Shanghai headhunter for 3 years, nearly 4 years to the front end now. A passer-by πΆ β οΈ
The impact and aftertaste of headhunting on me
Headhunter is a businessman, key skills and fundamental: communication, high posture and perspective to watch the ups and downs of an industry to accumulate and integrate industry information, less than half of the headhunter can give us, we radish himself some reasonable and favorable suggestions.
But a lot of it is for business.
In short, for a persistent me, after all, is not love. You may be tired of juggling, maintaining relationships with candidates and clients, trying to please them in all directions, gathering information from all over the place. The good thing is that there are many activities in headhunting career and circle in Shanghai. All kinds of sharing meetings are not limited to technology sharing, new things sharing, headhunting sharing and so on. And Shanghai xiaozi life edification, also saw a lot of candidates, coffee βοΈ, dining, listening to the big news small news of different companies, in short, quite colorful, in the contempt of the low-end of the kind of colorful, after all, also just graduated at that time, hey
And then. – The front end
I decided to turn around and go back to my college major and became a development technology professional that headhunters were looking for every day.
Too much probing why: because the personal fortune did not taste the good of an industry, is not eliminated, and certainly not successful. Not one way to go black, perhaps their own good or some energy can be better in other places to play to achieve.
My pressure and goals
pressure
- This is starting from scratch, the previous professional networking was almost abandoned.
- I have to face the selection of the market, a change of career is not early, a young white in IT. People always ask why, the question of personal technical ability, learning ability.
- A period of income gap.
The target
- Have a job, a front end job, a job that makes sense and promotes me.
- The salary is the same as before the change.
It’s never easy. For the first time, I think of the operation path of transformation learning.
About the learning path, a little review and summary to share after 3-4 years:
Learning platform, here is not nominated, personally feel that the benefit is general. Although signing up for classes is necessary for most people.
The advice that can be given is
Books: The first time ask different friends to recommend: HeadFirst series (I feel too simple), little Red Book… CSS guide, NodeJS in a nutshell..
Β· Entities should find more friends in the circle and listen to more companies to decide.
Β· Online platform: MOOC, Open Class Bar, Qomolangma – front-end professional training, Pull education – New generation bar. Both offer free and paid courses. I benefited a lot from moOCs.
Community, forum, blog, BIG V’s blog, Github. Of course, here is also the emphasis on the nuggets of principal, in the second half of this year’s personal interview to a great help, during the interview to read nearly 1000 articles. # My Story with the Nuggets
Official documents. (Some people just don’t read documents, π€·βοΈ)
Algorithm: brush LeetCode, some with GIF demonstration, teacher summary of ideas may be better, deepen the impression.

Practice, code, and accumulate project experience. Have a summary.
now
Came to a medium-sized company bar, currently adapt to and feel ok.
Technical status: I have been writing react+ TS on vUE stack for one or two months, and it has been online.
Personal lazy cancer is quite a lot, and the heart of the tiger, can only daily push themselves.
Supplement, the above period completed the October pregnancy, the current lovely baby one year old more # sun baby, usually will try to spare time to accompany the child π, she is not easy in my life that gentle, although the child itself is not easy.
The interview summary
I returned to work a few months after my maternity leave, March 12, 201. And certainly not as big a raise as they should have been. In a low voice, how much of this is the oppression of women bearing discrimination, aggravating the frustrations of women in the workplace. Thank you very much, though! Including my Leader. Thank you!
The results of
Yes, I had a code gap of 5 months. In the fifth month after I returned to my post, I finally got two good offers and joined a new company. It took about 3 months for the interview preparation and interview. Thanksgiving, more thanks to the conscientious work & study, after work every day back milk/back home to feed, occasionally also run to interview efforts of their own (although in fact are not what, also far from enough efforts πͺ). More cherish the present work and L to my certain recognition!
setbacks
In fact, there were too many technical questions that were not answered well, a greater awareness of my gap, a recognition of the market requirements for my skills of the same qualifications, and even a change of career based prejudice and a more critical view of me, the potential concern and bargaining for a mother who has not finished nursing, the invisible reduction of opportunities. All these help me to know technically my own shortcomings, and the impact of the following timing planning, requirements and efforts on my mother’s identity, since the social welfare or equality has not reached this stage, it doesn’t matter, and such a pattern of companies and interviewers have no fate is also good. It doesn’t affect me!
All the way, in fact, every step of the fear.
Summary of personal condition stage
Neither good nor bad. The technical equivalent is probably in the top 4/10. In terms of life, compared to the colorful and social aspects of headhunting, programmers do not have to do as much networking and frequent intensive communication conversations. It feels good, too, to have more time under control and to be on my own, to focus on improving a skill. Of course you could have been a headhunter and focused on other people. Although the programmer as a whole is really dull, makeup is simple, haha… For example, I rarely put foundation on my eyebrows. The good thing is that the mind and the relationships are a little bit simpler, which is what I want, where there’s no sense of superiority or pressure, where everybody comes together with technology.
