[Song Xinyu] When is job hopping the most appropriate?

Xue24 is a website that I recently paid close attention to. It has two features: self-learning and knowledge sharing. First, learners can arrange their learning time properly; 2. learners can also serve as instructors and share their knowledge. So when do I think Job hopping is the most appropriate? In this way, your investment strategy is to examine the fundamentals or short-term profitability. The former is relatively stable and can take the professional development path. The latter is highly risky, but may encounter good luck, but it is basically luck. I don't think it has anything to do with my own vision. I will select the former.

Spring is like a job-hopping season

To discuss this topic, I did not have any questions (I skipped it many years ago). Instead, I recently asked this question one after another with my relatives and friends. I 'd like to hear my opinion. Two of them are very typical:

A young man graduated from college for about a year. Because of his good academic performance, he entered a private enterprise with excellent business conditions after graduation. At first, I felt that the future was bright, but after a few months, my mood plummeted, because I felt that I was not taken seriously. Another person who worked in a foreign company in year 56 thought that his work, boss, and salary were both good, but he saw and heard old classmates and friends constantly changing jobs, in addition, it seems that every time I change my job, my salary increases a lot, so I have the idea of moving.

In this society, it seems out of date to promote loyalty to a company. Our previous generation is proud to stay in a unit for a lifetime. On the contrary, Job hopping is a fashionable thing. It seems meaningless to discuss whether or not to change jobs. The only thing that needs to be discussed is when it is most appropriate to change jobs.

When is job hopping the most appropriate? There is no standard answer to this question. Everything without a standard answer can be discussed from the opposite. In my experience, I should not choose to change jobs in at least the following situations:

-Someone else changes jobs and tells you how to raise his salary. (This always reminds me of people who say how much money he has made when he buys a stock. Of course, he never said he had lost money .) Everyone's situation is different. What follows suit is often the worst life decision.

-The job is only for a temporary salary increase. What determines the value of a job is at least as important as pay, and what you can learn in a company. Because it determines the value of your personal future. When you become an expert in a certain area, it is very easy to earn money. I am still the old saying: investing in this stock is the most profitable.

-It takes only a short time to work in a place. People with experience know that it is difficult for a new employee to be fully accepted by a new company at the beginning. There are both business considerations and trust considerations. On the contrary, it takes a long time for a new person to understand and accept the business model, culture, and work style of the new company. It is difficult to make a score without two or three years. If you give up in just a few months, you may become the so-called jobhopper, so that you will never have a chance in a better company (about this, I explained in my previous article "alert jobhopper ).

-A conflict with the boss. Naturally, we are most likely to make irrational decisions. In fact, conflict is an opportunity, not the end of the world. The key is how you respond to conflicts. If you have conflicts with your boss every day and you cannot change anything, consider changing your job and boss. However, I would like to remind you that new superiors may not be better. (If a person has changed several superiors, the problem may be caused by himself ).

Even if the future direction of social development is the increasing importance of individuals, even in the IT and consulting industries with a very high turnover rate, I still believe that a group of people with fate will come together for a long time, it is beautiful to do things that cannot be done permanently by relying on personal strength. This is actually the value of a company, or the value of a person. If you change jobs, you can find such a group of like-minded people, so that you can enrich yourself better. If not, be careful.

When is job hopping the most appropriate? Only one person can answer this question. I hope the above suggestions can help my friends avoid some job-hopping traps.

Today's story-Resign

A said to B: "I want to leave this company. I hate this company !" B suggested: "I agree with your hands for revenge !! The company must give it some color to see. But leaving now is not the best time ."

A: Why? B said: "If you leave now, the company will not suffer much losses. You should take advantage of the opportunities in the company and try your best to pull some customers for yourself to become a stand-alone person in the company. Then, when these customers suddenly leave the company, the company will suffer major losses, very passive."

A thinks B is very rational. So he worked hard and made his wish. After more than half a year of hard work, he had many loyal customers. When I meet you again, B asks a: It's time to take action! A smiled and said: The boss talked with me for a long time and planned to promote me as assistant to the general manager. I have not left yet.

In fact, this is exactly the original intention of B. A person's job is always just for his resume. Only when the reward is greater than the gain, so that the boss can truly see that your ability is greater than the position will you be given more opportunities to create more profits for him.
