I went home for the Spring Festival and had dinner with a few civil servants.
Coordinates Nanjing, Suzhou - the place of yearning for civil servants on the Internet, and the benchmark city for the income of civil servants in the country.
Years ago, I could have chosen to become a civil servant, but then I gave it up myself. At that time, it was the peak of civil servants' earnings. A colleague showed me his provident fund just a month after changing jobs, and it used to be more than 7,000 yuan, and my monthly salary before I changed jobs was only 6,800 yuan.
The provident fund is higher than my salary, and civil servants are indeed enviable.
That year, I also had some undergraduate classmates who transferred to the police station in Shenzhen, and according to their own words, in the first year of their transfer, the annual total contract income was close to 400,000 yuan.
In the past two years, the situation has begun to change.
A classmate in Shenzhen said that after cleaning up and rectifying, his annual total contract income is now only more than 200,000 yuan. A few civil servants in Nanjing said that in the past two years, the unit has evenly distributed the performance to the salary, and the tax is calculated on a consolidated basis, and this part of the performance may also be cleaned up in the future. In addition, the wages paid by some units through the "small treasury" in previous years have also been recovered in the past two years.
During the conversation, the civil servant friend's expression was a little melancholy. He had a lot to say to young people. In his opinion, although it is still a good career choice to take the public examination in the future, it is no longer possible to buy a big house through the income of civil servants.
At present, civil servants in Nanjing and Suzhou are more suitable for the children of the local middle class with high education and good family conditions. These people have no worries about food and clothing, are well-educated, and have low material desires, which makes them more suitable for the professional environment of future civil servants.
A friend of a civil servant picked up the drink in the cup, took a few sips, and said:
The good old days are over. ”
Chatting with insiders in the system during the Spring Festival this year, a personal feeling is that everyone has become very pragmatic overnight, and the words that used to open their mouths to build xxx to build xxx have basically disappeared, and now the mantra is to protect the basics, protect the people's livelihood, and how to revitalize their own basic plate.
The grassroots, especially the small localities, are living a tight life, and in some places, asking for money and borrowing debts from the top of the table are the top priorities. In some places, road parking, various charging items, and even community garages, parking spaces and charging piles in office buildings are installed in urban investment companies to expand the balance sheet and borrow more money.
In the future, the salaries of civil servants will be more stable and equal, and the large disparities between departments that existed in the past will no longer be the same.
In the first two years, some people who coveted the high salary in the system pounced on the problem, and only to find that the treatment was not as high as the institution and what they imagined, and there was more money and less things to do near home. In particular, civil servants in southern Jiangsu are no longer very friendly to people from other places, especially northerners.
In the past, the public examination was a shortcut, and in the future, it may also be a relatively pure dedication road, whether you are willing or not.
At the beginning of life, the most effective way is to productize yourself. Do what you do to the extreme, so that "yourself" has scarce value, Internet celebrities, anchors are like this, irreplaceable. In this way, you can get leveraged income, that is, make a name for yourself. Then, lay out your ecosystem and give yourself the right to allocate resources.
The civil service, on the other hand, is highly substitutable. The system never cares about your personal emotions. Some of the things you don't want to do are people who want to do it, and even most of the work can be done by one person.
Years later, you will find that the stupidest thing in life is to always try to find shortcuts, to put all your efforts into it, and to end up stepping on one pit after another.
