Please listen to the students who change their job and find a job

Pinch point count, graduation also nearly two years, in the two years of time, I went through a big company--my own business--to join a start-up company these three different work rhythm, in addition to the system basically all kinds of companies have been, but also have some of their own choice of work to think, and then to the graduates to find internships/job-hopping season, So today, let's share my opinion.

Note: I am not very interested in the work within the system, so the following discussion does not involve your party's enterprises and institutions and accounts.

First introduce myself to the work of the process, do the technical work of the main operational dimension automation tool development.

Oracle Asian r&d Center Internship

Bachelor's degree in the technical department/system architecture of Ali Business-to-business Platform

The CEO who left his own business a year ago and failed.

Four months ago joined the United States Corps of Technology/system

I mainly from the treatment and development of these two angles to analyze the characteristics of all kinds of companies. Now we talk about treatment, the eyes are focused on wages and bonuses, I think we generally overlooked one point is-equity.

From my experience in Ali, my master and director of the glamorous, BMW Mercedes-Benz Life, my colleagues to buy a house to buy a car's long-cherished wish, basically rely on the redemption of options, with wages and bonuses to meet these, it is difficult.

Recently, in 2005, a Korean-American named David Tri was invited by Facebook's president, Parker, to go to the company's first head office in Paloaillo, Calif., to decorate the wall. As a reward, Parker offered David two options: To receive thousands of dollars in cash, or accept shares of equal value. Although Cui thought Facebook was "absurd and meaningless", it still accepted the shares. Now, with Facebook on the way, David's hand was worth only thousands of dollars a year. It is estimated that it will rise to $200 million trillion. Not to mention the employees who joined early on Facebook.

American college education is more entrepreneurship, so the halo of Facebook is falling in the top American elite graduates, compared with the more willing to start their own startup, or join an emerging company like Twitter, Tumblr,pinterest, etc.). After Facebook is on the market, he will slowly be relegated to the same position as Google, Microsoft, Oracle and Cisco. Be the cradle (or hotbed) of the adoption of secondary or intermediate-level graduates.

The opposite is likely to be the case at home: The first thing to admit is that few people have a concept of stock or equity, whether they are bachelors or masters, and generally as long as salaries and bonuses are available. People in China are more focused on the eyes, For it is the silver that can be taken every month. So they generally feel (and the parents also agree) to go to mature and formal big companies, such as Google, Microsoft's 500-strong companies better (TOP20 best). Not listed, but feel unstable, not reliable. In the same way, foreign companies do have a lot of research on Chinese demand, so they basically give a small number of shares in the domestic division, such as Google China to 40 shares, Microsoft China to 125 or more than 200 shares.

Another example of the reality around, 11 Baidu share price has been 100 knives up and down, I am now a colleague to join Baidu in 07 gave 1000 shares Rsu, and so he left in 11, by option to get 70w+ income, almost his 4 years of wage income.

The first class is the Internet name Enterprise, TAB TOP3 Company, this kind of company's characteristic is already listed, the business is stable, the technical team has formed, the process is very standard, the treatment is according to your technical level corresponding, the welfare system is good.

Ali Department and Tencent Baidu Special place is, he is a group, under the three big Wagon (I was in), although Tencent Baidu market value is so high, are listed companies, we have to go into the students can not be a high dividend. But unlike Ali, business-to-business business has been listed, It can be said that the common assets under the group. At that time, the group's literary and artistic assets have Taobao, Alipay, two force assets Aliyun, Ali mother, Word-of-mouth, million nets and so on.

Why art assets, because they did not go public, to pay treasure and Taobao brush money speed, the future market value added to the hope that hundreds of billions of dollars, not Tencent Baidu can Xiang.

But the problem with Taobao is fake, this thing can not solve you go abroad listed abroad those companies are not going to kill you. So Ma Yun and its smart, Taobao split into Taobao, Cat, a Amoy, poly cost-effective.

Taobao still continues to make fakes, but Taobao's biggest revenue – advertising revenue (the Taobao train and the like) is divided into one Amoy, so we have to admire the handwriting of Ma Yun, so, Taobao earned money by a Amoy to wash white, a Amoy net profit high to scary. Income is also advertising revenue, and the money is washed clean money, There is no problem with the listing.

