Experience (I should say that I majored in software engineering from three universities)

I don’t remember how many times I searched the school’s after-school homework online. Yes, probably all. I can’t remember clearly and don’t want to think about it. When I think of it, there are two words: regret; but everything has passed, regret is useless, time will not come back, I can only cherish the present and search again and again. , CSDN blogs answered one by one, and gradually I became familiar with Station C. It became a great tool for me to study or to be lazy and avoid studying. Time passed slowly. In college, I listened to what many people said, play first. It will take a year or two. I still have time to study later. I felt that I was okay at the time. The first few classes of C language seemed so easy. Moreover, I didn’t study very seriously in the first semester. I didn’t listen to the teacher’s classes very seriously. I almost got a scholarship. , my goal at that time was actually 60 points. I started to feel a little carried away, thinking that it was so easy, I might as well not hear about the finals and spend a few days just looking at it. I could pass it easily, and I felt like water. Well, then it was time to play in the first semester of my junior year. I wasn’t too nervous at first. I didn’t have any goals at that time, and my parents didn’t know what I was like. I still thought I could just casually hang out. , I don’t remember when it was. I just remember that one time my dad asked me what I wanted to do in the future and how I was doing in my major. In fact, these words were very common, but I didn’t know why these words entered my mind that time. In my mind, I also began to ask myself, what do I want to do in the future, what do I want to do, what can I do? I found that I can brag to my dad very smoothly, but I can't lie to myself. I find that I can't answer any of the questions. Question, I started to panic. School started in my junior year and I stopped playing, but I also didn’t study because I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn’t have my own goals. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Is it the postgraduate entrance examination? Or take the public examination? Or work? I don’t know, I really don’t know. I’m so confused. I feel like there’s a fog ahead. So I entered a period of confusion. During this period, I wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination to escape the choice, but I gave up. I didn’t like and didn’t want to take the public examination. I haven’t considered it before. The only option is to work, but what can I offer? It’s not necessarily that I’m better at browser-oriented programming than others. I started to feel very anxious and had no direction if I wanted to learn. I started reading Zhihu, Niuke, and various software. I don’t know. I was shocked when I saw it. It turns out that I am a clown. IT is really not easy. It is not as simple as I thought before. I started to be more anxious. I don’t have much time. Qiuzhao is very close to me. I didn’t want my university to end in vain, so I started to look for directions, study routes, and study materials. There were a lot of materials on the Internet. I was not disappointed. I found the direction. I wanted to go to python. I knew that it would be difficult to find a job in python. Easy, but I still feel that although it is not easy, there is still a chance. Mainly at that time, I was afraid of taking Java courses, so I embarked on the python learning route. I learned quickly because I didn’t write code very much. I didn’t write code seriously when I was in the basic and advanced stages. I didn’t even write code seriously when I was working on a project. Yes, I still retained my laziness. I still thought I could understand it and write some basics. It’s okay. I’ve been studying for several months and I think I’m okay. Although I’m better than a lot of people in our school, comparing myself to those who are not so good is like asking for death. My blind confidence will soon collapse. , my junior year is over, I didn’t go for a summer internship during the summer, I stayed in school and studied on my own, because I was still a little afraid that I didn’t learn enough, and I couldn’t go back to school for my senior year, because the school’s education reform meant that I graduated early. , Graduation defense can also be held online. It’s another world after leaving school. I’m still a little bit escaping. The fact is that I learned very rubbish. The autumn recruitment for gold, ninth and silver ten has begun. I started submitting my resume at the end of August. In September I found a job within two days of starting. Yes, there’s nothing wrong with it. Of course it’s not a big factory, it’s just a small factory. I had three choices. I chose the one that was more normal and felt like I could learn skills. I went there happily. Then I resigned after working for half a month. Low-code development turned out to be different from what I imagined. I can’t say it’s very simple because I’m rubbish, but when I entered it, I almost forgot everything I learned. I didn't want to do this, so I chose to leave. After I left, I continued to look for a job, but I found that I couldn't find it because I really forgot all the interview questions, and there were really few python positions. The market situation is really bad this year. Many of them have been rejected without replying or were rejected without submitting. My self-confidence has been completely abused. I feel very uncomfortable and confused. I don’t know what to do. My parents hope that