Chapter 111 Career Planning
Jiang Shao joined a new company.
It is a fairly good Internet company and is well-known in the circle.
The treatment is much better than before.
Jiang Shao was very happy, and Xia Qing was also happy for him.
When I was looking for a job before, I interviewed with many companies but the offers were neither high nor low.
I finally decided on this company. It's quite good in terms of salary, accumulation of work experience and improvement of technical level. Perhaps the only disadvantage is that I have to travel frequently.
It is common to be on a business trip for 10 days or half a month.
When you are young, you need to work hard, but Jiang Shao doesn't feel tired.
Sometimes when I called him on weekends, he was still working overtime.
Fortunately, there is overtime pay for overtime work, and there is a reward for every effort put in. He and Xia Qing's life are obviously getting better.
In the past, rent alone took up a large part of the couple's income. Now that Jiang Shao's salary has doubled, the couple's living standards are visibly improving.
But the work intensity of this job is very high, and only young guys can withstand such intensity and pressure.
When you get older, you should consider changing jobs.
Xia Qing understood his hard work. Although they met less often, they still called, sent messages, and had voice and video calls.
"Baby, I'll be back in two days. I can stay a few more days this time. Do you miss me?" Jiang Shao on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a relaxed mood as his work was finally finished.
Xia Qing was applying a facial mask while cleaning up and chatting with Jiang Shao.
"I miss you. When will you come back?"
"I'll be there at noon the day after tomorrow."
"Hmm~"
"Baby, did you take good care of yourself when I was away?" Jiang Shao looked at the busy figure over there.
"I'm doing fine, the company is still the same, but I also want to change jobs." Xia Qing had actually wanted to change jobs for a long time. She didn't want to stay at the same company for more than five years before leaving like in her previous life.
She thought about submitting her resume and going for an interview during this period.
The reason she came to the company before was that Sister Meimei was pregnant with her second child and someone was needed to take over the position, so they hired Xia Qing.
But after Sister Meimei returned from maternity leave, her boss assigned her to do other work, which was a new work area needed for the company's development.
But Sister Meimei was not very satisfied with the job.
The company seemed to be planning to fire her because of her second child.
Because having a second child did not meet the policy requirements at that time, there was no maternity insurance allowance. When Sister Meimei was on maternity leave, she received the minimum monthly wage for employees in Beijing at that time.
After deducting social security and provident fund, there is basically nothing left, and even money has to be deducted several times.
When Sister Meimei came back from maternity leave, she did not receive any performance bonus for the first month. In addition to deducting social insurance and provident fund from her basic salary, she also had to deduct the money she owed for maternity leave.
At that time, Sister Meimei just complained but did not decide to leave.
She is not a career-oriented woman.
Sister Meimei decided to leave when the company was slowly marginalizing her. Not only did her work lose attention, but her salary and benefits also dropped significantly.
The company's compensation and benefits system is a base salary + performance bonus + allowance model. Generally speaking, there aren't any major issues, and the performance bonus and allowance are pretty much the same each month.
However, because of those reasons, Sister Meimei’s monthly performance bonus was deducted a lot.
She wanted to work but there was no work, so she asked her leader for help more than once.
The boss had talked to him many times, but never discussed the key issues. The only attitude he had was, "This is in accordance with the regulations from above."
At that time, Meimei's husband's business was in a downturn.
The pressure of family life forced her to resign.
This time, Sister Meimei had just returned not long ago.
The company hasn't made it so obvious that it wants to persuade her to quit in disguise.
Xia Qing thought that if she resigned early, Sister Meimei could return to her original position.
After all, every job has its place. Xia Qing left, and the position was vacant, so Meimei came back just in time. She didn't have to resign. The company's benefits were good. Although the salary was a bit low, Meimei could have time to take care of the children, unlike internet companies where the busy work and travel meant she couldn't take care of her family.
Besides, I worked in this position for five years in my previous life without any improvement. I had mastered the necessary skills, but it was difficult to get promoted. There was no need to start over again and waste time in this position.
Leaving early and trying something else is also an opportunity.
So, Xia Qing started submitting her resume on major recruitment websites.
When there is an interview, Xia Qing will take leave to go to the interview, and then come back to continue working.
In the past, the company gave employees three days of vacation every month, and no salary was deducted during the vacation. At that time, the employees lived a very leisurely life. But later, the three days became two days, then one day, and finally there was no day left.
Welfare benefits are slowly being eroded.
It is a predictable result that the company's ambitious young people will jump ship.
Xia Qing wanted to leave early.
She discussed it with Jiang Shao.
Jiang Shao fully supports her, but he is afraid that she will be too tired. He doesn't want Xia Qing to have to bear the work and pressure that he can do because he knows how difficult it is.
Xia Qing also understood, but she could look for it slowly.
In fact, she has a target company, a Party A company in her previous life.
She went there relatively late in her previous life. At that time, after the company had developed, the recruitment of employees began to require a postgraduate degree. Xia Qing's bachelor's degree was not enough to get in, so at that time Xia Qing joined a subsidiary of the group and was dispatched to this company as an employee of the subsidiary.
Although I have been working there, I am not a regular employee of this company.
Sometimes the difference is too great.
Xia Qing thought that the company would be expanding its recruitment during this period. At this time, as long as one has outstanding abilities, one can still get in with a bachelor's degree. After getting in, one can also get a master's degree while working. The key is to get in first.
She has been paying attention to the company's social recruitment during this period.
However, she did not put all her hopes on this company. She also paid attention to several other companies in the same industry and submitted her resume on their official websites.
There were interview notifications, but they were not the ones she wanted to go to.
They are all other companies listed on the website.
Xia Qing picked a few companies that looked good to interview, firstly to practice her interview skills, and secondly to understand the current employment market.
Her shop is still open.
So, sometimes she is still very busy.
She didn't want to give up her small shop, but also wanted to work hard in the traditional workplace.
The result is that you don't let go of either one, you want both, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Xia Qing, who wants to have her cake and eat it too, sometimes feels very tired.
Sometimes I want to give up but I don’t want to.
I always feel that I can do it, and if I persist, there will be some results.
But life is not what you think it is.
