Java training to achieve a monthly salary of 15K, what HAVE I experienced (not advertising)

I am a Java developer who entered the IT industry through training. I am currently working in a technology company in Guangzhou. I am an intermediate Java developer with a monthly salary of 16K. In the same class of graduates, MY level should be in the middle, has been following the footsteps of the big guy.

I entered the IT industry, but also by the guidance and influence of many IT industry predecessors. Among them, the two most important are: Mr. Ren Xiaolong (baidu can search, Mr. Ren has learned the basic Java course three times); Small editor Zeng Niu of Java learning public account (I studied in his public account in my spare time and was influenced by him. I applied for the public account to record my study notes at that time). After I failed in my first Java training, I got the contact information of two seniors through various channels and asked them to give me some guidance, such as: Should I learn Java again? Can I get a job? What kind of organization can learn real technology? Money and time. They are also very patient to give me the answer. It can be said that these two people directly influenced my future career direction and let me become a Java developer.

Deeply influenced by your predecessors, I have today. They are willing to share and help influence others. As someone who has been there before, I want to share my entire journey in the hope that it will help readers. If you have any questions, please friend me and I will be happy to help you answer them. There will not be any advertisement in the process of sharing, including the name of my training school, because I think if the color of advertising is added, the sharing will become unreal. If you want to know the specific details, you can talk to me directly. Here I only share my experience. If you are confused and hesitant, I hope I can help you.

Stage 1: The first two years of college

In 2015, I participated in the college entrance examination, but my high school academic performance was average, and my score was 8 points below the score line. When I chose my major, I had no idea about college major and employment prospect. I chose a major that sounds more ambitious: mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. Thinking about the manufacturing industry to automation transformation, can find a satisfactory job in the future. Unexpectedly, AFTER graduation, I found a job in the manufacturing industry: casting. Because the income is too low, did not adhere to the professional work. More on this later.

Fortunately, I was selected by the first choice of my two universities after careful consideration. I graduated from Yunnan Agricultural University, which ranks the third among the universities in Yunnan province (undeniably, the education level of Yunnan lags behind that of developed coastal provinces). During the first two months of enrollment, I took classes, studied and did homework very seriously. After adapting to the college life, I no longer attach importance to my studies. I sleep in class and play with my cell phone when I don’t sleep at night. Studies abandoned in a complete mess, every final only a goal: 60 minutes long live.

In the second semester of freshman year, I suddenly felt that if I had finished my college career like this, then my life would be like this. With such ideological consciousness, I met the senior students of ishow English training to recruit students. After understanding, I think if I can learn English well, I may be a strong competitiveness in the future job hunting, and I can also pass Cet-4 and CET-6. With this idea, I formed a small English morning reading team with my friends in Agricultural University. From the second semester of freshman year to the second year of sophomore year, I got up at six o ‘clock every morning and studied oral English crazily. In fact, MY college entrance examination English 60 points, English listening test 0 points for the first time, the second time to 12 points. English has always been my pain point, so I want to learn it well. I spent a lot of time in English, but had little effect. In my sophomore year, I took the Cet-4 exam with 252 points (agricultural university freshmen are not allowed to sign up for cet-4 exam). After signing up for two levels of training, I didn’t make any progress, and owing a lot of money for learning English, so I finally gave up learning English. Two training sessions cost my parents 15, 000 yuan, and no results. The training place is In Chenggong, and the travel and board expenses of agricultural university in Panlong District make my life very stiff. Simply poor to doubt life, but also has been in han Poke poke to encourage their own, later will be double earn back. I believe that the teacher cited a successful example, I think I can. Little do they know that the percentage of successful students is very small. So you should never be impressed by the rare success stories in sales. After a year and a half of this, I stopped spending money on training. My goal became to just pass cet-4 and CET-6, and I persisted in the morning reading for a period of time. The score of CET-4 in the second time was 2 points higher than that of the first time. I finally accepted the fact that I was not cut out to learn English. But because of this experience, I was not so afraid of English in the process of learning Java later, and it was easier to pass the novice stage.

In the second semester of sophomore year, the whole process was spent in a state of muddle.

