feel so stupid

A few days ago, a WeChat friend came to chat with me.

He worked in a company for more than 4 years, but there was basically no technical improvement in the past four years, and he did some miscellaneous things. The core technology is inThe original chip factory, and the software SDK is also written by others. What he can do is to connect with customers, simply modify and modify them, and then send software packages to customers.

"Sometimes work is not always from innovation, and some work is like this. We see a lot of work that we think is high-end, that is because we have no contact and no opportunity to realizeFuck, if there is such an opportunity, it's actually not too difficult."

The most important thing is that he does not hold shares, and his salary has not increased in the past four years. Now he wants to go out to find a job, and suddenly finds that he is most proud of it now.It's his own education.

I believe that many people should feel the same way and make a choice, but this choice may not be their original intention.

For example, if you want to change jobs, the salary given by the other party is average, and the salary may be reduced, but the other party will say that there will be a stock holding plan in the future, and their work will be more flexible, and then doThe direction of things is also very potential - but TMD wages are not going to go up by a penny, because they want to put the money in more useful places, and you are going to do something that can change the world, if youIf you don't go, you must have missed the chance to change your destiny. You are definitely not friends enough...

I have met many, many engineers, including myself. Compared with other people in the society, I think things are still a lot shallower, so when I first entered the society, I would be motivated and feel myself as an engineer.noble person.But society is often not like this. When you go to work, you have to work, you have to sweat, and you have to fix the damn bugs and needs.

But a lot of people go to work not to do things, but to make people. They need to get people to do things for them. If you are a young and fledgling young man, it is easy to get them done.

Many times, we think that it is our skills that impress the other party, and our sincerity that impresses the other party, but this may not be true, it may be our age that impresses the other party, or our salary requirements that impress the other party.

So what?

Increase rationality and reduce emotionality!

One of my classmates, we graduated in 4 years of college, and he studied for 6 years because he didn't take enough credits.

But after graduating, he quickly found his own direction, engaging in C++ and making games. In recent years, he has changed jobs several times, but he has been making games and developing C++.Of course, there were some other opportunities to come to him, and he turned it down, he was firm in his direction.

We may encounter an extra salary of 1,000 or 2,000 yuan due to a shortage of people in a certain position, but for us, we need to re-learn knowledge in a certain field, be familiar with the new development process, developThe environment, and the style of work among various colleagues, and the experience of this job does not add points to the next job.

So, career planning is important, but very few people can do it well, including myself.

In the past, it was popular to do embedded, and then many people went to Linux and RTOS, and they all thought that the single-chip microcomputer was scum, and they thought that it would be awesome to run an operating system!

Actually not. There is a bottleneck in every direction. Generally, if the salary is about 30,000 yuan, it will be difficult to get a big increase. For those who can get a high salary, sometimes you can get a high salary because it is not becauseHow good your technology is, but because your field is hot, investors have invested a lot of money, and the boss has a lot of money.

Life is like this. When you have no choice, you will toss and turn. When you choose to make a problem, you will feel annoyed. People are always tempered and grown in such ups and downs. When we find that,Our own power is really very small. When we find that the most precious things we can get have always been around and within our grasp, we may only truly grow.

Good luck!

PS: I'm a little embarrassed to say trouble.
