Make writing a habit together! This is my first day to participate in the “Gold Digging Day New Plan · April More text challenge”, click to see the details of the activity.
The introduction
March this year seems to be much colder than in previous years, the same in the Internet job market before the gold three silver has become copper three iron four, the major companies are not tightening HC is a variety of “graduation”, job-seeking students have felt the arrival of the Winter of the Internet, on-the-job students are also panic. In the Internet winter environment, whether the students have been “graduated” or on-the-job students, all need to think about how to remain invincible?
Winter is here. Who can live alone
On one day in March, there were three hot searches about “graduation” in one section of weibo, and everyone in the Internet industry was at risk. Because if top Internet companies are having a hard time, others are having an even harder time. The Internet has been heard before this year to carry out big layoffs want to be serious. Later, there was news that alibaba, Tencent, JD.com, Youzan, Didi, Mogujie and other Internet companies had their employees graduate, and some of them even graduated more than 50%. The shadow of graduation hangs over the head of every Internet industry practitioner. Why do these Internet companies seem to have agreed to the same “graduation” operation? So what happened? Let’s analyze the reasons why Internet companies graduate.
You should know that the Internet company run through truly profitable business model is not much, actually most of the companies are burn money to implement the business expansion of investors, through a variety of painting pie for financing, and then the founders or cash leave early investors in the value of peak, leave a mess and others took over, many Internet companies is such a play. In fact, the entrepreneurs who really have dreams and really want to do something big and solve a social problem are few and far between. Therefore, the Internet industry is a very money-burning industry.
In fact, most Internet companies are oriented to ordinary consumers (B2C mode). In the case of the overall economic downturn, most consumers are bound to tighten their wallets and reduce consumption to hoard enough provisions for the winter. Therefore, it is bound to cause further shrinkage of Internet business.
In addition, after the rapid development of the Internet industry for 20 years, the DOS and don ‘ts of business and innovation have been done. The development of the Internet industry business stalled, new markets and new business opportunities are fewer and fewer, like block chain in the development of this new technology is still in has not play a real business value, the stock of the business is more competitive, in the end is the aftermath of the Internet companies no longer need so many people, unless there is going to develop new business. As a result, many companies are retrenching, cutting out unprofitable marginal businesses and putting resources into their core businesses.
Through the above analysis, the Internet “graduation” has become an inevitable trend. So after analyzing the reasons for the “graduation” of Internet companies, what kind of warning do we have as practitioners? Can we be immune from such a storm? In fact, there are some issues that we need to have a deep understanding of.
1, program ape substitutability
Programmers writing code may seem arrogant, but in fact we have been officially recognized as migrant workers of the new era. Since they are migrant workers, an important characteristic of migrant workers is the strong substitutability. A few months of training and a polished resume are all it takes to land a job as a programmer. You can Spring Cloud, he can also, so in fact, the program ape work is very substitutable, unlike the financial industry, it is difficult to enter the financial industry without the endorsement of elite schools. So don’t think that just because you’re skilled, you won’t be able to get laid off. Most companies can operate without anyone. Therefore, the program ape not only needs to work hard on technology, but also needs to work hard on project management, team leadership and work style, so that he can become a compound talent, so that his competitiveness will be stronger.
2. Sense of crisis
Fix the roof when it’s sunny, not when it’s stormy. As technical students, we need to always maintain the ability to find a better paying job than the present. Even if there are no layoffs at your current company, even if the business is still growing rapidly. But who knew, who knew that Nokia, the leader of the mobile phone industry, has now disappeared?
How does a technician break a game
1. Industry level
Even the Internet, in fact, also contains a lot of businesses, so when you choose the Industry in the Internet, you should have a vision of development to choose, try to choose some core businesses. So what are the core key businesses? Take the payment industry for example. As long as transactions are involved, the payment business is inevitable, and with the development of cross-border e-commerce, there will be new business development in cross-border payment, so we can consider payment as a core business. If you want to work in the Internet industry in the future, if you graduated from a good school, you can also find a bank technology department. Advance may be attacked, retreat may be defended.
2. Personal level
(1) Change the income structure
A lot of people worry about being “graduated”, especially technical people in their thirties. How would you pay the mortgage if you really lost your job? How do you feed your family? How to support parents? The work of the program ape is very busy, all kinds of overtime to catch up with the progress. People seem to put all their time into endless work. Income from work becomes the sole source of income for most people. When problems arise at work, the immediate impact on earnings can be significant. Because our revenue structure is so homogeneous, we feel vulnerable during the winter of the industry. Imagine if you have a side business and earn a decent salary. Are you worried about getting laid off? Even if you get laid off, you need other income to make up for it. The whole person becomes more confident. So we need to constantly expand their income channels, change their income structure single problem.
(2) Don’t just focus on moves, practice your internal skills
Programmers need to constantly learn new skills to improve themselves, but it’s the underlying computer skills that really determine how far a programmer can go in terms of technology. Therefore, while learning new technologies, we need to constantly deepen the basic, underlying and core technical knowledge. Great oaks from little acorns grow. Only with a solid foundation can we build a higher edifice of knowledge.
(3) Interview every six months
The purpose of technical interview is not necessarily to find a job, but to review my current project level and whether the technical system is perfect from the perspective of others. When discussing technical details with the interviewer, IT is also a process of constantly mobilizing and applying my accumulated skills. So we need to continue through the interview, deliberate practice, and continue to summarize the gains and losses in the interview, in order to practice the interview skills. Accumulate experience through the interview, and make up for the shortcomings of their own technical knowledge, constantly refresh their own technical system, improve each part of the technology stack.
Write in the last
Every time I feel confused or tired, I will be crazy to read books, MAO Selections, tao Te Ching, tang poetry and Song poetry. When reading in the quiet of night, it seems that they are talking about life with these ancient scholars. On the one hand, they are feeling the ideological realm of these sages. On the other hand, some things that they can’t think of can be found in the works of these sages.
I hope every dreamer can realize his or her dream. If you work hard, you may not be successful, but you will be better. I wish you all the best. Finally, I would like to share a poem by Su Shi with you. I hope you can put down your mobile phone and have a good conversation with yourself and listen to your inner voice after busy day.
Linjiang Fairy – night drink Dongpo wake up drunk
Night drink Dongpo wake up drunk, return as if the night. The children’s breath thundered. Knock should not, leaning on the rod to listen to the river.
Long hate this body not I have, when forget camp? The wind is calm during the night. The boat died from then on, jianghai send the rest of his life.