I will I'll just take a class and wait until I graduate. I don't know what to do. My parents want me to go to Yiwu to do cross-border e-commerce, because that's what my cousin does, and my cousin is doing it now. Shuiqi is what my parents say is a successful person. I wanted to compromise but was unwilling to do so. I called my cousin and told him that I might go to Yiwu to learn cross-border e-commerce. I told him some of my ideas. He also graduated from college. He gave me a suggestion: don’t give up so early and try again. I haven’t graduated yet and I still have a good chance. I have worked hard for so long and so fast. It's a pity to give up, and now it's impossible to go back to IT after switching to cross-border e-commerce. But I can switch to e-commerce at any time. His words woke me up. Although I don't know if it's right or not, My heart told me to give up like this and I would regret it. I wanted to try again. After talking to my cousin, I called my parents to get their support. Their response surprised me. Unexpectedly, yes, they disagreed, because in their eyes, I graduated from school and had to earn money and start to take care of my own basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. I felt very uncomfortable, really very uncomfortable. In their eyes, I felt I understand a lot, and I am more determined in my own ideas. I want to fight for myself again. I don’t want to give up. I don’t blame them for not understanding my ideas, but I don’t want to keep walking the path they arranged. I want to Fight for yourself one day at a time. Even if I fail, I have tried my best and I have no regrets. Now I study every day. Now I am learning Java. At the same time, I am also reviewing python to supplement the basics. I have to do questions every day. Looking at the interview questions, I am improving myself every day. I feel very fulfilled. Now I have to type code and make plans and summaries every day. You can supervise me and read the notes and summaries uploaded to my code cloud. Although I'm under a lot of pressure now, I've been persisting, I have to resist, I will resist, all in the spring recruitment is you, of course I submit my resume every day to look at python positions, looking for interview opportunities, although it is very sad Yes, there is no chance for an interview at all, but you must persist. You must persist in front of the computer. For the sake of your future, I would like to send you a message: The sun always comes after the storm, please believe in the rainbow.
Other people’s experiences (this is other people’s self-reports that I saw on Niuke, you can take a look)
The Golden 9th and Silver 10th seasons have begun, and I don’t know how your friends are finding jobs. Since the advent of masks, with the withdrawal of foreign investment, deterioration of relations and other issues, the downturn in the entire industry must have been witnessed by everyone and even deeply felt. This also further shows that the offers are hard-won, but after checking Niuke, I saw that many people still got jobs. I feel that everyone is really strong and you are really awesome.
However, I also found that the most powerful people are basically from prestigious schools, and the least of them is the same. So it seems that the industry has now entered the stage of looking at academic qualifications and schools. Is that correct?
Of course, I don't mean that you don't have the ability to win by academic qualifications. After all, academic qualifications are also part of your strength. Even if you don't look at academic qualifications, I don't have much chance. Shushu, I am just really envious. Especially when I see some people on the homepage saying that cabbage prices are insulting to offers in their twenties and thirties, I feel really envious. I envy but also regret that I was young and ignorant, so I wrote this article just to share my experience as a reference or fun for others, and as a warning.
The Rat Man lives in Shandong and graduated from a private Chinese university in Jinan. I won’t mention his name. Everyone in Jinan probably knows this bad school. Shushu’s computer plot started when he was playing games and his account was stolen when he was a teenager. At that time, he followed the search engine’s guidance and saw the post on analyzing keyloggers in the hacker forum. Step by step, he analyzed the email address and password in the keylogger. Password, although he did not retrieve his account, he deleted all the emails of the new stolen account and reported the email. This shifted my focus from gaming to the computer itself. Since then, I have been hanging out in various hacker forums. At that time, the popular ones in various forums were light tracing, particle cannons, and big bad wolves or gray pigeons. The most technical ones, or I can understand the most technical ones, even Yes 00 truncation and PHP SMS bombing. It was during that time that I learned to use Dig Chicken, Ming Boy and Ah D. That era was really the easiest era to learn, with hacker forums and various websites that had no security implications all over the world. At that time, people also had a hacker spirit. They would not take off their pants until they destroyed it. After backing up the homepage and leaving a black page, that was it. At the age of fourteen, Shushu imitated Ah D and Ming Xiaozi and wrote his first scanner in Yi language. At that moment, I felt that I was born to eat this bowl of rice. At that moment, I felt that I had to do this in my life. At that moment, I did not expect that I would be happy, angry, sad, and happy because of it for the next ten years.
