Truth About Internet companies:
Most small companies the welfare system is not perfect
It is not an accurate estimate, this small city where I was, on average every 10 companies have not paid all five five insurance payments to employees; every 10 companies have three software outsourcing and government projects; there is at least 1 per 10 The company wage arrears. In fact, this figure is no exaggeration, especially in second-tier cities small businesses, many companies do not pay the housing fund to employees, employees want to buy a house only to find agents to pay separately. The basic welfare system have yet difficult to complete, not to mention the year-end awards, prizes like the project, which completely depends on the boss's mood and "values" of the.
A small number of "real" Internet companies
In addition to Hangzhou, Chengdu these new tier cities, second-tier cities other handful of Internet companies, because the Internet company itself has a cluster effect, relatively large Internet companies gathered will attract more Internet companies to join, mostly second-tier cities lack the local the leading Internet companies, it is difficult to introduce the field of large Internet companies settled. In the scene of the so-called second-tier cities most Internet companies also are in fact solve software and services, in the form of a lot of projects to do is really very little to do Internet products.
To accept the salary on a relatively large gap
On the salary to accept a large gap, and some even face wage cut, especially from large enterprise back-end talent, if there is no corresponding local talent introduction policy on treatment it is difficult to get a satisfactory level In fact the more high-end talent this gap will be greater. Of course, prices will be lower in some second-tier cities, the level of consumption in fact, and front-line gap is not large, so if you can accept the need for change in the treatment under a comprehensive assessment in the choice.
Outstanding talent shortage Internet
Before seeing a company published online complaints: they dug 3 months back operations director working in Beijing, spent nearly 50,000 executive search fees but less than six months and ran back to Beijing. Examples of such side also really a lot, they can not adapt not only the gap in treatment, the company's overall atmosphere, way of doing things, coworkers and so there may be deviations in and they expected. Rapid iteration of Internet products is no doubt that people can not be ignored, if a good graduates want to enter this industry, I might also advised him to go to the front line of the Internet companies to see, at least he will have more choices.
You need more soft skills
Many people say that life is very comfortable second-tier cities, it is not true here in order to have a good career, you need to have more soft skills. Now that really do practical products and technologies drive (there is no technology-driven companies in the world) companies rarely, then the company's survival would need to spend more time to take care of the various relationships get more projects, this process Do not think that only the market behavior of staff, as technology managers also need to deeply involved in this process, you need to understand clearly the needs of users in advance, ready to project program, before the user wants. You need to learn to face the user learn to communicate, and most of the users are from the B-side and the government, and do not think this is just the work product manager.
Here the pace is really no first-tier cities so fast, no 24-hour oncall as large Internet companies do, and was even a serial killer call while on leave, in fact, work in large Internet companies to write the code no more tired, mainly from the spiritual pressure. The second-tier cities is difficult to come across a huge number of users scenes flow naturally not much, compared to the pressure on the developers spiritual level a lot less.
Here is easier to achieve WLB (work life balance), there is no rhythm of tension, fear the Internet 996 and 007 people have been dominated here rarely appreciate, it can put more time to devote to family and life, and this is many middle-aged people willing to struggle to Internet hair fall and the pursuit of living conditions.
Development of the Internet to break the geographical constraints, but also let people compete for the country of return to second-tier cities development is not sacrifice the long corner, you also face competition from first-tier cities of Internet talent, if just for the sake of ease in the job market will eventually loss of competitiveness.
Concerted efforts
All major breakthrough in the technology industry are inseparable from the joint efforts of many people.
To add a function to the iPhone application, front-end engineers, user experience designers and graphic designers must work with a team of network security experts, developers, and back-end iOS developers. In other words, today's engineers know how good cooperation and communication with others. However, we are still training too many programmers prefer to work alone
Although the majority owner of emphasis on basic "soft skills" even more than the professional university, and hiring managers in the recruitment of computer science students, but also that communication and problem solving skills are the top five factors to consider.
When we told each student's individual success or failure when only important, it means that we train them to become competent technology, lack of cooperation of programmers. We need to cultivate not consider himself a "lone wolf" programmer. Technology industry more need for such talent.
