Can I start my own company after completing the software engineering course?

We live in an era of rapid development in China. For young people, this is an era in which opportunities and challenges coexist. Compared with our parents, we have received higher education and more opportunities to work in different enterprises. Faced with a variety of job choices, most job seekers will use the knowledge they have learned in four-year undergraduate courses or even the majors they have learned in three-year master's degree to find jobs. This seems to be the most natural and convenient way to find a job.

However, after working for a period of time, I found that the work was not what I expected. I think the career path is still very long. It may be difficult for many people to make a living whether to continue to engage in their professional counterparts or find opportunities to engage in jobs that are more suitable for them.

Hu Ping (pseudonym) from Beijing graduated from a well-known 985 university in Beijing with a master's degree in software engineering. She successfully entered a well-known foreign-funded enterprise and became an R&D engineer. After working for four years, her income has been very good in the local area. At a young age, she was engaged in this stressful R&D work, and she felt unspeakable discomfort. Married, she really wants to find a relatively easy management job and have time to have a baby. However, four years of technical work made it difficult for her to jump out of this circle. By chance, she found a sunny job through the internet, and she wanted to find a career planner to help her.

Fortunately, I became a career planning tutor in Hu Ping. She is an excellent girl. She did well in college and graduate school, and worked hard after work. She has made small achievements in her career in just four years, but now she is in a dilemma. After reading her information, I am also thinking about how to make a career plan for her, so that she can find a job that suits her and take care of her family.

I started this consultation with her through online video. After the internet was connected, I "saw" her, a little as I expected. She wears black-rimmed glasses and is very intellectual. She wants to work for four years. She has changed from a student to a mature professional, but her eyes are a little anxious. Maybe this job really keeps her busy.

"Hu Ping, you came to see me today. What professional problems need to be solved? " After a brief greeting, I began to ask.

"Miss Wu, I am engaged in research and development now, but I really don't like this job. The department is very depressed. It is common to work hard and work overtime. I want to switch to management, but I don't know how to do it? " She asked the question in one breath. It seems that she has been depressed in this job for a long time.

"What do you like about this job?" I want to dig deeper into her love of work.

"Now the company is a multinational enterprise, and I prefer to cooperate with suppliers; Cooperate with people from other departments in new product projects; There is also cooperation with colleagues in other countries. I have benefited a lot from dealing with them at work. " It seems that this job is not useless to her.

"Is there much training in the company?" Big companies must have a lot of training.

"Teacher Wu, the biggest advantage of entering this company is training. There is not much technical training, but most of them are management training, such as lean production integrated work system and material research and development process methodology. " Speaking of training, she started talking again. It seems that this job has been promoted quickly in four years, which is really a good platform.

"Why did you choose this job?" I'm curious about her job choice.

"At the beginning, I wanted to take the psychology major in the postgraduate stage, but my score was not enough, so I couldn't switch to software engineering. My parents also think that science and engineering are better for employment, so my career started from manufacturing. " It sounds that at the age of 30, she is really helpless about this job.

Now engaged in technology research and development, excellent academic background, working experience in top 500 enterprises, proficient in English and strong logical thinking ability; Can devote oneself to work; I can work hard for what I recognize. However, her career vision is very narrow, which limits her career development. If she continues to work in R&D, it is not unreasonable, but the room for promotion is limited. Besides, this job is busy, and she plans to have children. It is difficult to take care of her family in this job. It is necessary to help her find a suitable career direction and fully understand the core needs of professional values at different stages. Jumping out of the working environment, we can learn more about other relevant career information in today's society and open up new ideas.

After in-depth communication with her, if you want to have children recently, it is definitely not advisable to jump ship. The best solution is to change jobs within this company and find a more suitable position, such as production management post or quality management post. She has an excellent working background and is familiar with production line management. Honest personality, serious work, job-hopping should not be difficult.

"Hu Ping, are you going to be a headhunting consultant in the future?" After giving birth to the baby, I planned my career development path with her.

"Teacher Wu, I will consider internal job-hopping first, and then have children as soon as possible. Then I can consider your suggestion. " It seems that having a baby is really the top priority in her plan.

"You have a background in Fortune 500 companies; Excellent academic background, good affinity and good communication skills; Quick learning ability and reaction ability, good logical thinking ability, and potential as a headhunting consultant. What you expect is a relatively free working style, which is not affected by gender and physiological age, and will be more suitable for you. " I helped her define her position so that she can have a better development in the future.

"Teacher Wu, how can I be a headhunting consultant?" It seems that she is anxious about her future career development.

"With the continuous escalation of competition in the workplace, the demand for mid-to high-end management talents has become increasingly prominent. It is impossible for internal human resources to fully invest in recruiting only one module, so the demand for headhunting industry in China has always been great; The income of headhunting consultants is somewhat similar to sales, performance-oriented, with relatively considerable income and relatively flexible time. "

"Mr. Wu, I will transfer my post internally first and be a headhunting consultant step by step as planned." After our discussion, we quickly reached an understanding, which made me feel gratified.

"Of course, to become an excellent headhunting consultant, we should implement such an action plan now: understand the characteristics of this kind of occupation and other related contents, and determine our interests; After clarifying your interest, fully understand the relevant content through various channels and lock in the direction; Receive relevant training and do part-time internship; Constantly strengthen their own ability in this area in order to continue to be full-time; Through 2-3 years of accumulation, strengthen your achievements in this field and enhance your popularity; As an expert, you can determine and arrange your own working methods according to your own time needs. " I slowly revealed the development path of headhunting consultant, hoping that she can take action.

"Thank you, Miss Wu. Starting today, I will implement it according to your action plan. " She smiled sweetly and the consultation was over.

In autumn in Shanghai, the cold air in the north cools down as soon as it comes. I feel a little cold working in an office. I put on my coat and went back to my desk. I received an email from Hu Ping. She said that now that she has successfully transferred to the management department, her work is easier than before. She will welcome her baby next summer. I wrote back to bless her, and my heart was warm.
