How to judge whether a company is worth jumping ship? Since you plan to jump ship, you should consider "where to jump" and whether "the next company" is worth jumping ship and giving up your familiar working environment and colleagues. Let's share how to judge whether a company is worth jumping ship.
How to judge whether a company is worth job-hopping 1 Job-hopping means having some work experience, knowing your own ability and development direction, and you will have more considerations when choosing your next home: mature large enterprises with strong corporate culture, standardized management and perfect system, but limited space for self-development; Although everything needs to be improved, the development space of startups is huge. Do you want to join a mature company or a fast-growing startup? It depends on your own preferences and comfort.
1, working rhythm
Needless to say, startups work much faster than mature companies. Everything requires "fast, fast", but we often encounter all kinds of problems when rushing, not only with great rhythm, but also with great pressure. Everything in a mature enterprise has a mature system, and the work can be done according to the process, which will be relatively easy.
Working in a startup doesn't necessarily mean that you take work as the focus of your life. You should expect to work more than 40 hours a week, and don't expect this to become an important concern. The atmosphere of dynamic entrepreneurship may sometimes be more stressful (such as website failure), but it is also more exciting, and often more functions are introduced, and such differences and environments are only attractive to some people.
2. Group
In a mature enterprise, every project usually has a fixed team running. Even if a new project needs to form a new team, those members are familiar with each other. If you want to join this team, you will face many problems and may not be familiar with this project.
Although in a startup, you may (or may not) control the selection of projects, the fast working pace of a startup means that even if you are not interested in the first project assigned, you are likely to be assigned to other projects, and all members are "new" and easier to enter than the old team.
3. Risk
Compared with the stable operation and mature salary system of mature enterprises, you are likely to accept salary reduction in a startup company in exchange for more equity, but in a startup company that has successfully completed the first round of venture capital financing, there is actually not much risk, so that you have to live in an office or eat instant noodles for a living. Of course, start-ups may have the risk of failure, but in mature companies, there are similar risks, such as the project you are engaged in may not progress or be fired.
4. Interpersonal communication
If you are considering setting up your own startup in the future, working in a startup provides you with a good opportunity to join the entrepreneurial circle. But it will be a bit difficult to find similar network opportunities in mature enterprises.
Which is wiser to choose between start-ups and mature companies? It's up to you. I will say that I have personally worked in both large mature companies and small start-ups and I find it difficult to go back to work in large mature companies where the pace of work is not as fast as that of start-ups.
5. Development space
People in the workplace can think more about the future after working for a period of time. Where can you be, what can you do and where can you go in the future. In mature enterprises, promotion is very difficult, because there are "suitable people" in all positions. Start-ups are different. Anything is possible. Depends on your appetite.
How to judge whether a company is worth jumping ship? 2 Job-hopping must be carefully planned first.
In fact, there are no strict standards for job-hopping. Career experts believe that job-hopping is not conducive to people accumulating experience and skills. But in some cases, job-hopping can stimulate a person's career development potential.
For example, the IT industry is a very serious job-hopping industry. No industry changes jobs as frequently as people do. The purpose of jumping around is just high salary.
Because this industry is still an industry where young people gather in the short term, experience has become a scarce resource in the industry. In the same position, people with work experience have more competitive advantages than those without work experience.
The more times you quit your job five years after graduation, the more work experience you gain, so it is not a "peak reward" but a "reward" state. When others get a 5%- 15% salary increase from a good company every year, your trampling is actually "water flowing downwards".
First of all, I need to remind you that only through rational choice and planned job hopping can we truly achieve the goal of enhancing our own value. Frequent and aimless job-hopping will inevitably reduce your loyalty to the enterprise and affect your future career development.
Second, you need two months to prepare for accurate job-hopping. Because job-hopping is a career choice, both of which are aimed at achieving higher goals.
There are three points worth noting about the job-hopping plan:
1, status quo analysis, rationally analyze your past professional performance, which is recognized by your boss, which makes you feel a sense of accomplishment, and what you like and are good at; Analyze the problems in your past work: not good interpersonal relationships, or some work content that you don't like; List the parts you don't like, the problems in personal relationships, and your views on the development of the industry. Analysis should be objective and rational. Analysis can help you understand what you are doing.
Job-hopping plan is actually a part of career planning. When you feel that the goal of job-hopping is unclear and uncertain, it also shows that you lack career planning. When you feel it is necessary and you are sure to make a change, you should consider what is the goal of job-hopping.
When setting career change goals, we should pay attention to avoiding problems that cannot be changed in our future career. You should grasp the principle of fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses to set goals, including what position you should be in, which industry you choose and what company you can enter. When you set a job-hopping goal, you can break it. You shouldn't pursue perfection.
3. The initiative is only an analysis of the current situation, but the ideas and ideals are still insufficient. The success of change is still a rational action. This change will inevitably face some new challenges and difficulties. If you do well in interviews in unfamiliar industries and positions, you need to have the courage to change. Don't be discouraged in the face of short-term rejection. And can strategically prepare their own relevant job hunting skills, including relevant training, resume, interview skills, etc. ..
