I’ve been working for five or six years now; looking back. . . . . .

It’s pretty much the same, but I work for a foreign company! It’s been almost five years at this job now! I often feel that despite having worked for so long, I still don’t have any truly impressive skills or anything, which is really worrying!

It’s not easy to work in either state-owned or foreign companies. I hope everyone will share their experiences more! :handshake

In the current financial crisis, having skills is what provides security. I’ve only been working for five or six years; I’m still young. I should hurry up and learn something so as not to waste my potential!

Confusion and despair often accompany us, but I tell myself every day: I must take proactive action to face each day. But reality still tells us that I don’t have any skills I can show off at the moment. Ah~~~~~! More effort is still needed. Although I am still seen by my colleagues as an FQ, as a person who is positive and upbeat, that sense of unease makes me feel constantly worried.

I’ve been at it for 8 years, but I’m still struggling; I don’t have any experience at all! I’m getting older and older; I’m scared of myself! ! ! ! I’m extremely scared! !

It’s really tough in private companies; it’s impossible to stay there without struggling

I haven’t graduated yet, but I’ll be graduating soon; I’ve got a work visa. I’m not sure what the future will hold, but as long as I stay determined, I think there shouldn’t be any problems.

Me too; it’s been almost 5 years since I graduated, and looking back, it’s terrifying

In private companies, there are no projects these days; to be honest, I don’t even dare to think about it

Actually, I could have joined a state-owned enterprise, but I was afraid of just drifting through my days there; on the first day of work I would already know that this is how it would be for the rest of my life! So I gave up after a long time! But now, since I haven’t yet gone through the trial period at the Taiwanese company, I still feel uncertain; who knows what the future holds! The path is right under my feet, but I can’t find the direction!

I have worked for three years in a private company. It feels like there’s still a lot to learn*, such as further improving my skills and pursuing higher education; these are the goals for the next steps. What the original poster said about not knowing anything is probably relative; after all, you have 5.6 years of experience, so you’re quite skilled.

I wonder what kind of companies the people upstairs work for and what jobs they do. But I’d like to talk about my feelings over the past two years since graduating! People might think that those working in the oil industry won’t lose their jobs; after all, such state-owned enterprises are considered to offer stable employment. But ever since I started working there, I’ve often wondered what I would do if the company faced difficulties and had to lay off employees ? ? There is an old saying: Plan ahead, and you will succeed; fail to plan, and you will fail! ! With this mindset, I feel that I have never stopped learning*. Of course, there are various ways to learn*. At first, I practiced on construction sites by comparing the blueprints with the actual objects, identifying the equipment, understanding the production processes, and recognizing the problems that arise during construction. Half a year later, I was lucky enough to be transferred to a design institute; at that time, I didn’t know how to draw yet! ! ! ! Then I rushed to learn CAD, using the software. Next, it involves following the master to the construction site, learning the standards, and gradually getting involved in the project work. I’ve been working at full speed for a whole year, often putting in extra hours day and night. Although I’m still far from being able to do actual design work, I believe that with a serious attitude towards learning and continuous effort, I will become more competent and feel more confident!

I’ve also been working for five or six years now, and looking back, I think I’ve accomplished just two things: getting married and obtaining a mid-level professional title. I often think about what the old man said about success: success means doing what needs to be done at the right time. So when thinking about the future, things like having children or defending a graduate thesis while still working – each of these seems to push one to take action, but one no longer has the enthusiasm for it. I haven’t thought about words like ideals and dreams in a long time.

I’ve been working for nine years, and I’m still learning*. . .

I’ve only been working at a state-owned enterprise for a year now, and I share the same thoughts – I don’t want to go on like this for the rest of my life

I’m the same; we’re companions on this journey. When I first arrived, I was involved in the civil construction work for new projects, followed by installation and commissioning tasks – I spent 2 years doing that. Then I worked on shift rotations related to equipment operation for 1 year, and after that I worked in a production technology role for 1 year. Now I’m back on a new project; it’s been a full cycle.

There is indeed a similar feeling. I have been working for 10 years; the first half of that time was spent in state-owned enterprises, and the second half in foreign companies. I have worked for four different companies, in industries that were somewhat different from each other. I feel like I haven’t gained much – there hasn’t been much progress in terms of my professional skills; at most, I’ve acquired some experience in work procedures and methods.

What DANGLI456 said upstairs makes a lot of sense. In fact, it’s easy for people to develop limited ways of thinking in a particular environment, and humans naturally tend to find excuses for their difficulties or inaction. The fear that arises after several years is simply a consequence of that. To be honest, everyone goes through difficult times; when faced with challenges, one should take the initiative to find solutions. As we often say, some people are those who create opportunities. When I worked at a state-owned enterprise, I had to work in three shifts, with hardly any time for rest. I was often called upon by my supervisors to cover for other employees, and my job involved a lot of physical labor – it was quite demanding. My monthly salary was just over 200. The classmates who went to the factory with me were in charge of operating computers; their working conditions were good, and their salary was over 500. I wasn’t discouraged; I studied hard, reading various technical and management books. A year later, I became a team leader, then a technician, an assistant engineer, and finally an engineer. Last year, I even applied for 2 **patents in my spare time. I’m not feeling proud at all – I was born in the 1980s. I just hope that those who are in a similar situation to me can encourage each other and work hard together, okay?