The second stage: junior choice training into the line, but was pit

In the first semester of my junior year, there were many special sessions and lectures in the spring job fair, and I attended them to understand the employment situation. I found that the salary of the mechanical major was not high, and few good companies recruited by the school. Besides, good companies required me to pass the cet-4 and CET-6. All these reasons made my sense of crisis stronger. This time took part in an IT training organization announcement, said at the meeting with the school cooperation, can let the students free to practice for four months, after the internship can be positive work in the IT industry, during the internship can not apply for the school specialized courses (this is all bullshit fool ghost, but I just believed, since thinking is and school cooperation, should be very reliable). Then he cited some successful examples, such as the income and prospects of the IT industry, etc. Of course, what finally let me into the pit is still in the guise of cooperation with the school to my confusion. After filling in the application list, I got to know the knowledge of IT industry through the Internet, and went to the library to look for computer related books. Without the help of the staff in the field, I couldn’t understand the specific work of IT by myself (after all, different industries are just like mountains).

In training orgnization sales personnel of all sorts of evaded under the word art, I signed up, they help me deal with instalment, total price 17980 (alleged free practice, it is to deal with instalment mode of 8+12, before 8 months every month reimbursement 180, after 12 months every month 1600. I had thrown away the contract in a fit of pique, such a foolish thing to do), for me, a student, who had spent his parents’ money on Learning English without success. 17980 is simply a sky-high price. Tuition fees are falsely claimed to be free to parents, and they are deducted from living expenses to pay for learning expenses. It didn’t feel right when you went through the staging process, but the staff talked you into thinking that after eight months you were already working, and more than 1600 a month was a fraction of your salary. Finally, I chose to trust them and believe that I could successfully find a job by studying hard for 4 months (I was eager to find a job myself). After signing up, professional class is to see the Java foundation of the book, class also do not listen to, all day is to read, have learned Java students should know, only reading does not start learning efficiency is very low. So what I do is useless. At that time did not understand ren Xiaolong teacher’s Java basic course, are in their own blind.

The training period takes 4 months, so I can only use the summer vacation to study continuously. The place of study is Wanda Square in Kunming. It takes one hour to get there from school, and it takes two hours to commute back and forth every day. The travel fee is 12 yuan for the return trip, and a meal costs 15 yuan. So I went back to the miserable days when I had no money and had to tell myself this was my last chance to change. Because learn a little fur, think they understand, graduation project topic selection quite confident choice Java program control machinery to achieve automation. Java is not good at doing mechanical control, my graduation project is also through the network means to use others have realized the scheme, my own hands reproduce a set of laser engraving machine (similar to a tutorial, follow the machine to run). At the beginning of the second semester of my junior year, I had to suspend my studies and go back to my professional courses. I plan to continue my study in winter vacation, and I can continue my study when I am free to do my graduation project in my senior year. Who would have thought that when I am free, there is no suitable class for me to transfer to (no recruitment, no class). In my senior year, six of us in agricultural University realized that we were cheated and went to the person who sold the class to cancel the class, but did not refund. Look for the school the school can’t manage, let us go to the police, the police also said can’t manage. A few poor students so recognize bad luck, and I am not willing to, has been looking for an opportunity to continue to learn, the money spent ability did not learn, who are hard ah, at that time all want to carry a knife to find me to do installment sales (impulse is not desirable).

When summer training, I found many classmates were qujing normal college students majored in computer, they have the foundation, I can’t keep up, the teacher speak simple, fast, with the demanding, long commutes, crazy filling effect is bad, the subway this time know xiao-long ren teacher video, and I are watching on the tube ren’s foundation course. Loose organization management, poor teaching level, the end result, I learned nothing, just learn the basics of Java. After suspension in the school again to learn Java foundation to consolidate some time, but there is no opportunity to learn again. Qujing normal students finished training all the way, when they share before graduation project design I also take the initiative to go to, after all, I’m eager to know what I graduate can reach a level, it now seems the level of the students is the application of MMS framework level, narrowly regarded as primary Java development level, no distributed technology, no cache utilization, None of the mainstream technologies in the market have been applied to the practice project. I have learned about their salary after graduation, which is 3000-4000 yuan. In Kunming, apart from the rent, they are also divided into installments, and they dare not eat well. The employment rate is less than 50%, and many give up after graduation. None of my former classmates was active. I was eager to know about their work and hoped that someone could share with me, but no one gave a shit about me. At that time, I felt that the computer professional people how are so diao, is not looking down on me this layman who wants to change careers. Why they ignored me is a mystery to the world. IT’s the same experience. I’m willing to help those who want to learn about IT industry. Even if I don’t know, I’m willing to help find resources and share them with them.

