Work experience of a hard pressed programmer

   For the reason of looking for a job for more than a month , I haven't updated the technology blog for more than a month . This blog is not about technology , It's my thoughts about finding a job for more than a month and some about Android Thinking of development .

My educational background and work experience

   First of all, let's talk about my personal background , I'm an undergraduate 2020 year 7 I graduated in September , So far, I have worked for two years . I was in 2017 In the year , That is when I was a sophomore java Language , Probably 2018 I came into contact with android, Then start learning and getting started by yourself android. stay 2018 In the year , Because personal thinking is childish , And that time really android It seems that the form is also very good , Plus I also like doing app, So I decided to engage in android Related work .

   At that time, find a job Android My work is really not difficult , stay 2019 At the end of the year , I already have a company offer 了 , At that time, there was no special idea , Think about it offer Just make do with it first , add 2019 The epidemic happened at the end of the year , I didn't prepare for the interview of spring recruitment at home , I went to that company , And worked there for a year and a half . This is my first job , To be honest, I'm still quite satisfied with my first job . Both technical growth and project management growth have reached my expectations . This company is still a relatively large company , It belongs to a manufacturing factory , His shortcoming is that he doesn't give much money , A lot of work , There are performance tasks every month , It can be stressful , The work intensity of several project teams I work in is also very high . After working there for a year and a half , I jumped ship . I am a 2021 year 9 Prepare for the interview in May , Then there are those who have taken several companies offer But they are not very satisfied , Thinking about 2022 Spring dance again . however 11 Month of the month , When I plan to stop dancing for the time being , I casually met a medium-sized factory in Guangzhou , Then I got a copy of this company offer. Then I changed my job .

  2021 year 11 At the end of the month , I joined my second company , To be honest, this company is quite good . Not a lot of life , And all kinds of systems are humanized , I also like the atmosphere of this company . And after I entered the company , The project team also won various innovation awards of the company , Everything is so beautiful , I want to stay in this company for a few years to precipitate technology and experience . Because the work intensity is not high , I usually update my blog when I am free , Learned a lot of new technologies , Wrote a lot of blogs . When free, I go to the gym to roll iron , swimming , Cook by yourself on weekends . At that time I was thinking , This should be a balance between life and work in the programmer's world . But good days are always short , here we are 2022 year 3 month , The situation is not quite right , There is no iteration task , The product didn't have a meeting , The technical director didn't have a meeting . There is no product demand , We have nothing to do in the company all day long . And all kinds of information about layoffs are also coming , Information about layoffs from major factories on the Internet is also pouring in , I understand that the general environment of the Internet has indeed deteriorated this year . After twoorthree months without any demand , I decided to quit , Though not offer. Because the longer I stay here , The more unfavorable it is to my growth and career planning , So I was there 2022 year 5 Resigned in January . Then I started my job search for more than a month .

More than a month of job search

   At first, I had no pressure to find a job , After all, it's not easy to find a job by yourself ？ And I'm still young , So in the first week, I slowly and casually cast , But a week later, something went wrong . Because in boss There is no feedback on many of them , At this time, I realized that I couldn't find it slowly , So I began to make crazy investment , This is what I have been doing for more than a month boss Communication and resume Submission on , It doesn't include the communication between internal promotion and headhunter .

   In the second week of , Due to its own overseas investment strategy , The situation has improved significantly , There are many interview opportunities , Also met some companies , But I'm still not very satisfied , So they all refused , Including some metauniverses ,VR A hot company .

   After two weeks of interviews , I found that I didn't really want to do something ,android There is not so much demand on the application side , And the entry threshold is very low , Any college student can easily get started . and android The new technology of is updating at an unprecedented speed , It seems that there are endless skills . For example ,rxjava What awesome technology it was before , Now? ？ Coroutines and flow Can completely replace . from mvp To mvvm Until then mvi, The update speed of the framework is getting faster and faster . also compose, It's not easy for you to master some complex customization view and viewgroup, In the end, it was found that these technologies were about to be eliminated . Is the learning cost a little too high ？ So after thinking about the above problems , I think I may need to change direction , It's not that we don't want to be an application end , Because the application side is still something I like . Instead, you need to specialize in lower level technology , such as framework Layer technology , For example, some audio and video technologies . So with the above goals , I basically determined the company , Car companies , Handset makers , Or audio and video technology , Or big factories framework Related positions . Because car companies and mobile phone manufacturers are easy for you to contact framework Technical .

