at the beginning to 20,000 yuan now.
When he chose to change jobs again toward the goal of 25,000, he was complained by HR on the spot: You have changed too many jobs, no matter how good your skills are, we will not hire you, let alone use you.
From a programmer's point of view, it is a normal and effective way to get a high salary by job-hopping, but frequent job-hopping will indeed have a bad influence on yourself.
The stability is not strong, which will affect future job hunting
Of course, any company prefers more stable employees. The employees they train themselves leave when they are about to become core employees. No company is happy for this to happen.
Frequent job changes will give the company an extremely unstable feeling. When the company boss or team leader sees a resume of a job seeker who frequently changes jobs, most of them will not let this resume pass!
Because I know that you don't have a stable mentality, I worry about cultivating you, and you leave, and your efforts are in vain.
It is not conducive to the improvement of professional ability
To be a programmer, the technical ability must first be in place. However, the techniques and tools used by different units are different.
Take a technical position as an example. For example, if you are a developer, this company uses this set of frameworks, and the next company may use another framework. All of these require time to be proficient and proficient.
Repeated job-hopping for several years may cause you to be neither proficient nor proficient in any framework, and naturally your skills have not really been improved.
Not conducive to the accumulation of advantages
To achieve a little achievement in everything, it takes time to accumulate, which is a big problem for people who frequently change jobs.
If you jump around frequently and change jobs frequently, your accumulation is often gone, and it is difficult to reach a certain level of career. You may jump back and forth between the primary stages of different fields, and eventually you will not be able to advance.
In addition, job-hopping is not conducive to the accumulation of one's own network. At the same time, job-hopping also needs to spend time and energy to re-contact and adapt to the new environment. These costs should also be taken into consideration when job-hopping.
Therefore, when changing jobs, you must think clearly about these questions:
-
Why did I quit?
-
What is my goal for the next 3-5 years?
-
Is this job-hopping conducive to the realization of the goal?
-
Will this job-hopping have an adverse effect on future development?
Then consider whether job-hopping is beneficial to your current and future development based on the problem.
In fact, to avoid frequent job-hopping, there is only one thing to know about yourself. Clearly know what you want at each stage, and make long-term and complete plans.
Having said so much, job hopping is not an end, but a means to achieve the ultimate career goal.
Job-hopping is good, but don't be greedy for too much!
