Where Does The Employee Go In The Face Of The Salary Gap?

Unlike many people, this

The salary gap makes me hesitate.

Transformation of a IT technology backbone

Zi Hao (a pseudonym), 30 years old, former senior technician of a large high-tech group company.

In the first few years after graduation, he had a short working experience in several small companies. Later, because of an occasional opportunity, he entered a well-known high-tech company in the field of technology by virtue of his strong learning and professional enthusiasm.

For more than 3 years, he has been thinking about the company and doing his best in his job. He has won the praise and recognition from his colleagues.

But with the gradual repetition of work content and the increasingly clear development prospects, he found his enthusiasm and patience for this job slowly fading away.

Until the next thing happened, he finally made the decision to leave.

Zi Hao said, "I can not stand this time.

The story goes like this:

Experts say: the spirit of innovation is an important quality of a professional person.

However, if we want to realize its value, we must conform to the speed of the organization's development. Otherwise, this innovation will inevitably be labeled as "restless".

Zi Hao said: in the past few years of career experience, I found that consultancy type work is the most suitable career direction for me.

For Zi Hao, such an outcome will happen sooner or later. He has already made preparations and started thinking about the way to go before long.

People around him know that Zi Hao is a person who likes to think. He also likes to help others voluntarily. He is willing to spread his knowledge and experience from his work, life and books to others, so that others can be improved and perfected.

In his original working environment, his characteristics often appear as a conflict and difficult to integrate with the environment.

Thus, in recent years, a new profession -- consultant, has entered the vision of Zi Hao and has become the preferred goal of his career pformation.

The expert's words: it is a valuable way of thinking for a professional person to be able to think deeply and find out what his characteristics are.

However, this is only a preliminary understanding of myself, and there is still much information to be grasped about career orientation.

Zi Hao said: but if I enter the consulting industry now, only half of my income now, Haagen Dazs's instant coffee is changing for instant coffee.

Such a "price drop" is too horrible!

At present, Zi Hao is negotiating with a consulting company. The company is also willing to accept his new member, but the salary he can provide falls far behind his psychological bottom line. Only half of the company's communication results are similar.

The huge gap has thrown him into deep contradictions: the old industry is too familiar and too rigid, but it can give him high income to maintain the current taste of life; the new industry can see very good prospects for development, give him the platform to play his own characteristics, but to throw away the quality of life that he already owns, and his own house and car also bring himself a bank that can not afford to offend the creditors, and the account receipts are half less, so that Zi Hao's heart is straight.

This determination is really hard.

The expert's words: a new industry + a new industry, even if it is difficult to join hands with the high quality, high indebted living conditions, the short-term liquidity gap is inevitable.

In front of Zi Hao, there is a conflict between long-term goals and short-term returns.

Is the solution to the contradiction only long or short? Is there any overhanging bridge that has not yet been discovered?

The way to realize the career direction of Zi Hao:

Career direction: Yes! Consultant type occupation!

According to Zi Hao's evaluation report and in-depth communication, we find Zi Hao's career orientation for him is very suitable for him.

In addition to some of his own characteristics, he likes challenges, boredom, interest in unknown things, active logical thinking ability, etc., which are more consistent with the characteristics of consulting industry, especially those who are good at thinking deeply and like helping others.

Ways to achieve: one step or gradual road!

One step in place: that is, the simultaneous conversion of the industry profession and the thorough entry into the new industry of consulting industry.

This requires great determination and courage, because the pformation is not only the risk of occupational pformation itself, but also inevitably faces the fall of material income over a period of time, and the existing living condition and quality will also be affected to a certain extent.

But once we pass this period, we will get long-term and smooth development prospects, and the income level will also be greatly improved. The return rate of job pformation is high and the risk is high.

The gradual path: that is, career conversion N jump, the first job conversion, and then the industry pformation, during the period may have experienced: the original industry occupation conversion to industry conversion to new industry occupation conversion three steps.

As a result, it is possible to pform the career of the consultant to the consulting industry, or to stay in a consultative profession in the process of pformation.

This way is characterized by soft pformation, uneven fluctuations in all aspects, low return on career change and low risk.

Expert advice: gradual road! Combined with the age and personality characteristics of Zi Hao, and insisting on the quality of life, it is suggested that he choose a safe way to realize roundabout.

First of all, choose the profession with the nature of consultants in the original industry as the starting point of career pformation.

Career choices include pre sales consultant, after-sale consultant, marketing (Planning), technical support and so on.

Postscript: 3 months later, I saw him again in my client's visit. His confidence and happiness told me everything I wanted to know.

Expert motto: there are all kinds of difficulties and temptations hidden in the direction of career direction to the bright future.
