With a salary of 25k, I still resigned from Bytedance...

This decision has been on my mind for a long time. It wasn’t until some time ago that Byte was trending and I resigned... I
still mustered up the courage to write this article. It can be regarded as finding a new goal and having the courage to start again.

After graduating in 2017, I joined Didi, and then switched to Byte, where I have been engaged in software testing. No previous internship experience

I graduated more than 4 years ago and am working in a testing position. I have worked in many small and medium-sized companies before. In fact, I had a relatively good understanding of Byte’s values ​​and atmosphere before joining...

The reasons for choosing to remove bytes are as follows:

Judging from the job position, Byte is considered a first-tier manufacturer. Go in and experience learning, and get gold-plated by the way.
My inner recognition of myself is that if I can pass Byte's technical aspects, I can't say that I am very good, but at least I am not a parallel importer.
My parents hope I work in a "respectable" place... Bye is quite respectable in their circle, and it seems that their children are very hard-working.

In short, for all the above reasons, I prepared carefully... and finally passed the interview with Byte. I was still very happy at the time and I was very satisfied with the salary.

I completed a promotion and changed companies. There were times when I was happy and contented, and there were also days when I was confused and struggling. However, I managed to transform from a newbie in the workplace to a senior paddler fairly smoothly.

 

1. From thinking it was God’s favor to not adapting

In the first few days when I joined the company, I was very excited. I got familiar with the company environment with my colleagues who joined the company, and helped him solve some technical problems... However, in the next two months, although I was mentally prepared, I was still very Not used to it.

I still feel very uncomfortable with the entire culture and everyone's behavior.

First of all, there are many meetings. A meeting often lasts for 2 hours, and everyone likes to interrupt and slow down the progress of the meeting. Small questions that can be counted clearly in three sentences are stuffed into various high-level word combinations and reorganized into articles. It’s a big composition. After a few meetings, I felt like I was stupid. It was a feeling of complete confusion!

At the same time, I was assigned several pieces of business shortly after joining the company. After that, people related to these businesses all came to you when they had problems. It was common for two-digit people to come to you every day to solve problems... And I was also a newcomer, so I didn’t understand many things. My senior brother who had just joined the job was assigned to another job. I feel quite isolated and helpless. When I ask questions for help from the group, I often get the reply "If you don't understand this business, go and learn about it as soon as possible"...

I have no choice but to bite the bullet, because Byte uses many self-built tool libraries and frameworks internally, and many tool documents are indeed not very good. Many times, you have to ask the maintainer directly. Then when you ask, the other person will see you as a new person and will most likely have read it for several hours without replying... In short, it is very difficult and inefficient to solve the problem, and you often get criticized directly.

2. Resign decisively

During this period, I also took another test. The test was originally a small thing, but as I continued to test it, I found that it was different from what was promised. Many things that should have been tested were not done. So I raised this question to other team members, and the reply was, "Test it, and retest a certain piece of xxx by the way." As a result, what was originally a small problem turned into a slightly disgusting bomb, and in the end it was not easy. It's done. Looking at the colleagues who joined me together, I felt that the work they were responsible for was much easier to deal with than mine, which also made my originally unstable mentality even more explosive.

This situation lasted for a month. One night, I asked an acquaintance about the situation. As soon as he heard about the business I was responsible for, he immediately reflexively said, "This is a shit basin." I was shocked when I discovered that several of the businesses I was responsible for were recognized pitfalls. They were filled with trivial needs and deep pits, and it was difficult to measure any results.

