Looking back on this journey, there have been both hardships and achievements. As a summary for this year, I’d like to take this opportunity to summarize my work and experiences over these years as well, in the hope that it can be of some help to those who have just graduated. First of all, regarding job changes, I have also had experience changing jobs myself. It seems to be a product of young people’s pursuit of novelty and beauty, combined with their dissatisfaction with the current reality. At present, at least 80% of people have such thoughts and feelings. It’s not strange or unusual for this to happen to young people who have just graduated; in fact, many feel that they won’t be satisfied with their lives if they don’t take that step. From my experience, for most people who rely on their own efforts (with the exception of those from wealthy families), things are more or less the same no matter where they go. Most people are dissatisfied with the status quo; they see that others are doing well, and their companies are successful. There are no perfect companies in the world; every company has its problems, only the types of problems vary. No matter where you are, it is most important to master the skills necessary to adapt to the company’s actual needs, and to become a key member of the team who can handle tasks on their own at least. If you don’t create value, things won’t get better anywhere. So after jumping once, I decided to stay and work hard here. I actually knew that if I had come here from the start, I would definitely have left. Looking back now, in the first few years of working in technology, there wasn’t much progress to be made; it was still a period of learning. At that time, things like professional networks, recognition by the company, and approval from colleagues all required time to develop. Also, if the company cannot see your commitment to staying here, it is impossible for them to invest heavily in your development; they are afraid of spending their money to train someone else. So I think: changing jobs is okay, but not more than three times. It’s best to jump early; waiting more than three years will result in huge losses for both the individual and the company. Learning at work*: Working is different from being in school; learning is no longer as simple as just solving problems. 1. One should learn from colleagues – those who started working at the company before oneself surely have gained experience adapting to it over the years; seeking their advice often can save a lot of trouble. II. Learn from the field* The on-site experience of those who work directly in the field cannot be acquired from books or in an office environment. It is best to be able to handle the actual operations related to one’s technical work personally, as this is highly beneficial for such work: it ensures that the processes are carried out in accordance with real-world conditions, giving one confidence, and it also helps to gain the trust of the operators. III. It is possible to learn the relevant professional textbook knowledge and standards through practical experience on-site; applying what has been learned in this way will enable one to master it better and more quickly than when studying in school. IV. In learning, one should have breadth as well as depth; one should explore a wide range of topics at the beginning, but progress should not be achieved in every area. No one can master all knowledge; by focusing on one or two areas for in-depth study, it is possible to achieve results that benefit both oneself and others, which is advantageous for both the individual and the company. It is absolutely unacceptable to try to know everything without mastering any particular area. One should not be too concerned about money; focus on doing the work first and talk about money later. In the long run, this approach will not result in any losses, especially for those of us who have knowledge and qualifications. Pay attention to obtaining various certificates and professional titles; in an environment like China, this is still necessary. I didn’t pay enough attention to this over the past few years, and it cost me a lot. Although it shouldn’t be all appearance with nothing of substance inside, it also shouldn’t be completely devoid of any decoration on the outside. The above are some insights gained from my several years of work; they may not be suitable for everyone. Please use them as a reference, and I would be honored if they prove helpful.
