I'm 32 years old this year, and I've been working in back-end development at a large factory since graduation, and it's my fifth year of work. With the annual salary plus the provident fund, the income can also reach more than 700,000 yuan.
During the Chinese New Year, I chatted with relatives and talked about the pressure of life, and I said that it was okay, after all, the mortgage had been paid off, and most of the income of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year could be saved.
Unexpectedly, the relatives retorted, good is not necessarily good, although I earn a lot now, but after three or five years, I can't find a job after being laid off, and my income will be cut off, and you will have to be anxious every day at that time.
If you want to say it, your cousin has a more secure job, although the annual income is not as much as mine, but in the career establishment, there is no worry about finding a job, and there is a considerable pension after retirement.
After listening to my relatives, I suddenly realized that I shouldn't be too open about my true income. After all, parents always want their children to be the best and have the most stable jobs.
In retrospect, there were some apprehensions. In the past two years, although the annual income has been quite good, as the company's business has become more and more solidified, I feel more and more pressured to work. Everyone is working hard to keep their performance, and after a few years of having a child, if their body can't bear it, I really don't know what to do.
Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I will also think about whether I can take advantage of the opportunity to take the career editor exam and build a good relationship with my colleagues, so that I can get help when I need it in the future. However, after much thought, I decided to forget it.
I've been living in big cities since college, and I've been working in internet companies since I graduated. If I was admitted to the career editor, it is estimated that it would be difficult for me to adapt to that relatively fixed way of working, and I would not have the heart and energy to maintain those complicated interpersonal relationships.
Relatives say this, based only on their expectations and experiences. They have not lived in a big city, let alone worked in an Internet company, so they do not understand the risk of layoffs in the Internet industry, although there are relatively more opportunities.
Many times, as long as we ourselves are strong enough and willing to lower some expectations and endure some menial work at the right time, we can always find a way out.
If I really can't find a suitable place to go, the savings accumulated from working in a large factory in those years are enough for me to live a stable life. During this time, with the help of my work experience, I believe that new opportunities can always be found.