Shushu, who went to high school, did well in the high school entrance examination and entered the top-ranked high school in his hometown. This high school is ranked high in Shandong Province. Every year, there are several who can go to Qingbei and what is now called Students from schools like C9 are very recognized in our local area. Of course, this kind of achievement naturally comes at a price, that is, resources are infinitely allocated to key classes, good teachers, good policies, and even good positions during conferences. Although Shushu passed the exam, his grades were not high enough and he failed to enter the key class. Instead, he entered the best ordinary class. Shushu also worked hard at the beginning. Sometimes he would stay in the classroom after self-study in the evening and study at the expense of washing up. He would not rush back to the dormitory until lights out to rinse his feet with cold water in the public bathroom and wash his face quickly. I even had an unpleasant quarrel with my roommate for a long time because I returned to the dormitory too late and had stinky feet. It’s really funny to think about it now. This kind of effort lasted until the second year of high school, when I was divided into arts and sciences. Shushu is actually a person who attaches great importance to liberal arts. When he was in school, he always scored relatively high in politics, history and geography. The reason why he was not admitted to the key classes when he entered this high school was because he failed in mathematics and physics in the entrance examination. Then Shushu chose liberal arts when it came to dividing arts and sciences, and was assigned to science. This is partly due to Shushu's father. He changed the subject to science without consulting my class teacher on the grounds that science subjects are better for employment. After Shushu came out with the class schedule, he went to the class teacher to inquire about this incident. The head teacher was in a dilemma and could only ask me to call home to discuss. The result of the discussion was that they broke up unhappy. From then on, Shuashu fell into a very long period of trouble. During this period, Shuoshu went through some things, such as applying to the school to participate in the information competition and being rejected. The reason was that I was not good at studying. Qualifications; for example, he is addicted to playing football, but becomes the object of ridicule because of his poor skills and poor physical fitness; for example, like many third-rate novels, he has just begun to fall in love but ends up in Huainan. During that time, Shushu hated everything so much that he wished he could leave forever. The college entrance examination is coming as scheduled, and it will not tolerate anyone. Before high school, Shushu's lowest goal was to read one book, even if it was Shuang Fei, at least one book. However, at the end of high school, Shushu only had 430 points, which was 3 points away from the lowest score line. I didn’t deserve it.
At the end of August, I got on a car leaving my hometown and headed for the provincial capital. Although this was not my first trip to Jinan, I still felt a little scared when I thought that this was the place where I would live for many years to come. I still remember that the sunshine that day was very dazzling, shining on my face through the glass of the rear compartment. I tried to forget all the unpleasantness, forget the quarrels, forget the complaints, forget everything.
"I'm going to start a new life." I said to myself.
Although I don’t know Jinan or the place I’m going to, I don’t care. I believe that man can conquer nature. I believe that my destiny is still in my own hands. I believe that I will be the trend-setter of this era. Like countless predecessors in the past, I will be the next miracle creator. Now think about it, how childish and ridiculous. We always think that hard work can change everything, but we have never thought that in addition to hard work, success also requires talent, education, influence, environment and luck. We have never even thought about whether our efforts are hard work or self-motivation.
That fall, good news came out frequently in the Internet industry, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand... That fall, in the Sichuan restaurant outside the school, I straightened my chest, and I was proud of everyone I knew. I talked loudly about the future of computer software, I pointed out the situation, and I inspired the words, as if I was a member of the carnival. In addition to being inspired, I also became more determined to go all the way to the dark side. During those three years, I changed my attitude in high school and devoured various courses in the software technology major. Is the original knowledge too fragmented? It doesn't matter, I'll learn it again according to the normal technology stack. Can’t you understand, Gao Shu? It doesn't matter, I can stay up, I'll go to the all-night study room. I participated in competitions within the school, in the city, and in the province, and failed and failed again and again. In 2019, I finally won the second prize of the Shandong Saiguan Cup. Of course, this kind of award seems not worth mentioning now, but at the time I was really happy for a long time. At the end of the year, I decided to upgrade to a bachelor's degree. Education is a thorn in my heart. I want to pull it out now, even if it will still leave an obvious scar, but I don't want to endure the torture it brings to me anymore. After all, before this, even at the school's job fair, I heard too many "but you are only a junior college".
I wanted it, I did it, and then I succeeded.
In a small 10-square-meter shabby room in Jinan Chengji Center, I was so happy that I almost overturned the instant noodles on the table. During that time, the dual pressure of performance and the epidemic made me breathless. Now I can finally relax. This is a real new life.
In September, I returned to my alma mater, but now I have made more progress. I will no longer be disliked by others because of my low academic qualifications. I am finally standing on the same starting line as them.
