preface
“Live up to the time, the creation of non-stop, this article is participating in 2021 year-end summary essay competition”
Imperceptibly has stopped more than half a year, during the period received a lot of small partners to urge more, but really too busy really can not take out the time, in this to pay attention to my small partners lose a is not, I try to return as soon as possible 😄
Back to the subject, 2021 can be said to be the most abundant year in my life. I entered the big factory I dream of, bought the first car in my life, and took wedding photos with my dear Teacher Zhao… So take this opportunity to share and document a colorful year
A leisurely first half of the year
At the end of 20 years, I went from Shanghai to Beijing without returning after three and a half years with my luggage, just to end the long-distance love with Teacher Zhao. My work was also very smooth, and I joined a 965 education company almost seamlessly.
On life:
Qinhuangdao sea is really beautiful, long so big for the first time to see the real meaning of the sea, barefoot on the beach dream finally come true ~ ~
Conveniently took a wedding photo, again amway a wave of Qinhuangdao sea ~
With a certain amount of savings, I bought my first car. Originally planned to buy Honda Accord, but just caught up with the chip shortage need to increase the price of 1W to buy, finally decided to go next door to choose Nissan Teana
About technology:
Because at ordinary times very at leisure, so there is plenty of time to improve yourself, half year output for six blog, though not every piece is carefully polished nearly a month of output, therefore also harvest a lot of reading and attention, the nuggets to LV3 grade, making breakthrough star 1 k, heartfelt thanks to those who focus on support me, you are my motivation for progress, After all, vanity makes people progress, who does not like to be praised na 😎
I have met a group of like-minded people in various technical communities for a long time. When I encounter technical problems, I am no longer thinking about them by myself. In the process of looking for a job, I warmly help me with internal promotion and give continuous guidance
Into the giant
Company encounter ShuangJian policy in July, the whole team was disbanded, of course, this also includes almost me, but I seem to have no panic, because their target is explicit: in early 2022 to move into the metal, so this half a year I have been doing basic knowledge reserves is in a state of a preparation, plus the company left a month grace period so the in the mind has no waves
Preparation stage:
In the review stage, the algorithm still gave me a deep lesson. Due to the limited time, I could only pick about 60 simple and medium topics from the Leetcode hot list. At the beginning of the brush really quite fold yao people, a medium difficulty of the topic can ink for an afternoon, according to this speed is certainly not. Finally, I found some video solutions from STATION B, and I listened to two of them on the subway and went to work. When I understood my ideas, I immediately wrote them by myself. But learn quickly forget also fast, a lot of questions basic sleep one night forgot, but under can only review again and again, probably review to the fifth time to write out smoothly. Algorithm almost consumed 1/3 of my review time, and especially brain-burning also easy to blow up their own mentality, so want to enter the big factory algorithm this part of the preparation as early as possible, cramming is not very good…
Interview stage:
After the review, IN the middle of August, I contacted MLX and Flywith24 to push bytes and quick hand to me respectively. The bytes were hanging and the quick hand passed, but HC was locked…
After a bad start, I had to submit my resume by myself. Finally, I made an appointment for four interviews with Baidu (Two departments of Handbai and Xiaodu), Xiaomi and Didi, as well as the interview with N domestic factories. Finally, I got offers from several Chinese factories including Baidu, Xiaomi and Didi + within one month. Baidu’s side I am face the two departments small and mobile baidu, I personally is very want to join the hands of the department, especially also 102 face the interviewer (should be immediate superiors) after the talk the feeling more intense, the interview process has been asked I’m good at point at the same time also gave me a lot of guidance, and promised to me let me do my favorite after induction of architectural design, But unfortunately, When Xiaodu took the offer, he had only three offers, and each company could only send one offer, so he failed to join the department I most wanted to go to
Later, station B, which Brother Shrimp helped to promote, also contacted me for an interview. In the second interview, it was clear that it could not give me the increase I wanted, so I did not go down. Now I think it was not sweet to directly join Brother Shrimp and then WLB
After comprehensive consideration, I finally chose to join Baidu Xiaodu Business Division. Although I failed to join Baidu, I felt extremely excited. After all, the offers in my hands were all big factories, which I could hardly imagine two years ago
Author degree is 2 + 2 to rise only this, since has been worried about their degree will be CARDS, but in my current experience if the interview is generally do not card, I face the half of the domestic companies because no one brush my degree, so the degree is the same with me and wanted to come into the giant friend don’t lose heart, push technology has a bright spot as far as possible to find on opportunity is very big
Make yourself happier
On September 1st, I came to Baidu Science and Technology Park with full expectation. When I just started, I saw the five characters “Simple and reliable”, but I didn’t expect that this was the happiest day of my career in Baidu. With the deepening of the work, I found more and more don’t like the working environment and content, complete business guide everyone is busy from morning till night, constantly pull branch daily of alignment Regular home at eleven o ‘clock, less than a month to get me to bear, every night after work on the taxi in thinking: “this is looking forward to for a long time the giant?”
I’m the kind of person who’d rather take less money than be happy. Life’s too short to enjoy yourself while you can. I choose WLB doesn’t mean I don’t want to don’t want to struggle hard, but think enough spare time to have more freedom to promote their own choice, want to see this end in the third month of time I choose to look at the outside opportunity, heard Momo, zhihu rhythm is not soon, and then through various channels to contact with the two companies, luck is still empty, Finally, I successfully won these two offers
Why did you join Momo?
I was really depressed every day in Baidu. Last day, I had a barbecue with my former colleague. He said that I was haggard and old for several years. I was holding my phone in the downstairs, the wind was blowing, the interviewer’s first words were: “It should be very cold outside, otherwise you can change to a warm place, I can take it easy.” She communicated with me in such a warm tone throughout the whole process, which really touched me. At last, when talking about the offer, she took the initiative to increase my expected annual package by 25%, so I joined Momo without hesitation.
I’ve been on Momo for a while now as I write this, and I’m happy every day, surrounded by young, energetic colleagues, and in a less hectic work environment, I’m back to being that passionate boy again. During this period, I was also asked whether the psychological gap between a large factory and a factory was particularly large. But I think life’s too short to make hay while the sun shines, right?
