Since the organization of the product discussion group, I have been constantly asked "if I want to change industries/enter the Internet **** position, should I study by myself or sign up for training courses?"Copy the code

Scattered to a lot of students have answered this problem, today I want to sum up this problem, so that later encountered the same problem of the students have a reference. To be honest, writing this topic may touch the interests of some training classes, but after all, no one should notice me.

Say my point of view first: my refusal everybody signs up for a class!

Reason 1:

No matter which position in the Internet industry, you are required to be smart and diligent! The specific reason is that the Internet is a high-speed development of the industry, only smart people can quickly master all kinds of new skills, only diligent people can have a strong self-driven ability to take the initiative to learn; Such employees are loved by the company, but also can stand out in the rapid development of the industry, can grow into a great talent!

If you look at the top performers in the industry, you will find that those are either excellent graduates from key universities in China, or excellent students who are themselves super smart and hardworking, such as You Yuxi, author of Vue.

So you want to enter the line, please ensure that you can have the motivation to continue learning and to ensure that they are practical and diligent enough;

Of course, any industry is not only composed of cattle, not smart, not diligent if you are willing to be a low-level employee can also mix down, but if you start with such a mentality may be difficult to enter this industry. You should understand the reason, no extraordinary technology, no want to become a big ox determination, just want to dawdle, mixed wages, why others want to give you this opportunity! ?

** Summary: ** smart, diligent when the big bull, if you want to enter the industry must have hard work, the momentum of continuous learning. Otherwise, no way!

Reason two:

Recently, the popularity of online education and the intermingled quality of offline training institutions have led to the fact that Internet companies are not optimistic about the students trained by cramming crash education institutions (this is not the prejudice of the Internet industry, but the summary of experience after many interviews with students of training institutions).

Students from training institutions may learn better technology is ok, but many of these so-called better students are also able to solve problems; But do not know the cause of the problem or encounter the variation of the problem may not start. This may be due to the quick question bank in the training class or the teacher’s interview questions. Many questions can hardly be really mastered by rote memorization in a short time if they are not experienced enough in work.

Conclusion: Either you are not good enough; Either you’re “good at it” and don’t have a lot of practical problem-solving skills, so your organization won’t give you the opportunity to try and learn. Because there are a lot of experienced people in the society yeah, why use you as an inexperienced one?

Three reasons:

Signing up for class may not be as good as you imagine, but it has given you a hard lesson in life! There are a lot of unscrupulous training agencies going to colleges to trick students into signing up for classes, but of course Internet people know about marketing, know who needs these things and can find them. Several netizens around me have personally experienced that training classes to recruit students from schools, let first apply for loans from the Internet, learn to repay in installments after a year on the line, advocate how high the salary of graduates and so on. Fool those college students who have no social experience. Anyway, whether you study well or not, you have applied for the loan and the money has been put into the account of the training institution. How about you, whether you find a job or not? You have to pay back the money when it’s due!!

There are many similar product manager training program, to tell the truth I feel the training course is product manager training, because they know all the marketing and operations, does not need any costs, pull a few products partners used her played a few years working in Internet company said myself what xx company senior product manager or director. Come out to xx classroom, XX live platform class teaching! This is the ultimate shamelessness. In fact, I teach a lot of product tools, such as Axure, MindManager, Sketch and so on!

If you are a product manager or want to work as a product manager, don’t sign up for these classes early. Tools are the least valuable stuff. Have you ever seen a programmer teach people how to use an editor? ! Because the tool itself is not competitive, the core competitiveness of the product manager is your understanding of the product, the grasp of the product process, the understanding of the product business model and industry level.

Being a product manager requires in-depth research or experience in a particular industry. For example, financial products, if you do not understand financial products, futures, spot, funds, stocks do not understand that you are just a copy of the east and west functional product manager, really do not understand financial products; At present, many companies in the industry are not only product managers including designers are also facing the same problem, are brainless copy copy! Can see phoenix X finance, Beijing X finance and so on, our unit also does finance, the design also does not have brain copy them. Helpless!! What a joke!

Conclusion: Most of the time, training class is just a way for others to make a living, you may not learn what you want; (Or if you don’t know what’s important and what to study, don’t sign up for classes)

Are you confused, but tools I don’t know how I should start??

If you can’t learn the tools, give it a rest! Should learn to read documentation, such as Axure any original online has detailed text tutorials or special video tutorials; If you don’t have the ability to learn, you really can’t believe how well you can learn the product. You’re missing the point.