The cat is also very good, valuation reference Jingdong, there is no fake problem, Alipay, not to mention. The cost is actually in kind group purchase, 11 sales more than 10 billion. Also very promising, there are Taobao flow import.

So the three companies would be a good choice if they got an offer with options. In addition, options are also divided into Group options and branch options, of course, Ali Group options more valuable, in the two-tier market price of about 30 knives bar.

And go to this kind of name enterprises will have Halo, basically LinkedIn will have all kinds of headhunting to your contact method, after a period of time out, the road is very wide.

The second category is startup, start-up companies, and here on the X round to get the investment into several grades.

Take Facebook For example, if you can join mark in the dorm, then you are the entrepreneur, there is no VC financing, so the average angel before the wheel to join the people are CO-FOUNDER,FB now founder at least billion, of course, they risk the most, The probability of startup failure at this stage is too high.

Then, if you can add 50w dollars to the Silicon Valley Angel Peter Thiel, you're also a veteran, and now it's 1 billion-level. You're also a director of all kinds.

If you join the Accel, you can be counted as a core employee when you invest in a 1270w knife, you take the stock option, and the value can reach tens of millions of knives level.

The final stage is that you have been in Microsoft 240 million knife after adding, you get only RSU, of course, a lot of, how the price can reach millions of knives, buy a car no problem.

The difference between the stock option and the RSU is that an option employee can exercise power to get a stake and then sell shares in a two-tier market such as Secondmarket,sharespost before listing after leaving Facebook. The Facebook shares on Sharespost on March 2, 2011 have been fired at $38 a share, meaning Facebook's valuations have reached $90 billion before the IPO. RSU employees will have to wait until Facebook is listed to make a profit.

If you join FB now, just like all kinds of POJ Daniel join google/Microsoft/Baidu/Tencent/360/everyone/Ali department, very few RSU, details please see the <25 year old graduate students get high salary Internet offer, spirited out of the school ...> that article.

What I want to say is development, including skills and career development, do you really think that the X-Men sitting in the office are more capable than you at the age of more than 20?

My own feeling in Ali is that my masters went to a really good time, my ex-teacher nicknamed the headmaster, 03 joined Ali, work number 2083, the current level P11 (senior management), he told me about his graduation time, than now read this diary of a lot of people are poor, but this does not prevent my master to become a wonderful work of business-to-business.

I think my master's career is the most important decision to join Ali, but 03 years of Ali ... It's a company that advertises in newspapers and can't recruit people. In fact, I think 03 years of my master and 03 Ali very well with ... High-end talent naturally not bird, but my master went to the

My Master is right, 07 Ali business-to-business listing, the watershed. Of course, with the company's business growth, a series of technical problems, may be you in the name of the enterprise will never touch the problem, my master to resolve, especially webx, such as a series with the end of X frame and simple beginning of the project, It's basically my master's masterpiece ... these projects are just as well as my master's.

A person's career is a long-distance running, if you now join a mature company, or constantly jumping around in the name of the enterprise, 5 years later, your career may be a senior engineer position. But if you enter a start-up, you may be facing a failure, But it's also possible to find a real career. My Master's story is a success.

So here are the students who are about to change jobs and find a job, think twice, high risk means high return, high return means high risk. Please refer to the Jinggangshan Share Liability Co., Ltd. of the 1920s. High-handsome ancestors risked a high risk, and, similarly, low risk means low returns.

tab this kind of big company how chooses to believe does not have me to explain to everybody, if you are interested in startups, please listen to me to continue to say.

Let me say how to choose Startup to join. Of course, if you want to be a co-founder, you can ignore the following tips.

1. Look at the money, see who have got the money of VC, especially famous VC, such as Sequoia, Kpcb,nea,mayfield. The companies they vote for are basically reliable.

2. See the market, see how big the market, the company can do, there is no reliable profit model, there are too strong competitors.

3. See the value, see if you can trust the company's value system, believe that the small company in the next 5 years can create value.