   In the third week , I got some good ones offer, There is a mobile phone manufacturer in Shanghai , I had a good chat with the technical director , But he refused , Because I don't want to develop for the time being after considering family factors . There is another company in Huizhou , Do basic application , There are also many opportunities to access the underlying knowledge , But because the location is not a big city , So I still refused . With the above offer It also gives me great confidence , Then I continue to narrow the scope of my job search in Guangzhou , The two cities of Shenzhen . Tell the truth , There are really few Internet in Guangzhou , Plus this year's Guangzhou Netease HC period , Tencent is layoffs , So there are basically no opportunities for big companies , The happy gathering system basically has no HC, And Xiao Peng basically requires 3 More than years of working experience , Guangzhou byte didn't pass the interview , So I can only invest in some small companies in Guangzhou , If you are in Shenzhen, you will invest in some medium and large factories . But this year's situation is not optimistic , In addition, many companies require 3 To 5 Years of service , The probability of my resume being brushed is relatively high .

   The fourth week , It's been a month since I applied for a job , I have a small company in Guangzhou offer, It's for audio and video , With my two years' work experience , The monthly salary is ok , But there is no year-end bonus , So I refused . In Shenzhen, there is a company doing yuancosmos , End of face hr After the noodles , Didn't get this company's offer. This also shows that this year hr There are indeed many choices . There is also a company in Shenzhen , Make audio and video , It should be the top audio and video service provider in China , It's also the end of the noodles hr after , Then say to reply to me in two days , Two days later ,hr Tell me you want me to wait , Because there is another candidate in the interview process , She hopes to wait until another person finishes the interview before making a choice . I didn't encounter this kind of situation in the previous interview , This also shows that , The Internet environment this year is not optimistic .

   Week 5 , This is my last week of job search , A small and medium-sized game company in Guangzhou , To be honest, my treatment is ok , I was offered the position of manager candidate offer, I'm also quite satisfied with , Just take this offer, But other benefits are average . Then I'm still preparing for other interviews . A listed freight company also passed the interview , But when talking about salary, I refused this without negotiation offer. But this hr Come to me again a few days later , Ask me if I want to reconsider what is benchmarking 2020 The salary of graduates in the company , I can only drive so much . What else to say, because I have two years of work experience , And it's not 985,211, Has been paid according to the highest salary , I hope I'll think about it again . I finally refused . Finally, I was pushed down by my former colleagues , Interviewed a car company in Guangzhou , And the interview passed . The company is mainly engaged in the new energy vehicle industry , And GAC endorsement , And it has just been established , I think there is a lot of room for development , So I finally chose the car industry , Finally rejected that small and medium-sized game company .

   The above is my job search path for more than a month , The middle is very bumpy , There will be insomnia because of not receiving the message , You need to pay attention to the messages on your mobile phone all the time , The spirit is also quite nervous .

reflection

   This interview for more than a month , I also thought a lot about it , It's about Android Develop and own career planning .Android I think the bonus period of development is over , Yes Android The requirements of developers are getting higher and higher . How to improve yourself in Android The core competitiveness of development is the key . So what is the core competitiveness ？ Is it a new technology that is constantly updated ？ Yes or no. . yes , It refers to the support of these new technologies , Your probability of passing the interview will be higher , It will improve efficiency in the current existing development . No , It means that these new technologies will eventually be replaced by future new technologies . Then you can only keep learning, keep learning , Isn't this continuous learning the core competitiveness ？ But think about , This constant learning of new technologies costs , Now young people like me , The cost of learning is very low , Acceptable , But in the future ？ If 40 After the age of , You are also learning new technologies on the application side , Do you still have so much energy ？ So you and 25 Are there any advantages compared with people aged 10 ？ I think many things are essential , You need to understand the essence , In order to better grasp the appearance , for example android application layer , Its essence , I feel that framework Layer and the linux System , Understand these , Isn't it our core competitiveness ？ So my own career planning is to accumulate technology and development experience on the application side first , I usually have time to learn more framework Layer knowledge and linux Knowledge , For the future framework Prepare for job transfer .

   The above is my thinking for more than a month , Mutual encouragement ！！！
