After graduation, he joined what was claimed to be one of the world’s top 500 companies, where he worked as an operator for one year and two months. Actually, at that time, the workshop did pay some attention to us college graduates. However, the schedule involving three shifts with two rotations per day was extremely exhausting. The Spring Festival in 2013 was the only time in recent years that I didn’t go home. Moreover, during the first half of that time, I went through a breakup due to issues with my work environment and other reasons, which made me think about leaving. I quit my job at the end of September and arrived in Beijing on October 1, 2013. I didn’t plan to settle there at first; it was just that some family members lived there, so I went to local job fairs as well. I also kept looking for jobs online throughout that time. However, reality is truly cruel; one year of work experience after graduation doesn’t make much difference from that of a fresh graduate, and sometimes companies prefer fresh graduates. After picking and choosing, nothing suitable was found, so it was postponed until going home for the New Year. The beginning of 2014 was fairly smooth; in March I went to a small engineering company. Previously, I also intended to enter the design field, but once I got there I found it quite different from what I had imagined – it involved mainly routine diagnostics and didn’t require much technical skill. At that time I was impatient and overconfident; I thought such tasks had little future potential as they involved nothing more than copying and pasting. So, two years after graduating in July 2014, I quit my job again without a new one. . . Soon September arrived, and I joined this small technology company; the salary there was really low. The pressure at that time wasn’t too great; I just wanted to find a job to settle down and gain some experience in the chemical industry. I want to change jobs now, but the industry is in a downturn. I won’t change jobs; I feel like I can’t learn much from my current job, it’s not particularly busy every day, and my salary hasn’t increased much at all – it’s a bit of a waste of time. The OP comes from a rural area; his brother got married last year, and the family’s finances are already pretty strained. I still have to save money in order to find a girlfriend and get married as well – the pressure is really huge. . .
