A penguin's wonderful job hunting experience

Recently, Tencent Non-compete agreement exposure, listed a large pile of Tencent employees can not go to the Internet companies, attracted a curse sound. As an old Tencent employee, I think we have misunderstood that this is not pony or Martin's decision, they have no time to think about the idea of these chicken thieves. The most fundamental reason is that we Tencent people have suffered those injuries.

Just say myself, was a product manager of Tencent's office in Antarctica, mainly responsible for the development of a game called "Penguin Bathing". The game was developed three years ago, that is, more than 1000 days and nights, I spent in the cold Antarctic. In fact, the cold is not a problem, the key you in order to meet user needs, the whole day to study the penguin every move, day, not aesthetic fatigue is strange.

So, in the fourth year, I made a resignation to Headquarters. I did not expect to receive 360 HR calls the next the next, asked me if I would like to go to their side. It turns out they have working base stations in Antarctica and the Arctic Ocean, and they can monitor their competitors at any time. But you know, Tencent employees are still more moral, I rebuffed them: Sorry, your boss Yu every day to find the stubble of Tencent, I will not go!

Back in Beijing, the first company to invite me to interview is millet. and their HR chat for a good three hours, obviously can feel he likes me, I also chatted more and more hi, an excited to take off the coat-mainly in Antarctica for a long time, to where all like subtropical. He gave me a word: go back and wait for the letter.

I waited for nearly two weeks, nor any news, feeling bad, asked a friend of Millet, in the end. He sent me a message: You were wearing the wrong clothes the day of the interview. I pondered and finally remembered the T-shirt I wore the day after I took off my coat. Brand: 361. Yes, it contains sensitive words.

Just when I was very regretful, received the call of Ali HR, want me to go to Hangzhou. Only then was told that they are ready to develop a similar micro-letter products, know I was Tencent out, so very enthusiastic. Asked me to work in Antarctica in those years there is no Taobao shopping, often buy what dongdong, express how long time to wait, I have to answer one by one. Then and they talked about the South pole of the Wind Courier, are Santa Claus dress up, find a few male penguins, get a sled, send landing to pull the wind!

The talks went well and finally talked about the salary issue. Ask me how much I pay in Antarctica, I say 500,000 after taxes, and 250 dollars a month for kidney tonic. They apparently to Tencent's kidney supplement amount of high surprised, said Ali not so high, "Ali just in kind subsidy, such as Zhi Ling version of the inflatable doll." ”

I said no, I want cash subsidies, inflatable dolls can only make the kidney more loss. HR said I would be fine, they have to consult the leadership. Two days later, HR sent me a text message: "If you do not use inflatable dolls to do subsidies, can be replaced by a large kidney?" Free shipping. ”

I think this is a very stingy company, refused them. Coincidentally, a headhunter phone me, said Ding Lei is in Hangzhou, asked me if I would like to meet to chat. I didn't even think about it! You know, this is Ding lei, it can be said that I have just entered the Internet Idol class figure, he was still China's richest man!

And Ding lei about a picturesque farm on the outskirts of Hangzhou. He was still so talkative and elegant. We talked about it from New Confucianism, and then we talked about India because of the Ming school, and the relationship between religion and the Internet, and so on. He said that the current Chinese Internet lacks first-class products, either mediocre or vulgar. NetEase to break this cycle. "Over the years we have been laying, although some products have not run out, but the foundation has, now lacks you such returnees," Ding Lei Point on a Havana cigar, leisurely asked me, "right, you think these years NetEase do the best one product is?"

He looked at me kindly like an elder and a wise man, as if he had known what I was going to say. In front of the idol, I am very cautious. I quickly in the mind to retrieve, filter, filter, not hesitate to say a word: pig!

After I said the word of 18 seconds, Ding Lei's expression as if solidified, saw a chimney in front of the face of smoke, his wisdom and kindly smile disappeared, replaced by a success of the failure! I know I ran away, he wanted the answer online, I gave him a offline answer!

I hastened to confess the mistake. Ding always I do not mean that, I am not saying NetEase's internet product is not good, I mean all of your online and offline products, pigs best! "

Ding lei thoroughly broke out, just like the child found the truth, yelled at me: "Go to your uncle!"

I feel that I am a wandering on the streets of penguins, everyone is laughing at me: Tencent came out to find a job is really difficult ha! At this time, I received the Shenzhen headquarters HR to call me back to a trip. For many years did not go to Shenzhen, back to Bai. After that we know, is our HR director from a number of channels to learn about my wonderful job hunting road, said after this all the way down, you have been a qualified HR, and then stay in the Headquarters bar! Immediately, he asked me to list all the companies that had rejected me, and I gave him the top few.

The full version of the Non-compete agreement was later seen, and the rest of the company rejected him.