After learning the news, I wandered around downstairs for a while after dinner, hoping to calm down, but the more I thought about it, the more headache I got. So I went upstairs again, turned on the computer, and found a lot of unread messages on Feishu. After a quick glance, the screen was full of:

"Help and take a look", "We have a problem with xxx, please help solve it quickly", "Test xxx", "There is a problem with your xxx, please help and take a look", and several groups filled the screen Positive thumbs up…

At that time, I felt like I took a breath of cold air and was in a trance. In fact, a few days ago, I felt like going to work was like going to a grave. I felt like there was a ghost following me every day, and my brain was always in a high-pressure and tense state. Although I should be able to continue to resist these things for a while, I really don't like this style of doing things. I feel that if something goes wrong, everyone is trying to find a way to blame it and find the person responsible. I didn’t think I could transform into a person who could fit in with this kind of atmosphere, so I thought about it and decided to leave my job after I went back that night!

In this process, I summed up some practical paddling experiences. Some of them were learned by myself, and some were learned from communicating with others. I would like to share them with you here.

The advice I give is similar. If you are currently in an outsourcing company, study more and strive to improve your skills. You must also clarify your career plan so that you have the capital to change jobs and have the opportunity to compete with others.

Here I share with you a complete set of test materials. This note has been of great help to me in my study. If necessary, click on the link below to join the group to receive the information package. They are all shared for free!

1. Learn to think deeply and summarize

The first thing I want to say is to learn to think deeply and summarize. This is the most important and meaningful thing in my opinion.

First let’s think deeply. In the circle of programmers, you can often hear some comments: My job has no technical content at all. I just do a little bit every day. What can I learn from this? Put aside some ridicule and joking arguments, this Maybe it is indeed the true thoughts of some classmates, at least I used to think so. Later, with the accumulation of work experience and discussions with some high-level classmates, I found that this idea was actually very wrong.

The idea that there is nothing to learn is basically the result of lazy thinking. Any seemingly inconspicuous little thing, as long as you think deeply and dig a little deeper vertically or broaden horizontally, it is an ocean of knowledge that is enough for people to indulge in.

Let’s talk about the summary . I think this is where most programmers are lacking. They can do one thing very well just by immersing themselves in work. But I almost never make abstract summaries, so that after working for several years, the knowledge I have mastered is still sporadic and unsystematic. Not only is it easy to forget, but it also causes my vision to be narrow and my view of problems to be limited.

It is very important to make some summaries and reflections in a timely manner. This is a process from technique to Tao, which will allow you to see the problem from a wider perspective and at a higher level. When encountering the same type of problems, you can follow the summarized methodology to advance and solve it systematically and hierarchically.

As an example. For background services, 1G of memory was optimized today and 50% of the reading and writing time will be optimized tomorrow. Can you summarize the performance optimization?

For example, at the application layer, you can manage the applications connected to the service and sort out the rationality of their access; at the architecture layer, you can do caching, preprocessing, read-write separation, asynchronous, parallel, etc.; at the code layer, you can do things There is more, resource pooling, object reuse, lock-free design, large key splitting, delayed processing, encoding compression, gc tuning and various language-related high-performance practices... I will meet you next time For scenarios that require performance optimization, a whole set of ideas can be applied immediately, and the rest is a matter of tools and practical operations.

Some students said that I would argue with the PM every day to work on the requirements and not do any performance optimization. Let’s not discuss whether performance optimization can be done. In terms of business needs alone, there are also things that can be summarized. For example, how to build a system? Have you thought about the core capabilities of the system, system boundaries, system bottlenecks, service layering and splitting, and service governance? You discuss the requirements with the PM every day. How should you, as a technical student, cultivate product thinking and guide you? Product trends, how to make architecture precede business, these issues can also be thought about and summarized, right?

Therefore, learning and growth are a self-driven process. If you feel that there is nothing to learn, it is most likely not because there is really nothing to learn, but because you are too lazy, not only too lazy in action, but also too lazy in thinking. Too lazy.

You can write more technical articles, share more, and force yourself to think and summarize. After all, if the article is not deep enough, everyone will be embarrassed to share it publicly.

