Which one to choose
Thread Content
In these days when the talent market is also in a downturn due to the economic crisis, I have resigned. I have two options, and I would appreciate it if you could help me analyze them: 1) Join a central state-owned enterprise where there is no specific position available but the salary is decent; 2) Join a private company (a listed company) where the position is high-ranking and the salary is good. How should I make my choice?
I want to know the reason you resigned! Working in central state-owned enterprises offers comfort, but it drains one’s passion ； Private companies offer good salaries, but the pressure is high! If it’s to build a career, of course choose 2! It’s pressure that gives us motivation! If it’s just a bad mood, it’s recommended to take some time off.
The way forward depends entirely on how an individual plans their actions. I won’t tell you where to go; I just want to say that I’m currently working in a state-owned enterprise. It’s comfortable, but it has taken away my passion from the past, as well as my ability to innovate. There’s no sense of personal initiative anymore – one simply follows procedures mechanically； Furthermore, there would be too many of them; there are also too many activities that do not create value.
It needs to be thought through carefully; one can’t just focus on the immediate present!
If the building owner is ambitious, I would say that I wouldn’t go at all. There is a saying that goes, “Rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox,” meaning it is better to be in a leading position rather than in a subordinate one. Because although working for large companies has its advantages, the opportunities for career growth are limited there; there are many talented people. However, in the long run, it can be a good way to gain experience and learn from their management techniques. Then find a small company to work for; this way you’ll have more room for growth and opportunities to prove yourself. You can quickly reach a relatively important position, and after working there for a few years and gaining some experience, if you have the courage, you can take the risk and start your own business. If you want a stable income, it’s better to work for a large state-owned enterprise.
You should see what kind of people they are – whether they prefer to start their own business or go to private companies (listed companies) with higher positions and better salaries
If you want comfort, go to a state-owned enterprise; if you want to achieve growth, then work hard in a private enterprise! I suggest the original poster go to a private company!
Choose 2. In the future, **private enterprises will be vigorously developed; this is an inevitable trend.
