preface

Recently, the operation of the Internet workers in quick succession pushed the daily 996 on the cusp of the storm.

Although the Internet industry is still a hot and rewarding industry, many Internet users have started to look for new outlets due to the buggy lifestyle of staying up late and working hard.

Recently, on Github, there is a guide for programmers to take the exam. It has gained 7.7K star since the warehouse was created on January 2.

Why are all these young people taking the civil service exam?

The title is taken fromArticle of the same name public account

The wall outside the wall

CCTV recently released its 2020 College entrance Examination search big data report, which showed that 8 of the 10 hottest majors are related to computers.

On the one hand, the IT industry “high salary, new technology, don’t fight dad” brought increasingly fierce competition, on the other hand, the era of environmental turmoil brought severe employment environment.

Internet companies are bracing for a wave of layoffs in 2019.

According to incomplete statistics, in 2019, JD laid off 8%, Didi laid off 15%, Tencent laid off 10%, Huawei stopped social recruitment, Ali laid off Youku team, Unicom forced early retirement, Meituan (Shanghai Dianping technology department) laid off 50%…..

The ensuing outbreak of the epidemic has intensified the winter of the Internet. (It’s not just the Internet)

Internet people who want to get a foothold in the Internet industry seem to have no choice but to “roll”.

At the same time, the system’s stability and rising benefits stand in stark contrast to the increasingly convoluted Internet and the increasingly rigid civil service, with the system erecting a conspicuous wall between the two.

“I don’t want to be a tool man to be rolled in when I’m young and kicked out when I’m old.”

“If I want to make a home here, I have to maintain my current income, but what about after 35?”

More and more young people are choosing civil service as their first career after graduation due to the increasing uncertainty and insecurity.

Inside and outside the walls, the scenery is clear.

The hope of ordinary young people

I have read a discussion on zhihu about 47 million fewer people born in the 2000s than those born in the 1990s, and a template about ordinary people is impressive :(below is a simplified version)

From small to large, standard standard to go to school to read, primary school, junior middle school, high school to graduate from university, work and life.

Step by step, exactly the way society gives young people.

Maybe it’s not hard enough, maybe it’s not talented enough, so I can’t pass the double first-class exam. My job is just ordinary, and my salary is far less than the average of Zhihu.

But ask yourself, from childhood to the big, I really did not make any big mistake, did not go awry, is the teacher’s eyes of the medium students, parents eyes of the good child, typical ordinary people template.

Unfortunately, if it is just the ordinary template, to have a family and children, the pressure is not ordinary.

. (Discussion about house prices and children)

To put it bluntly, today’s young people, do not say filial piety, feedback parents, can not drag them has been very successful. (Without the help of family members, housing prices are difficult to overcome on their own.)

It is very real and heart-breaking. We are already under so much pressure and tired just to live according to the template given to ordinary people by society, not to mention being rich and expensive. It makes us think.

Why is the road of life more and more tired?

The prospect of a stable job and life under the aegis of the state seems to be reigniting young people’s hopes, compared with the choice of Internet giants offering a decent income at the expense of personal life.

At the end

We have to admit that our times have changed dramatically, and it is more important to find inner stability than stability in the workplace.

If it were you, what would you choose?
