Preface

Why did you do the test / Developers ？

Xiao Hu ：
As an Internet company HR, Recently, I found that my interviewers seem to be more and more similar .

“ Why did you choose to do XX test / Development Engineer ？”

The person opposite was obviously stunned , It seems that I am stupid to ask this question .

Then we give and the previous 、 The same answer from the previous interviewer ： The Internet is the general trend , Good prospects for development .

I've heard all the same answers , Sometimes when I ask this question, I feel like a mentor on the good voice of China , Sitting in a chair that can turn around , Be earnest and kind to the students ：“ Come on , Say your dream .”

The opposite student is about to use his already skilled acting skills , Tell me the subtext by using the rotten routine ：“ Because I want more money .”

Although the foreground is wrapped 、 Development and a series of icing , In case of conflict between platform and salary , I found that more programmers still choose salary and put their long-term development in the second place .

This is no longer a time when people are ashamed to talk about money , We all prefer to stand on the table for clearly priced transactions . I think this kind of communication saves time and cost , It reduces your speculation about coming and going , It is the inevitable result of the efficient operation of modern society .

For technicians , compensation , In addition to ensuring the basic needs of life , It is also an evaluation standard to prove your technical level , But on a technical level , Now, Internet start-ups are emerging and dying crazily , This evaluation standard is being distorted .

Campus interviews seem to be more suitable for such topics , When a table is full of students , When asked what they think of the choice of being a programmer , They gave a variety of reasons ：

“ My parents supported me in doing this , Think this is a trend .”

“ My cousin does this , He is the best in our village .”

“ My parents asked me to come out and have a try , If you fail, go back , They set me up for work .”

“ I'm not sure , My friends do this , I came .”

Most of the answers include the privilege of being young —— confused .

To see more , I will gradually know , There are not so many career choices at first. Why , When I first graduated , College students everywhere , It seems that there are a lot of enterprises recruited by the school , But considering the region , industry , Position , After salary , In fact, there are so few choices left for everyone , It was a complete war , The publicity meeting is like a hypermarket where everyone can't wait to put a price on their head .

For small start-ups with no other guarantee , Personnel of the same technical level , Will receive a higher salary than a large company （ Top Internet companies , Such as BAT With the exception of ）, Because this part of the higher salary , It's not an endorsement of technology , It is the compensation for the high risk that the company will collapse at any time .

And for the job seekers who are in it , Especially the technicians who are involved in mechanical programming , Will very much recognize the salary = Evaluation criteria for technical level , Thus, it is difficult to accurately position your own technology .

For the candidates who only pay attention to salary and keep job hopping, but their technical level is improved very little , I don't quite understand , So-called “ It has a bright future ” What is it for them . I guess what they say is a good prospect , There are just too many entrepreneurial Internet companies , The market is in short supply .

about “ Like it or not ”、“ How to develop ”、“ Why choose ” Questions like this , For ordinary fresh graduates , Let them say why they came , It's a little difficult .

Someone asked me. , The question you asked , Is there a standard answer you want ？

I thought about , From a personal point of view , I may be more inclined to hear that the answer given by the interviewer is to love the job itself and give some views on the industry and their own career planning .

Here's what I did 2022 The most complete software testing engineer in the year learned the knowledge architecture diagram

Nine 、 summary

I indulge my emotions , Indulge my thoughts , Never indulge my life , I can accept failure, but I can't accept that I have never struggled .

No one is born to like hard work and running , But the rules of existence are so cruel , move forward , or you 'll fall behind , You can't work hard , You can only do nothing ！
