I am not a technology guru, and I can say that the starting point is lower than most people in the industry (the first degree is high school), but I still think it is necessary to summarize the three years of experience in the front of the heart process, so that I have a clearer understanding of life, perhaps can also give some inspiration to people who have similar experience.

The front end before

Due to family factors, I did not go to university after graduating from a key high school in the city in 2012. After that, I started to work outside the village just like other young people. During the experience of a variety of, the job has changed a lot, but because of the youth without experience, always do not know what the direction of life is, for this has been confused.

Perhaps there is a certain level of confusion, and inspiration will come out and tell you the way forward. That is 15 years when working in dongguan, HOW do I worry about the job after? How to have a better future? I looked at all the jobs listed on job boards and asked myself, If you could do one of these things for the rest of your life, what would it be? I ended up programming. It wasn’t out of nowhere that I wanted to make a career out of programming, as I was constantly learning new things in cloud classes (to make up for not going to college) and learning about programming.

Behind has been groping in the way of programming, first self-study C, Java, but because there is no guide, once read a book to watch video what, but did not feel how much they learned, and even do not know how to get employment in the future. Later, I attended a training class in Shenzhen. Many people may think that training is a bad experience, but for those who have pursuit, I would like to say that “a gentleman’s nature is not different, and he is good at faking things”.

For the training before and after I will not tell, I believe that where there is a will, there is a way, your efforts will make you more outstanding, it will be more recognized by others, the work will be easier to land. And THROUGH this experience, I stumbled into the front end of the job, the front end of the door opened.

New Work history

The process of finding a job was not smooth. I learned Java in the training class, but at last I went to the front end of the interview, which lasted for more than a month and was confirmed after more than 20 interviews.

The first company

My first front-end job was at a small company in Shenzhen, where I stayed the longest, more than three years. The company is not big, at the beginning of more than 20 people, but the personnel is relatively complete, the back end, front end, UI, products, testing, the basic have some, AT the beginning I was fearful, treading on thin ice, for fear of what went wrong, lose this job. However, as time went by, I gradually adapted to and became competent for the work due to my own efforts. I also became the head of the front end of the company, responsible for the main development, task allocation, front end recruitment and other tasks.

In terms of technology, from the front and back end of the separation, to the front and back end of separation; From multiple pages to single pages; From jQuery to MVVM Framework (VUE). Although the company is not large, there is no senior who can give front-end technical guidance at work, so I basically rely on my own exploration, but this is still the stage where I gain the most.

Another thing worth mentioning is that I started to write technical blog and made some JS plug-ins summarized in my work on GitHub(Weijhfly), which helped me gain some fans and stars, and also made me more confident on the road of front-end.

Second company

The second one was Tencent Outsourcing, and I worked in Tencent through human outsourcing. I wanted to ignore this experience, because I only went there for a month and then resigned. However, I actually miss this experience. I have always been longing for a big factory, because my education is limited. After all, I cannot work in Tencent directly, so human resources outsourcing is undoubtedly a choice.

In Tencent, I saw the way dachang’s front end team works, and a number of excellent people are still working so hard. The leaders and mentors are also very good. However, due to the nature of outsourcing and the persuasion of my former colleagues, I agreed to work in their company, so I resigned from Tencent outsourcing post.

now

When I came to work in the company where my former colleague was working, the technical team was not large, the workload was not large, and I had a little more leisure time, but I did not want to gradually wear away my upward thought. I hope that while doing my job well, I can learn more about the technology and be more productive on the technology blog and GitHub.

Some thoughts for yourself

“Learning without thought is useless; thought without learning is perilous.” I like reading very much, and reading should be my lifelong habit. From some books I read recently and my life experience, I think that people should have a “vision” and develop a good judgment on the unknown things.

Although our own judgment may not be very insightful, but to ask ourselves, to have a vision of the future, is undoubtedly the best thing we can do to control life.

A little idea of what to do

So far, I have been deeply impressed by an article written by Dr. Liang Sheng: “To programmers, there is a very important idea in it:” To do things in line with the world’s best “. Even if it is a small thing, setting high goals, demanding perfection, from the work of the bit by bit to improve themselves, is not an effective way to improve themselves.

About the record of formal schooling

Record of formal schooling is my present and future undoubtedly one big obstacle, cast resume of a wave, because record of formal schooling 10 be rejected 8 or 9 also not strange, unit of choose and employ persons admits unified recruit specialized subject above record of formal schooling only mostly. However, it doesn’t mean that I don’t care about my ability at all. According to my last interview experience, I had 10 effective interviews and got 5 offers, both from small and medium-sized companies. Basically, I could not worry about work, but I still worry about good jobs.

A vision of the future

I hope that I can have the opportunity to be like Berwin, 360’s leader in the front end. Although my academic background is not high, I can also study in Dachang and have more harvest in the front end.

Finally, I would like to encourage you to read this article, “the road is long, I see no end, I will search high and low”.