2. Actively learn and maintain enthusiasm for technology

An anxiety theory that has been widely circulated in the Internet circle in the past two years is called the 35-year-old programmer phenomenon. The general idea is that programmers who work in this industry until they are 35 years old are basically waiting to be laid off. It is undeniable that the Internet industry is indeed inferior to civil servants and other institutional professions in this regard. But the 35-year-old programmer in this question is not 35 in the absolute physiological sense. It should refer to those programmers who have worked for more than ten years and who have worked for two or three years. There is not much difference. The following jobs are basically resting on one's laurels without taking the initiative to learn and recharge. 35 years old is almost the same as 25 years old, and there is no desire for learning and growth at 25 years old. Instead, many trivial matters in family life are added, and salary requirements are often higher. It seems to the enterprise that this is indeed not very competitive.

And if we actively learn and keep our technical capabilities and knowledge reserves proportional to our working years, how can we have any anxiety when we are 35 years old? I think major companies should be rushing to get such experts, right? But learning is a matter of , is actually an anti-human process, which requires us to force ourselves to jump out of our comfort zone, take the initiative to learn, and maintain technical enthusiasm. There is a saying in Didi that goes something like this: Take the initiative to step out of your comfort zone and feel struggle and pressure. It is often the darkness before dawn, and that is when you grow the fastest. On the contrary, if you feel that you are living a comfortable life every day and that your work is just messing around with your hours, then you may be boiling a frog in warm water.

During the period after graduation, you often have more free time, which is a good time to work hard to learn technology. Use this period of time to lay a solid foundation, develop good study habits, and maintain a positive learning attitude, which should benefit you throughout your life. As for how to study efficiently, there are many experts writing such posts on the Internet. After arriving at the company, you can also find many such sharings on the intranet, so I won’t go into more details.

3. Take the initiative and communicate feedback in a timely manner

The first two are from a personal perspective. I hope everyone can improve their personal capabilities and maintain core competitiveness. But from a company's perspective, when recruiting employees, the most important thing is for them to create business value and contribute to the company. Serve.

Although there is generally a certain training system for school admissions, in fact the company does not have the obligation to help us grow. When it comes to being able to accomplish things and create value for the company, I think the two most important words are taking the initiative, taking the initiative to take on tasks, proactively communicating, proactively promoting project progress, proactively coordinating resources, proactively giving upward feedback, and proactively creating impact. Power and so on.

When I first joined the company, I basically did my job well according to the tasks assigned by the leader, and then did my own thing. I almost never took the initiative to communicate with others or actively think of ideas that could help the development of the project. I thought that it was enough to complete my job with quality and quantity, but later I found that this was actually not enough. This was only the most basic requirement.

Some students' approach is that the leader only needs to synchronize what direction they want to take recently, and the leader basically does not need to worry about the following series of things. I am a leader like this classmate, and I also like it. A word you often hear after joining a company is owner awareness, which probably means this.

Another very important point in this process is timely upward communication and feedback. If the project is not progressing smoothly, if you encounter any problems, synchronize with the leader in time. If you are not sure about the technical solution, you can discuss it with the leader. If you cannot coordinate some resources, you can ask the leader for help. Don't have too many scruples, thinking that these will be too troublesome. Leaders actually do what they do. This matter.

If the project is progressing smoothly and there is really no need for the leader to intervene, then it is also necessary to provide timely feedback on the progress of the project and the benefits achieved. If you have any ideas, you should also discuss them. Ask the leader for his suggestions on the current progress and what other areas there are. Needs improvement to eliminate information errors. Doing these things, on the one hand, makes reasonable use of the various resources of the leader, and on the other hand, it also allows the leader to understand his workload and control the overall project. After all, the leader also has leaders, and they also need to report.

Maybe it’s the upward management that everyone dislikes. It’s a bit offensive. I actually don’t do this well either. But the most basic point is, don’t accept a task and work sullenly or even isolate yourself from the world. You haven’t synchronized with the leader for a month, thinking about holding back a big move or something, that’s basically cool.

You must take the initiative. You can start by forcing yourself to speak in various public places. If you have questions or ideas, you can do so one-on-one.

4. A set of good materials to systematically improve learning