The third stage: graduated by stages, can only be engaged in university professional work

The first semester of the senior spring recruitment, for the sake of insurance, I must find a job to do an insurance, in case not to learn, but also not forced to their own can not also installments; When I had the opportunity to sign a tripartite agreement for the recruitment of the Eleventh Engineering Bureau of Water Resources and Hydropower, I was still hesitant, so I called a teacher in the organization who I thought I could trust and told him my thoughts and situation. His advice was to do what you want to do with all your strength and do not regret it or waver repeatedly. Boy, I just turned down the contract and jumped into the Java world. Signing for the end of the side classmates one by one, I was scared, also take part in yunnan some machinery manufacturing co., LTD. (a subsidiary under the state-owned enterprises, I such low-achieving students into state-owned enterprises is difficult, so don’t pick) job fairs, lucky through the interview, hiring time say salary, holiday welfare also is satisfied, such as signing up the job. I also thank this company for giving me the opportunity to have an income when I was in the most difficult time, so that I would not have no way out when I graduated.

Said in front, my tuition fee installment mode 8+12, and then the fourth year is about to graduate time will be every month 1600, joke my living expenses every month is not so high, I can not return. There has been no suitable class for the resumption of classes. I will soon graduate from my senior year. Under such circumstances, I dare not resume school even if I can. I can’t live in school after graduation. I have no money to rent a house. I can’t guarantee the cost of study. Besides, I lied to my parents that my tuition was free. My parents’ income was too low to ask for money, so I had to choose employment first and then seek opportunities to resume my study.

The next day after the graduation ceremony, I went to report and prepare for work with great enthusiasm along with the students who signed up for this company from Agricultural University (in my impression, it was June 27th). There were 17 students from agricultural University who signed up for this company, and 7 students majoring in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, who were also classmates. The other is agricultural machinery design and manufacturing and automation (joke, agricultural university how can not have agricultural machinery, agricultural field agricultural university is still a little something, Zhu Youyong academician is the pride of agricultural university people), is a brother professional. I am very happy to enter the company. The company has a good atmosphere and pays enough attention to college students like us to cultivate us as the backbone of the future. At this time, MY hope of Java training for a career has been almost shattered, and I intend to do a good job in this professional work.

Work the first month, because of my physical strength, the I assigned to the most bitter is also the highest technical content among job duty, boiler, mainly using high frequency electric furnace iron refining into around 1500 ℃ hot, add a certain percentage of alloy elements, the final casting into nodular cast iron fasteners (scaffold joint use), imagine working environment: grey, hot, bitter. One day pushing a cart pulling scrap steel is very good biceps, ferrous steel dust makes your nostrils black every day, the two layers of the mask do not work. Molten iron occasionally explodes, and blistering is a common occurrence. My teachers were willing to teach me the knowledge of steelmaking, and I took notes to study after I went back, which made my day very full and happy. There are three masters with me, why three? Because there are three shifts, and only day shifts are arranged for college students in the first month, so I come into contact with three masters in one round every month. I have a good relationship with the three masters. If there is an opportunity, I hope to invite them to have a barbecue and drink some wine.

The company encouraged us to put forward suggestions to expose the management problems in birth and birth. Since I wanted to stay, I would send some problems I saw in my work to the leaders with good eyes, and they also gave me feedback. Every training, the leaders also talked about the company’s future planning, development direction, goals, vision and so on. I am this person, to talk a lot of empty talk is not cold, I have been observing the company in the production of how to do, fasteners used for engineering, quality problems can be people’s lives, play basketball also seek old staff exchange to inquire about some internal information. Work for 2 months, I gradually feel wrong, the leadership team absolutely to force, but the workers negative, do not implement instructions all kinds of problems reflect the company has a very serious underlying disease, so it is necessary to inject fresh blood college students, all kinds of training, training strength also let me feel have been taken seriously.

