Why do college students go to a big company for their first job?

Are fresh graduates going to big companies or small companies? This is a problem. Large companies have more money, good welfare and security, but limited room for growth; Small companies have great room for growth, a free system and a sense of ownership. With luck, catching up with the 20 1 1 meituan, the 20 13 Didi Headline, and the 20 16 mobike or ofo will have a very good development. But for college students who are about to enter the workplace, going to a big company like BAT is undoubtedly the best choice.

What is a big company and what is a small company? Everyone has his own definition and judgment. There is no definition here. I just feel OK.

So, what are the advantages of college students' first job in a big company?

1, more money, higher salary starting point.

From the perspective of the Internet industry as a whole, the salaries of large companies are much higher than those of ordinary medium-sized and early-stage startups. After all, for a giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars like Alibaba and Tencent, the annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars is Mao Mao rain for them, but for a small company that has successfully raised millions of dollars, the annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars is unimaginable.

In the autumn of 20 17, the annual salary of talents in AI and big data offered by large Internet companies including Google, Microsoft and BAT was more than 500,000 yuan, and the salary of engineers with master's degrees was more than 200,000 yuan, and that of undergraduates was close to 200,000 yuan. Take the example around me as an example. In 20 16, an operation girl joined a BAT family as an intern. After becoming a full member, her annual salary was around150,000, and rose to 200,000 a year later. Both the starting salary and the salary increase are acceptable. If she goes to an ordinary small company and does the same operation, the monthly salary in the first year is estimated to be between 6 and 8 K, and it will rise to 10K at most after one year, and the gap is still obvious.

2, good treatment, various benefits.

After these years of development, the welfare benefits of large companies are still relatively good: full payment of social security accumulation fund, supplementary medical insurance, paid annual leave of more than one year 10, and league construction at home and abroad at least once a year, which many small companies cannot meet. In order to avoid tax, small companies usually pay insurance and provident fund according to the minimum standards, so it is good to have five days of annual leave a year.

In addition, large companies headed by BAT can provide some settlement indicators for outstanding fresh graduates from Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and also provide some qualified employees with hidden benefits such as work residence permits and interest-free loans. These are very important for Beipiao who lives in Beijing. In addition, free breakfast, free fruit, overtime taxi reimbursement and other small favors are also attractive to college students who have just entered the workplace.

3. Guarantee and perfect system.

It would be better for big companies to guarantee. Although the rapid development of the Internet industry has caused many practitioners to be impetuous and change jobs frequently, both companies and individuals still want to stay in a company for two or three years instead of changing jobs frequently. At this time, the advantages of large companies are clearly realized. If you can graduate from the core departments of a company, such as Baidu's Big Search, Ali's Taobao, Tmall and Tencent's QQ WeChat, as long as your ability is not particularly bad, it is no problem to stay for three years. Even if you go to the marginal departments or new business lines of these big companies, even if the product is cut off, you still have the opportunity to transfer to other departments of the company and take another 10 thousand steps back. Once a small company encounters a capital chain break or business transformation, you will be laid off directly, and there may be no compensation of N+ 1.

4, can learn, with Daniel.

Many people may say that big companies are very mature, and a radish is a pit. If your superior has not been promoted or left, you will never become that superior, but this applies to those "old people" who have many years of experience. For college graduates, large companies are full of talents, whether it is products, technology or operations. Under their leadership and guidance, your working ability can be greatly improved. When you make a product with hundreds of millions of users, the problems you encounter, the understanding of products and users, and the grasp of the whole industry are completely different from those when you make a product with tens of thousands of users.

At the same time, there will be various promotion channels in big companies, such as expert posts and management posts designed by Baidu and Ali. When you reach a certain level, you can be chosen as the manager to lead the team; You can also become an expert or an architect, focusing on the research of technology and products. Although small companies seem to have a lot of room for development, on the one hand, leaders are busy with their own affairs and have little energy and time to take you. On the other hand, the probability of sudden death of small companies is too high. In recent years, it is very common for a company to die in a year and a half.

5, broaden your horizons and feel refreshed.

In big companies, you can often find all kinds of Daniel in your department that you have admired for a long time, and all kinds of top student in Tsinghua, Peking University, Harvard and Stanford. Over time, you will find how awesome it is that you can be on an equal footing with these big cows. At the same time, when you have some experience, there will be various knowledge sharing platforms to invite you to give lectures to younger schoolmates. You must feel tall and useful to society. This is something that ordinary small companies can't satisfy. Haven't you noticed that all kinds of knowledge sharing platforms are employees of big companies such as former Baidu operation manager (yes, next), former Ali product expert and former Tencent senior product manager?

So I advise all college students who are about to graduate, if there is an opportunity, it is best to go to a big company for their first job and stay for a while. If I want to add a deadline to this deadline, I hope it will be at least three years.

As for how to get to a big company, that's the next question.
