BJ's workplace, firm direction in the swing and trial and error

Four months ago, I wrote an article, "My Fourth New Job in BJ". After eight years of ups and downs in the workplace in BJ, I thought that this so-called fourth new job would accompany I'm next for a long time.Unfortunately, due to the change of the new company and the change of my personal thinking, this job was terminated four months later.

Looking back on the past, in July 2021, I quit my job at Cheetah Mobile. I set off from BJ alone and drove to Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Sichuan, XZ, Qinghai, XJ, Gansu and other places. It took me two full months , opened a period of spiritual self-salvation.This trip spanning 7 provinces and traveling more than 11 kilometers is the first real self-breakthrough since I came to BJ in so many years. I just want to follow my heart for a real walk, look at the mountains and rivers, have a dialogue with myself in the parallel world, and tell the secrets that have been buried in my heart for many years, as well as my loneliness and confusion , ideal and firm.

After returning to BJ in September 2021, I joined a technology company called Yitai Education. There were many reasons why I chose this company at that time.For example, I don’t want to travel anymore, I don’t want to work in the HD area, I don’t want to go to a big Internet company, I don’t want to go to a startup company that is too small, I don’t want to move to a company far away from home, etc.Due to too many rules and regulations in self-screening, many opportunities that I could have chosen have been rejected by me one after another. After weighing the pros and cons, Yitai Education can only be regarded as a general.

After working in Yitai Education for a period of time, I found that I had nothing to do every day, and the company had no formed products and solutions for me to realize my self-worth at work.On the contrary, the work I do every day is something I am not good at, and it is even useless in my opinion, just like I am a skilled chef, but the boss told me that we don’t have any raw materials for you to cook now, you have to first You need to grow land and vegetables, and make your own seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. With these, you can play your chef's value and cook delicious meals.

But how to grow land and vegetables?No one taught me, let alone seed fertilizers and pesticides.All these need to be explored slowly by myself, starting from the beginning, and whether farming and vegetable harvest can be harvested is also subject to various factors such as the right time, place and harmony of people. Therefore, in April 2022, I resolutely left Yitai Education.

Before leaving Yitai Education, I spent a month thinking about my future work and life. What am I going to do?what can i doHow can I play my part at work to realize my self-worth and sense of accomplishment.That's why I came up with the previous article "My Fourth New Job at BJ". I want to break out of my original comfort zone, open up a new path, challenge and try something I have never set foot in. field.

In April 2022, after I left Yitai Education, I joined e-signature seamlessly. I wanted to realize my value in this field of electronic signature that I had never set foot in, and stimulate my new enthusiasm and interest in work.At the beginning, I did feel that as a cross-industry pre-sales manager, I had many deficiencies in product understanding and business ability, but I was willing to spend time learning, and I was willing to tirelessly ask for advice from old colleagues around me. I am willing to delve into the product by myself and dig into every detail of the product and solution.

From April to August 2022, during the four months or so, I actually lived a very painful life. The new job and business gave me some pressure, just like a kindergarten student, To start learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, learn ABCD.In addition to these, I added plans and plans for the postgraduate entrance examination at the beginning of this year. In addition to work every day, I also listened to the postgraduate entrance examination courses, recited English words, and did exercises.During these four months or so, I hardly had any social and free time, but I felt that the daily time was not enough. Learning is something that can transform people, but this process does not happen overnight. The moment of nirvana and rebirth is certainly Beautiful, but the process is full of hardships.

What's more, this year's new novel "Beipiao Workplace Illustrated Book" is still being created. For more than half a year, I have spared time to write every week. This is my hobby and my ideal pursuit. This is the ultimate goal of my life.So no matter how busy I am at work, no matter how stressful the postgraduate entrance examination is, I will never forget my original intention.

I bought some good books at the beginning of the year, and I want to spend a year reading these books, because reading can make people enlightened, wise, grow and calm.So no matter how busy I am with work, postgraduate entrance examinations, and writing, I will spare some time to read every day. Fortunately, during the past six months, I have never put aside the matter of reading.

Over the past four months, I have become familiar with the functions of many products from being unfamiliar with e-signature treasure. I no longer have a half-knowledge about business, industry, and solutions. I feel that I am at least qualified. of the pre-sales manager.But it is also during this process that the company’s requirements for pre-sales managers have undergone some changes. The company requires pre-sales managers to have the ability of project managers. You must understand pre-sales, delivery, and interface and technology. .This is actually because the company considers operations from the perspective of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, but I myself have no intention or ability to meet the company's requirements, so from this perspective, the company and I do not meet each other's expectations.