The new semester amid the epidemic is proceeding step by step in a tense and strange atmosphere, including dormitories, classrooms, nucleic acid sites, and libraries. The frequent quarantines and emergency investigations did not disrupt my life, and I was once again bathed in the ocean of knowledge. Although I returned to my alma mater, my major was a new one - network engineering, a field I had never been exposed to before, such as routing and switching, wireless tuning, network planning, etc., and everything was so interesting. In a class full of Internet majors, I became a laggard again. It's okay, I'll learn it again. See Cisco's CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE from Wakin's HCIA, HCIP, and HCIE. From R&S, we see datacom, EI, storage, and security.
It took me a year to go from knowing nothing about who owns ensp and packet trace to being able to independently design a small and medium-sized enterprise network. I feel like this time I'm ready and I can take on the challenge.
Then reality slapped me in the face.
Internships must follow the school. Do you have a favorite company? No, the school doesn't recognize it. Self-employment? no. Not participating in the internship? no. I was forced to choose a slightly related company internship during the school's recruitment to do hardware implementation and integration work. Because I had a pretty good time during that time, I won't mention it here. Later I learned that my internship was one of the best among this group of college-to-undergraduate students. Apart from my job, most people have joined the factory. I even heard that the above restrictions are not what the school means, but there are some stories involved.
By the time the internship was over and I had gone through the graduation process, I could no longer find my place in the recruiting software. The final answer to all inquiries was "Unfortunately, we are recruiting graduates of the 23rd class" or even "for the graduates of 2024." At the same time, the promotion of various software has changed from various high-paying people poaching to Shopee or other companies starting to lay off employees, and the topic discussed on the Internet has also changed from who is the better language to whether the Internet is still there. There is no future.
In anxiety, I began to wait for spring recruitment. However, the spring recruitment was not ideal, as there was no work experience, and the projects were only award-winning projects in college and projects written during innovation and entrepreneurship competitions. At that time, I had not even heard of the distributed and microservices that the recruiter was talking about. Pass. My resume couldn't pass the initial screening of big factories, and I didn't take advantage of the occasional two or three small factories that gave me opportunities. Although I got several software implementation and project integration jobs, they were not my favorite jobs and their salaries were so low that I might not even be able to live on. Under such circumstances, I ended my spring recruitment. Pack your bags and go back to your hometown from Jinan.
On the bus back, I put on my headphones and listened to "Goodbye Jinan". The dusk sun was no longer dazzling, and my mood was completely different from when I came to Jinan five years ago. A truck transporting pigs passed us by. A pig's chop that was different from the other pigs was trying to reach out on the railing, constantly trying to jump out. At a certain moment, I didn't know whether I felt sorry for it or for me. Own. It's dying, and so am I in a sense.
When I returned to my hometown, I didn’t know what I should do or what I could do. I ate at home with a hammer and a stick and waited to die. On August 26, amidst my parents’ accusations and complaints, I took the business establishment examination at their request. I scored 74, which was too low, and I was not admitted. Another argument ensued, and this time they were emboldened to accuse me of wasting ten of my most precious years. I didn't argue again, losers have no right to speak. But the idea of escape once again occupied the mainstream of my mind, so when I was only four months away from the postgraduate entrance examination, I decided to do it all over again. I don't expect great grades or a good school. I just need two more years of buffering time to reorganize my technology stack and give me the experience of participating in a serious internship and the status of a fresh graduate.
If I still fail this time, then I will accept my fate. I also hope that the current students I can see can gain a little bit of their own gains and experiences from my experience, and I hope you can be yourself as you wish.
This is the story that I, a 22nd graduate, an ordinary person who has accomplished nothing, a smug clown with a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper, want to tell me.
Suggested habits to develop
- Daily plan + daily summary (daily plan must be executable and specific; daily summary should include the completion of the day's tasks, as well as shortcomings. If there are shortcomings, you must correct them. You cannot knowingly make mistakes every day, but you must also have plans for tomorrow. Tomorrow’s plan should also be executable and detailed)
- Take good notes (good memory or poor writing skills, don’t underestimate your notes, it’s really important, you will thank yourself if you take notes every day)
- Upload your notes to code cloud or github warehouse every day
- Keep exercising every day. Even if you don’t want to exercise, you should go for a walk (personally, I think you should walk for at least an hour and run for half an hour. It is recommended to go for a walk in the morning and evening)
- Read more documents and books, and don’t be too ambitious. Don’t think about the source code every day. You still have to weigh your weight first. It’s not that I don’t recommend reading the source code, but don’t think about the source code as soon as you get started.
