Yesterday’s articleHow do young people choose their job opportunities“, some readers said that they should go to the core department of the company, not to the edge department, not to the leisure department. Rather than go to the core department of small enterprises, rather than the marginal departments of large enterprises.
I think this topic is quite typical, so I will open an article.
First, did I stop you from going to the core department?
My article is about making more choices and looking at other positions. Why, this year’s employment situation is difficult, right? I said the core department, don’t go to the core position, don’t post your resume? I said you should look at other positions and add some career choices to yourself.
Second, will you judge the core department?
Many newcomers to the workplace simply don’t know what the core department is, for example, the risk control team, in almost all giants, is definitely the core department, but many newcomers to the workplace don’t even know this position.
Many people know that research and development, products, operation and maintenance, data analysis, and data analysis have only become popular in recent years.
If you can’t judge what is the core department, you can put in more resumes, or you can strengthen your understanding of the industry and enterprises, right or wrong.
Third, is the core department fixed?
The so-called core team and core department change dynamically at different stages of the enterprise, understand?
I can give you examples of almost all the old giants.
Ali was first used to provide corporate services. Taobao was initially an experimental team, right? The goal was to stop eBay. At that time, did you say Taobao is the core department? Who knows what this is. At the beginning of Aliyun, there were various internal oppositions to all kinds of scolding. How many people could not stay and change jobs or resign, now you dare to say that Aliyun is not a core team, and it is out of it.
Tencent has been relying on CRBT and MMS for several years. At that time, the mobile value-added service was the company’s job. Are you saying that it is the core team? Now what is the mobile value-added service in Tencent?
At that time, foxmail was sold to Tencent only tens of millions of RMB, which is RMB. In terms of Tencent’s status, Zhang Xiaolong favored one another. From the perspective of young people, he couldn’t even get into the company’s headquarters. Did you say that it was the core team? Later, he took over the Tencent Post Office. Was beaten by Netease Post Office.
Later, Zhang Xiaolong got the post office up and status, but at this time it can only be said to be a good business team, until WeChat turned over, and now it is half of Tencent. At the beginning of WeChat, it was internal competition, right, several teams were doing mobile together, and mobile QQ was also doing it. As a result, WeChat became. You said that the WeChat team is now the core team. What did you see?
Tencent Soso did not pay enough attention to that year, and the capital under Tencent was not much. As a result, did the strong man break his wrist?
Baidu has more examples. Baidu’s earliest core team was the enterprise search service team. Baidu relied on this for the first few years. The financing was also based on this persuasive investor. When it went public, it was abolished and abolished. It’s gone, it’s abolished. I said later that I have a deep memory. Baidu has excellent teams of the two annual conferences, namely Baidu Japan and Baidu. How are these two teams going now? Are they gone? It was a strategic product at the time, and the big boss’s favorite project.
One more thing, Baidu hao123 has been a group under the user product department for many years. Although it has contributed huge wealth to Baidu, the team has no budget and no R&D, just a few product operations staff, and the director wants to fight for them. No outstanding team is qualified, because the boss doesn’t pay attention to it. Later, 360 did a search and suddenly cut 20% of the search market by navigation. The boss was in a hurry, and hao123 quickly expanded from a group to the business department. The business department did not know what resources to give, and the flow purchase budget suddenly soared. Not to mention the R&D resources, the person in charge has changed from an ordinary product manager to a general manager of the business department.
Who won’t be a horse queen? You said that the core team gained a lot and the edge team suffered a lot. The problem is, when you go, you know which cloud will rain.
Many of Tencent’s projects are contested by multiple teams. Even the most fattened Tencent Mutual Entertainment actually has several teams struggling on their own. In fact, byte beating is also the result of drought and waterlogging. If you can see at a glance which team’s products are excellent, what kind of work do you go to, it is not good for you to directly buy stocks to be a stock god.
Did you say that all luck in the workplace? Actually not.
Fourth, it is not difficult to change jobs.
If your abilities are still in the past, you have better reputation in the company, but in fact there are many opportunities for transfer.
When I was at Baidu, I joined the User Products Department, then transferred to the Commercial Products Department, then the newly established Business Analysis Department, and then returned to the User Products Department.
Gao Shaoxing, who was flying with waves, first joined me in the User Products Department on the same day, followed by the Innovation Business Department, and then the Investment Department. Then came his life.
It’s much easier to change jobs in a company than a university, but of course the premise is that your work performance is recognized by someone and your reputation is better. There are indeed cases where no one wants to be transferred. Try not to let yourself fall into such a situation.
At that time, many departments of Baidu were abolished, but excellent talents were transferred. Some people still become the core middle managers of the company after they change jobs. You have to be good enough. Whether the department is the core department or not, you have other options.
Fifth, your job goal is personal growth, not the company’s business itself.
Some marginal departments may not have a sense of presence in the company, or you feel that the work has little sense of accomplishment. In fact, you may not realize that some resources and information at work are very helpful for your growth, especially vision, The growth of the pattern.
The case I always said, I was recruited as a freshman in 2006. At that time, the business analysis department was really a marginal department. At that time, the company did not pay attention to this. I said that business data can open up his eyes to him, and then he stayed at Baidu. For more than ten years, because of the clearness of the company’s business data, and the performance of the work was good, he once became the firefighting team leader in the company. In one or two years, Baidu’s internal anti-corruption dealt with many people. Many department leaders should not be caught. If he was not dismissed, he changed four departments within a year. It was because the former head of the department had an accident and sent him to take over. In the last two years, the title was already the general manager of the business department. .
He can doAt this point, it is not a step-by-step step-by-step promotion within the department, but it can effectively use the information and data obtained on the job to achieve the improvement of the vision and pattern, thereby driving the promotion of the workplace. In fact, there was a young man in the business analysis department, who went later. The business analysis department who actively transferred from the product department was also a freshman at the beginning. The kind who didn’t understand anything was always taken by me. Taunting, but very learnable, I really like to study data and information. Later, he left to go to another Internet unicorn, and then participated in the company’s internal incubation to start a business successfully. Now, um, CEO of a listed company.
“Common workplace problems-sitting in Jinshan without knowing it》. Many people work and feel that what they do is worthless, but in fact they are not aware of digging Information about your work. If you just want to complete the task of the boss, you may feel that this position is boring, the work is too simple, and things are too boring, such as business analysis, what data the boss wants, I provide it. Write SQL every day. , Do reporting, you can also mess around. But if you are curious about business data, and you want to extract value from it, this is completely different.
My previous article was a 2015 article. I came up with a case at the time. At that time, the case was just a small successful entrepreneur. Now, I can’t think of it. I am already a partner of a listed giant. If I knew that, I would go with my thighs. Really, many of my old case studies and the casually mentioned characters are shocked when I look at them every few years. Other old texts have similar examples, so they will not be shown here.
In summary, I hope that young readers, don’t set limits when choosing positions, try to enter the giant, and then the first is to improve their industry awareness, vision and pattern as much as possible; The second is to gain more people’s trust with their own good performance. Under this premise, in fact, you have many opportunities to make a second choice, choose a better position and career promotion opportunities.
