preface

During this month, I feel as if I had gone back to my college days. On the one hand, I keep learning and making technical reserves; on the other hand, I rush about for offer. As a person from Hangzhou, I have no external pressure, no debt, and I have the savings of the previous two years. Sounds so good, but, I will still be anxious, because of a long time not working and insomnia, at a loss. If compound interest is the biggest secret to getting rich, consistent cash flow is the key to survival. I don’t want to be the one hanging out at home. Fortunately, days like this can come to an end. I have received the offer of toutiao and will start the next journey soon. Hope to leave the mogujie friends, can find a good home, a bright future.

The body of the

Mushroom street

If the general word is “leave”, to describe leaving a company. So I prefer to use the word “transfer” to describe myself leaving Mushroom Street.

It was my first company after college and the first social university in my life. As an intern, I fell in love with this company. The environment of the whole company is relatively relaxed, and the relationship between people is relatively simple. Moreover, the use of the flower name, when addressing others, always feel a touch of warmth. His flower name, called mo ask, it comes from a sentence – “but do good, don’t ask the future.” Sometimes people make fun of my name. When someone asks you the name of the flower, you always seem out of line to say “don’t ask”.

team

You have a great supervisor who, much like your college mentor, is always interested in your growth and life. When you make a mistake, he doesn’t berate you, but asks you to figure out how to solve the problem in the moment. At the same time, I have also experienced two leaders with two different management styles. One is like a big sister, willing to let you try, guiding you in the general direction without giving you more restrictions. A big Brother is someone who will micromanage you, help you correct your mistakes, push you to grow and think, and give you the opportunity to do things. The only fly in the ointment, is their own business slack, landing ability is not enough, did not play this piece of business.

The development of

I was the luckiest guy in my class. Within half a year of joining the company, I was given the opportunity to be promoted. Later, I got a higher salary and more opportunities to do things. Unfortunately, some of my better friends didn’t get promoted when they quit. I don’t know if Mushroom Street is unfriendly to the front end or if the system itself is flawed. In this regard, Mushroom Street has not done so well. This will bring the loss of talents to Mogujie and affect the long-term development of the company.

social

I made a lot of friends in Mogujie, including those who helped me and guided me at the beginning of the team, as well as those who worked overtime and stayed up late together in development, business side, products and UI. We also have a badminton club, we can go out to play ball every week, and we can have dinner together. It was fun on Mushroom Street. At the end of the year, I participated in the annual performance, entered the world, the hip-hop I used to like, picked up again, to perform on the stage, is also a different experience. Thank you for your tolerance in the process of cooperation, your professionalism in the process of reviewing requirements, and your laughing and joking in the process of working overtime. Of course, there will be some people you don’t like in your work life, who don’t speak mindfully and are double-faced. My rule with these people is to avoid approaching and communicate only when necessary.

business

Mogujie’s business development in recent years is not ideal, which can be reflected in the stock price. Since I joined the company, the strategy of the company has always changed, and so has the organizational structure. Especially after the listing, a large number of executives leave, directly or indirectly lead to a number of businesses offline. In fact, what capital likes to hear is a story. Mogujie did not tell the story of livestream e-commerce from beginning to end. If speaking well, perhaps, this time is a different situation. The infirmity and hesitancy of the strategic transformation have led the company to go round in circles, unable to expand its business vigorously. As for the whole company atmosphere, you wait until you leave, you will hear someone say that there is no company in Hangzhou that can be so relaxed. Probably is this kind of slack, led to the lack of executive force. Before, I saw a video on B website, which said that the originator of live streaming e-commerce was Mushroom Street. When I saw this, I felt sorry for the mushroom street. Obviously, the first to develop this new business, but let Taobao seized the body. However, I hope that this year is still blowing the wind of livestreaming e-commerce, mogujie can set sail again, sail far. From a user’s point of view, mogujie’s live broadcast shopping experience is really much better than other e-commerce. At the same time, I am very optimistic about the small program live shopping direction. I do not know whether there will be a company, can imitate Pinduoduo, in the flow pool of wechat, kill a live e-commerce company. However, when I left Mogujie, the live broadcast of the small program was not taken seriously, too few people maintained, and the demand version couldn’t keep up with the client version.

departure

Mogujie, a conscientious company, offered N+1.5 compensation. Maybe it’s because of the big downsizing. The faces of the people who left were happy and excited, and so were they. In fact, this time I’m stepping out of my comfort zone passively. Before, I was always unable to think out of the business, nor did I make great progress in technology. Only this kind of passive leave, will let oneself feel crisis, and then go to study hard. Looking back, I was wrong. The study of technology is a persistent process. They need to maintain a sense of crisis, in times of peace, can not slack off. At the same time, I will also think about the financial crisis this year. According to the change of the economic cycle, if ten years later, he encountered the same situation, is it possible to prepare for the interview as calmly as now, the probability is not good. Ten years later, I have a house, a car and a child, corresponding to mortgage, car loan and education. The pressure at that time, can be imagined, therefore, I need to make a long-term plan to prevent this scene from reoccurring. During the interview, I talked with an interviewer about this question. He was a CTO of a small company, and his ability level was probably ali P8/P9. The experience I was given was how to pick the core business and how to control it. After understanding his ideas, I further thought about how to do a growing business and make it a core business. This probably requires a person’s ability, execution and business acumen. You should try to be that person.

In the end, it’s time to say goodbye. After all, Hangzhou circle is so small, you can go to the company is only a few, there will be opportunities to work together. I wish you all the best in your career.

Bytes to beat

Bytedance, in its own mind, has always been a company with strong execution, as can be seen from products such as Toutiao and Douyin. Its ability to grasp the wind is not not strong. I can join such a company, the heart is also a little excitement, a little uneasy and a kind of expectation. Excited, because they have such a big platform, can show themselves; Uneasy, because headlines have too many excellent people, their ability and potential will not be able to keep pace with others; Look forward to, because I will always be a person who believes that efforts will be rewarded, looking forward to this kind of return.

The outside world’s opinion of the headlines is undoubtedly the size of the week, the intensity of the work and so on. Their views on the headlines may be more rational, because they are willing to accept 996 blessing. The same pay, will produce the same return, I hope they can do so, while they are young, but also endure, earn more pension money, quickly accumulate original capital. In this way, in the future life, with ease.

A new journey is about to begin. In the future, I will work hard and struggle with my previous thinking. I don’t want to walk into the comfort zone again and feel the taste of being eliminated again. Perhaps, this time is the biggest challenge to oneself.

The extraordinary birth year will certainly lead us into a new stage.
