What are the opinions that are easily misled when looking for a job?

I think it's easy to be misled that a high salary is a good job. A company that gives me more money is a good company.

But is this really the case in the real workplace? What is behind the high income and high risk that employees need to pay?

Is salary important? Of course, salary is the most direct embodiment of self-worth. But the longer people in the workplace know that salary is no longer a single dimension to evaluate a company. We should be alert to these three traps behind high salaries:

I. Stability and Sustainable Development of the Company

For start-ups, the lure of high salary is an effective way to attract core employees. Some companies may still be waiting for financing, and if they really can't pay wages, they will supplement them with stocks, options and indirect high salaries of co-founders. But have you thought about these questions:

What are the chances of a startup surviving?

What is the value of your work in this startup company?

What do you want from this startup?

How much do you know about this startup?

Do you know the real reason why you are wanted with a high salary?

Xiao is a software engineer. Two years after graduation, he got an offer from BAT giant. At that time, his annual salary was 6.5438+0.8 million, but when the headhunting company threw out Olive Branch B startup with an annual salary of 240,000, he immediately left and chose to join. He became the only person who knew technology in the new company, and he also had a resounding title: technical director. In the first three months, because the company was just established, many details were not perfect. He needs to do a lot of trivial things, such as building network cables, reinstalling computers, and telephone failures. From the fourth to the sixth month, he finally started working on the project and finally worked overtime all night to make a finished product. However, due to financing difficulties, he was unable to introduce market realization and the project was suspended. In the case of wage arrears, the company is ready to try another project. The company was dissolved at the end of the year.

Second, the victims of industrial infighting.

There is a job-hopping in the workplace called job-hopping to a competitor company. At this time, you should recognize the recruitment motivation of competitive companies. If you really like your work ability and talent, it is certainly good to invite you sincerely. But if you want to use yourself, or the whole relevant department, to blow the morale of the other company and realize the interests of the company, you are just a victim of internal strife in the industry. If you only take a fancy to some internal information you have in your original company, your value will not exist after you come and get the information, so all kinds of job adjustments and systems will make you very embarrassed, so your reputation in the industry will be stinky and you can't reuse it at work. How to mix the workplace in the future?

Third, unhealthy working conditions.

There is a company culture called: employees who are unwilling to work overtime voluntarily are not good employees. Continuous overtime is not only unbearable for the body, but also reduces the quality of life and cannot take care of the family. I can only finish my work and work overtime. After work, I have no time to recharge myself and expand my study. Is there less news of sudden death due to overtime on the Internet?

Life is precious, and overtime is more expensive. If you are free, you can throw them both!

This is not to let everyone choose a job with less overtime and higher salary near home. After all, there are not many such jobs. It's just that when you choose a high-paying job, you should consider whether the risks, responsibilities and pressures behind this job can be borne by yourself and whether this job is suitable for your current development needs. Lust for the high-paying depression in front of you may lose the whole ocean.

Indeed, a high salary is the lifelong pursuit of many hard-working people. After all, we can't live without daily necessities. But from the meaning of life, it seems that besides material pursuit, we should pursue something.

Work is not only the accumulation of wealth, but also the growth and pattern; Life is not only material satisfaction, but also feelings and horizons.