What's more, in the past four months, I found that doing this kind of B-side business is not as simple as I imagined before. It's like standing on the earth and looking at the moon from a distance. The moonlight is bright and bright. Beautiful, makes you yearn for.But when you travel thousands of miles across light years to the moon, you find that the surface of the moon is covered with dust, but it is not as magnificent as the mountains and rivers on the earth.

In the past, I worked on the G end, and operated several projects with several million or tens of millions, and won 100% of the bids.But now, in this electronic signature industry, a project worth more than [-] yuan is a big order, and the competition is fierce. I followed the salesman to bid several times, and finally found that it was just running with me.

I used to think that G-end products are all decorations, with many bugs in the products, and the normalized application effect is poor.Only now do I know that products in every industry have bugs, and customers will encounter many problems during use.There are no perfect products and companies, only businesses and fields that you are suitable for and good at.

So at the end of August, I finally chose to leave e-signature.Leaving is for a better choice.Leaving is to not spend your time in the wrong place.Leaving is to find a suitable world and shine.

A telemarketing friend who had been in the insurance business before changed his job recently and started to do loan sales, wanting to explore a new career path.But after working for less than a month, I found that I was not very suitable for this job.My friend finally decided to resign and return to the insurance industry to continue doing telemarketing.After hearing this, I felt a lot of emotion. We are already 30 years old. Maybe we want to challenge ourselves and break through ourselves when we change jobs.

It's like after I left e-signature, I finally returned to the education informatization industry I was engaged in and was familiar with before, and joined a well-known education technology company in the industry.After swaying, after trial and error, after wasting some time cost, energy cost, and income cost, we can finally find our own direction, and from then on, we will continue to move forward unswervingly.

In the past six months, I have tried a new way, taking postgraduate entrance examinations, not going on business trips, going to work step by step, living a regular life and work and rest, and looking forward to my life a year later.But it was also during this six months that many of my previous ideas began to be overturned by myself. I felt that many of my ideas were unrealistic, and my plans and plans at the beginning of the year began to waver.In the past six months, I have put too much pressure on myself. These pressures have made me unhappy, and I have begun to be timid.I often think recently, what is wrong with me, what is wrong with me, I am a person who is born free, I am a person who wanders between heaven and earth, but why have I lived so depressed and sad for the past six months , so lost my past free and easy and comfortable.

So I wrote a few articles later, "Only in BJ do I know how ordinary I am", "In BJ, the pressure is all given by myself" to tell my worries.

How can a person with a free mind be imprisoned by reality?How can a person who likes to roam the world by nature lead a nine-to-five life?In this August, I started to think, to reflect on myself, to talk to my inner self, and to sum up my experience after swinging and trial and error.I think, I should start to transform now, and I should find my true self in the jungle and thorns.

Today, the autumn wind in early autumn in BJ is enough to make people sober, and after swaying and trial and error, I have strengthened my direction.In the next few days, I may start a new life and journey. Although this is contrary to my plan at the beginning of the year, it is the inevitable result of choosing to stop losses in time after paying the cost of trial and error. .

I heard that 30 years old is the first year of life, but I think back to the summer of 2015, when I graduated from university at the age of 23, and came to BJ with my dreams and the courage of a newborn calf.Thinking of realizing dreams, thinking of earning money to survive, thinking of making great achievements and returning home.But now, more than seven years have worn away the radiance of my youth, my initial passion, some of my ideals, and my original thick hair.

A few days ago, a colleague from five years ago suddenly met, and the colleague asked me, how have you been in the past few years?Married?I replied that I had a good life and was not married yet.Yes, I've been living well, but I'm not married.I can't help but sigh, five years have passed like a white horse, and I still haven't got married and started a career, and I am still wandering in BJ like this, swaying, trial and error, and alone.Under the pressure of the years, on the contrary, the appearance of himself when he first came to BJ was crushed to pieces, leaving nothing behind.

Maybe, we should go to a new life, maybe we should return to the essence of life. Before the age of 30, you can go through countless swings and trial and error, swing and trial and error at work, swing and trial and error in relationship, swing and trial and error in dream.But after the age of 30, the cost of swinging and trial and error will become higher and higher, and some things are even irreversible. Then we should seriously think about the life we ​​want to live next, and then stick to one direction and remain committed.