4. Look at people, look at the company's team how to rely on unreliable.

Fresh students choose to go to a large company internship or work, but also may not be a safe choice, but also have been in the name of the engineer students think twice, if you continue to go there, Can you reach the boss of your boss. And now startups's pay level has generally surpassed the mature name. Because of their lack of fame, so in order to keep talent is often a big big.

Here I would like to say that I think there will be more promising small and medium-sized companies (not as a start-up company), has been a lot of investment. There is the possibility of listing as the next giant, of course, there is the risk, I hope you will think twice:

Millet

I value the size of the market and profitability, Millet has its own hard products mobile phones, the profit model has security, there are MIUI, the future of the advertising platform is limitless, smart phone market is very large, I believe there will be a world of millet.

Want to go classmate can contact male seniors (Shing Rock) and Zhangdongjie (work number 2 digits).

Beautiful said

Online shopping market is huge, with the docking of Taobao, Beautiful said that the profit model is guaranteed. I think beauty said that will be in the fashion shopping industry has a lot of potential, than foreign Pinterest model. Last November, the C-round melted 2000w knives, GGV and Sequoia.

Want to go to the classmate can contact Li Wentao Seniors.

Public comments

User reviews produce very valuable content, the foreign Yelp model valuation is close to 7 billion knives, and the public comments on a variety of profit models, search rankings, buy, coupons have, can be said to be the O2O era of Baidu + United States Regiment, I think the future is limitless. April 11 melted 100 million knives, valued 1 billion knives, Zhi Xin qiming Sequoia cast. Only the headquarter is in Shanghai.

American Regiment

Local consumer market is a big blue sea, although the current group buying market is very messy, but in the fourth quarter of 11, the United States Regiment monthly growth of 50%, to do the first. Because I am in the United States Regiment, so to see the data is very confident, which also let me have a lot of feelings, do not parrot, must have their own views. Group Buying mode has a good cash flow, I believe that the United States will achieve a break-even in 2012, become the ultimate king of group buying industry. And Wang's strategic focus on the mobile internet, and local group buying no electricity business logistics and warehousing pressure, I believe the future of the United States, I believe that the future of O2O. Last April, the B-round melted 5000w knives, the northern Aurora Borealis Sequoia led. A round is the Sequoia cast 1000w knife.

Interested students can contact me, all kinds of positions have recruitment, especially welcomed the work experience of the students. The standard for the technical department is the MBP 15+27 inch display. Treatment is not lower than the industry level. Come to give is the stock Option.

All the above is the B-round after the company, as for the B-round before the start-up companies, or rely on everyone to find themselves.

I think the students who do technology, to avoid cock Silk's best hope is the option, I hope you will pay attention to it and do not lose the long-term income and career for the immediate benefit. I hope you will join the 04 Baidu, Ali, rather than 2012 of years of various names. Go to the place where you can get the most value and maximize the rewards, Instead of icing on the cake.

Finally, I would like to say a word: Good engineers are not afraid to go to big companies, good engineers are afraid of not have the opportunity to have a promising small company.

Writing this article also has a digression, I think the domestic entrepreneurial environment, it is difficult for a promising small company, because a promising small company can hardly recruit a reliable engineer like Silicon Valley, and these people often offer a bunch of money, you have no big company, no big company, no head, no big company. , you can only give them a dream, a big risk.

Domestic graduates or x years of work experience engineers, everybody generally pursues is stable, is the account, is the security, is the golden mean, you go to a small company, you job-hopping, you work not a few years to start a business, they say you impetuous, but without these so-called "impetuous" attempt, the world may not have today so wonderful.

It's true that every day there are dead entrepreneurial teams, the small company/team that you are determined to go to is also in danger of being dropped, but I think we should be more tolerant of these "impetuous" people, at least they have acted, they have done, projects can fail, money can be spent, teams can disperse, But this experience will not be lost. 2011 years of mobile internet heat and VC investment fever, the birth of a large number of abandoned school, to give up the work of big companies to chase the dream and fame of the people. Though most of them will fail, I feel that in the days to come, they will want a spark, Continue to look for opportunities, I believe that one day, the future of China's Internet, will be our group of impetuous 85 after the students rewrite.

With everyone, hope that one day we will have Dalian science and technology their own startup.
