Today, I will share my real experience and talk about the salary pit that is easy to appear when looking for a job, hoping to help my friends who are looking for a job.
First of all, it's about basic salary.
I remember when I just graduated, I always had high expectations for the basic salary. I feel that my education is not low and my skills are not bad, so I should be able to find a well-paid job.
However, when I started to submit my resume and went for an interview, I found that the basic salary was far lower than I expected. At this time, I understood a truth: when entering the workplace, the basic salary is not necessarily too high, but it depends on the development potential and welfare benefits of the company.
Some companies may not have a high basic salary, but providing rich training and promotion opportunities is also a good choice for newcomers. Therefore, when considering the basic salary, we should not only look at the figures, but also comprehensively consider the company's development prospects and other welfare benefits.
The second is about overtime and overtime pay.
I used to work in a small company. At that time, I had to work overtime every day, but there was no extra overtime pay. At first, I thought it was normal. After all, the company is small and everyone is struggling.
But as time went on, I found that my work intensity and quality of life were affected. Later, I learned that according to the labor law, overtime pay is required, and even small companies cannot deprive employees of their legitimate rights and interests.
Therefore, when choosing a job, you must ask the company's overtime policy to ensure that your efforts can be reasonably rewarded.
Third, it is about bonuses and benefits.
Some companies brag about various bonuses and benefits when recruiting, which makes people shine. However, we must carefully verify whether these commitments can be fulfilled.
I used to work in a company, and they promised a generous year-end bonus, but at the end of the year they shirked it for various reasons, which made people very depressed.
Therefore, before signing the contract, all benefits and bonuses must be clearly written, and it is best to have written documents as the basis. In this way, even if there is a problem in the later stage, it is well documented.
The last pit is not understanding the market. Sometimes, we overestimate or underestimate our value. If you don't know the salary level of your industry, it is easy to lose money in salary negotiation.
I once made this mistake, thinking that I could get a higher salary, and I missed a good job opportunity. Later, I learned that the salary of this position is already the high level of the market. Therefore, before looking for a job, you must know the salary level of your industry in order to negotiate the salary better.
Beibei has something to say:
To sum up, when looking for a job, there are basic salary, overtime pay and welfare benefits. Choose carefully, not only by looking at the figures in front of you, but also by considering the development prospects of the company and the protection of employees' rights and interests.
I hope my experience and suggestions can help everyone, step on the pit less in the workplace and find a satisfactory job. No matter where you are, you should believe in your own value, keep working hard and pursue a better quality of life. I wish everyone can find an ideal job, work happily and live happily!
