Three true stories, slightly rewritten to avoid being seated, maybe you can find the shadow of your colleagues around you.
Small: transferred from iOS development department to product manager.
20 12, I graduated from a company and worked as an iOS developer for more than a year.
In the second half of 20 13, he entered company b to do iOS development.
At the end of 20 14, the products were transferred to other positions, and the product registration volume was about 1 10,000. During more than half a year as a product manager, I met a group of colleagues who cooperated happily, which was the fastest stage of product post progress. Finally, because I didn't grasp the rhythm in the process of operating activities, I made mistakes that I shouldn't have made, which hurt the users and affected the rhythm of the whole team. At the same time, the boss was not satisfied with my work during that time. After an unforgettable heart-to-heart, he left reluctantly.
Boss is a PM from BAT, and there is also a PM who is willing to take me. Did not grasp more promotion opportunities. At that time, I felt very heavy and regretted it. This product job has put me in a trough. After leaving my job, I summed up the reasons for my failure, and with the determination to learn from these mistakes, I encouraged myself to work harder, pay more attention and make myself better at a new starting point.
In the middle of 20 15, I entered company c, and the product went through the process from 0 to 1, so I didn't mention the number of users and hung up before I started to promote it in a small scale. At the beginning of 20 16, when the whole team had put the planned products online and waited for small-scale promotion iteration, Boss told the team that the financing failed and it was unable to support them. On hearing this news, Xiao A 1 didn't say a word for an hour, and was immersed in the shadow for a week. Then after disbanding the team, it experienced the tear between love and law, and finally solved everyone's problems. In the winter of 20 16, we witnessed the warmth and human touch of this first-tier city, witnessed the difficulty of starting a business, and witnessed the smallness and hardship of our group of people struggling in first-tier cities. Holding your partner's mentality and the determination to learn from your mistakes, the result is so miserable. To sum up, everyone has a kind heart, but reality played a joke on me.
More than a year on the product road was not smooth, such as riding a roller coaster and turning sharply, accompanied by anxiety and heartbeat. However, the most important thing is to break through yourself and not wait for death.
In a word, although I am confident to face my next job now, I found my own shortcomings in the process of applying for a job. I can understand that it is difficult for hr to give an interview when he sees such a dull resume in his four-year career.
Little B: 2 1 1 University, product manager of Genzheng Hong Miao.
Graduated from a famous university in 2009 2 1 1. After graduation, I went directly to a BAT company and worked as a product assistant for core products. Actually, I did everything, even buying coffee for my boss. I just joined the work and have a strong interest in playing. I have participated in various club activities of the company, and all departments know some people. I didn't expect the colleagues I met at this time to bring convenience to my work, especially the cross-departmental communication.
From 20 10 to 20 13, the overall development of the company is good, and the revenue performance of the department has increased significantly. The original tutor, who is also the head of the department, was promoted to the director. Xiao B is still young and has not been promoted to the leadership, but he has already started to bring new people. Two graduates followed him, and now he is a serious product manager. And because of his active participation in company activities, Xiao B is still young.
At the beginning of 20 14, after three product projects, Xiao B finally passed the examination of the rank channel, obtained the rank of senior product manager and was appointed as the team leader.
At the end of 20 14, an external opportunity came, and a second-tier internet company threw an olive branch. The biggest temptation is that the position of product director and salary increase exceed expectations, as if going to a vast world. After two months of struggle, I finally jumped ship. Who knows, after the past, I encountered various problems, especially the running-in of the team, which was tossed for half a year and did nothing.
At the end of 20 15, the company that is about to start a business with former BAT colleagues was invited to join as a partner. After careful consideration, I broke in while I was young, so I embarked on the road of entrepreneurship.
Little c: the BATtle of bat in second-tier companies
"Actually, I went to the first company because I didn't get the company offer I wanted to go to, so I can only choose this company." After two years of practical work as a product manager, Xiao C finally jumped to the BAT she always wanted to go to.
This is also a career development curve to save the country. Graduates like Xiao C who quit after two years of work have an obvious upward trend. Many second-tier internet companies have a serious brain drain. One of the reasons is that business development restrictions are not enough to give young people a faster development speed and imagination. In addition, the dream of BAT at graduation has always been unforgettable, so second-tier Internet companies have become the Whampoa Military Academy of BAT. In addition, Xiao C said that the project he did in the first company put too much emphasis on revenue, which was somewhat different from his product dream, so he planned to find new opportunities.
Comments on Blues: The above three stories originated from friends that Blues knew. Although the company name is not specified, I think many people can guess that the protagonists of the story are all under 30 years old and their careers are still developing.
First of all, it's actually quite good for Xiao to transfer from the development department to the product manager. I remember Ma said before that it is more welcome to transfer from technology to product manager. He has experienced setbacks in some companies and can gain a lot of experience. When I was young, I experienced setbacks in starting a business, and the hardships of struggling in first-tier cities were much stronger than that of starting from scratch at the age of 33. He has the development foundation and product experience, and I believe he will find a better start. This time, he should consider the probability of success.
Second, little B is the lucky one. He entered a famous BAT company from 265,438+065,438+0 school. After five years of experience in a big company, he laid a good foundation and accumulated rich contacts after work. It is a lucky career start, and the setbacks in the middle are also the growth process from young to mature. Six years after graduation is a good time to start a business.
Third, Xiao C has the shortest professional experience and develops well in the early stage of growth. Look at the opportunity at this time, don't just look at the salary temptation of thousands of dollars. Ability improvement and opportunity are more important than salary.
