Recently, when browsing some forums , I found the story of a middle-aged tester's naked words , After reading it, it's worth reflecting on , I feel I can have a chat .

Preface

Let's introduce the basic information first ： At present, I am in a small start-up company , For three years , The salary is average , I worked in a medium-sized listed company for three years , Because I want to get a raise, I jumped into this small company .

Just a year ago , Company year end summary , The boss of the company will talk to each employee with the leaders of each group . When the interview comes , The company promises to adjust salary several times a year , There are also project bonuses , For three years , I have adjusted my salary twice , I didn't see any bonus for the project , Work in one or two weeks , He thought that the development of the Internet has not been very good in recent years , If not, there will be No .

Company to work , Let's not talk about ninety-six , At least nine hours a day , Seamless switching between projects .

Not to mention working overtime at ordinary times , Occasionally added at the end of the year 12 spot , One or two weeks is not enough , Even the team leader asked him to work overtime at home on weekends . Of course, in addition to overtime too late to claim a taxi , Overtime is free , Yes , No subsidy .

So he resigned naked at the beginning of this year …

Ability is no problem , Be confident in your skills , Want to seek better development , Work and life can be balanced .

But the last time The software test interview made him very tired , I've been beaten to pieces by the interviewer ……

He may not have thought of it himself , I will fall into such an embarrassing position in the interview . Most of the techniques asked by the interviewer have been used , I just don't know how to describe … There will be an interview later 10 companies , Only one received offer, The salary is lower than that of the last company 3k, So more confused .

therefore , Do you dare to say it naked ？

Do you want to resign , You have to look at yourself ：

1、 Why resign ？ Not happy at work ？ Can't learn ？ Have a better plan and are willing to work for it ？

2、 What do you want to do after you resign ？ If you don't think about it well , Then please don't think about it after you resign , believe me , You can easily fall into a vicious circle of anxiety or laziness , Then you have to find a job , Want to resign again , Once again, ~~~ A vicious cycle

3、 Any industry , If you're really good , Will find , When the whole industry is in a downturn, you are still profitable , When the whole industry is in a bull market, there are still bears in a mess . therefore , Don't judge everyone as bad as the whole , Don't generalize , Of course, the overall development cannot be measured by the average level .

therefore , I don't want to answer why it's best not to say naked words , I just want to say , Resign or not , Ask yourself the above questions , Think about it , Just make your own decision , To determine the , Just try to do it , Don't care whether others say you're right or wrong . Of course , Easy to say , It's hard to do .

If you think your current job is not satisfactory , Want to resign but dare not , The best way is to make technical reserves in advance , Save against a rainy day . If you've been at work curd boy, Then you must find a way to break through in your spare time ： Watch others share 、 Look at the project 、 Do it yourself 、 Read more classic books , These are breakthrough methods .

For example, if you want a high salary, you must know the following points ：

Understand the fundamentals of automated testing , understand Appium operation , Element localization 、 operation 、 wait for 、 Sliding, etc , I delve PO、unittest、yaml、 The configuration file 、 Test report, etc , Based on Keyword Driven 、Pytest and jenkins Continuous integration complete App Test framework design and development 、 Testing tools 、 For example, performance testing tools loadrunner, Automated test tool selenium、Appium.

In fact, these knowledge abilities can be obtained by reading materials while working . Here I also recommend a software testing related resource that I collate ： I put the knowledge often used in my work （ Including basic knowledge 、Linux necessary 、Shell、 The principles of the Internet 、Mysql database 、 Special topic of bag capturing tools 、 Interface testing tool 、 Test advanced -Python Programming 、Web automated testing 、APP automated testing 、 Interface automation testing 、 Testing advanced continuous integration 、 Test architecture development test framework 、 Performance testing 、 Safety test, etc. ）、 The information summary of job interview is packed here .

Learn not to fight alone , It's best to keep warm , Achieve each other and grow together , The effect of mass effect is very powerful , Let's learn together , Punch in together , Will be more motivated to learn , And you can stick to it .

The end of the

Naked words do have certain risks , Although not recommended , But there is nothing wrong with choosing naked words , It's possible that your previous job was really painful , You really want to resign and adjust yourself , Find a more suitable job in the future , It is estimated that if you choose again, you may choose naked words .

In fact, age is really out of control , Whatever you do , Age will continue to grow , This is fair to everyone . Maybe someone 40+ I will still quit naked to find a job , So be relieved , Don't worry too much , Concentrate on finding your next job . As long as you're good enough , Work will take the initiative to find you .