Stage four: Work is not satisfactory, where to go

The first month work 18 days, take home pay 2980, very happy. The salary is really about 5000, very satisfactory. Also installments, back to the students to borrow money, there are still hundreds of pieces, the first time to get wages or very happy. The second month 3500, a little unbelievable, a month to rest two days, is the performance is not good. In the third month, it was still over 3000. Gradually, I found that things were not simple, and they were completely different from the recruitment. In addition, I have been observing the working attitude and status of the front-line workers, and paying attention to the generator production status of the factory next door. After all, the technology that makes money for the company in the future is the research and development status of the generator. I did not expect that the mechanical and electrical department of the production of things and garbage is no different, and more than three months, the leadership did not make some changes to it. The whole department muddle along, fish in troubled waters, forced away capable technical backbone, so I can not see the hope, crisis awareness hit!

Wages are low and the company’s prospects are uncertain. My immediate thinking is: when I’m 25 or 30, I’ll be earning more. When to buy a car or house; When can let the parents less pressure, can have a bright future. So I suddenly thought, why don’t I pay back the installment, save some money to continue to train Java, change careers! At that time I did not know that my organization had closed down, empty!

Every day AFTER work, I went back to my dormitory to learn Mr. Ren’s Java basic video, type codes and take notes. Eight hours work, about two hours a day to study, the progress is slow, forget quickly. If I want to choose to continue training, I have to prepare well in advance. If I take action, I have no retreat. All that’s left is a few unrealistic ideas. Adversity leads to prosperity.

During the period of self-study, I contacted the previous training institution and found that it had closed down. I went to the education director of the institution, hoping to refund my money or give me an opportunity to continue my study in some way. Mr. Xian was very nice, and he also planned to take students, so I didn’t have to spend money to join him. After that, I have been concerned about the dynamics of the opening of the class, ready to resign at any time. Xian teacher’s class I can learn without spending money, but I feel unstable, he takes students, the number of students is uncertain, although he promised that even if I am a person he will teach, if I am a person, he will have the time and energy to teach me? I am worried that at this time, I am also learning about other institutions, and I will not consider finding a job by online self-study. Not to mention that I have little time and I have to take care of various trifles, so I have limited time and energy, but it will not be effective to spend more time. I find Java learning through public number had pig predecessors, through WeChat chat to know something about training and work, he will give me the answer, for he is worry about the training I’ve been pit (IT training depth, couldn’t find a job a lot), and asked my work place and plan, said some advice, I plan to go to guangzhou in the training, He also recommended the institution where he trained before. I know a lot of institutions, such as Dark horse, Danet and others whose names I have forgotten. As soon as I arrived in Guangzhou, I was eager to have a test. Because of my lack of courage (poverty), I had already found a good job and borrowed money to rent a house before I came, so I didn’t consider the institutions I knew to ask me to have a trial study experience. Facts proved that I made the right choice. After graduation, I had better technical competitiveness compared with other students in other institutions, and the employment rate of my class reached about 95%. This organization was also chosen because of the authenticity of the data and strict management. When I added it to Teacher Ren’s wechat, I also consulted his opinion. He asked my age, education background and so on. His advice: I can train for a career. The cost of time is easy to ignore. If I choose to earn enough money to learn, I have wasted a lot of time. It’s not easy to find a good training institution in a flood of advertisements, let alone find an industry benchmark. It was also because of Mr. Ren’s suggestion that I decided to leave for class as soon as I paid back the installment.

Later, the training plan was advanced, because the company asked us to sign a kind of deed agreement. The company wants to train us, send us to learn electric furnace, go to the headquarters to learn and so on, but we need to sign a contract before going. The contract terms are that after the training, he must work in the company for at least 5 years. If he leaves the company in advance, he shall pay liquidated damages of 3W. Refuse to sign that stay in this company still have space to develop? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So SHORTLY after I refused to sign the contract, I submitted my resignation and left for Guangzhou a week later, with two months to pay off the installment.

Stage 5: Ask your family to support you and choose retraining

I have heard that the company sent us to learn that we need to sign a contract, but I dare not leave before that moment, because I need the income to pay back my installments. If I quit my job and have no money, I can only rely on my parents and ask them to support me for half a year, because it will take me six months to train at 1500 yuan per month. If I can’t survive in Guangzhou, I have to borrow money from classmates and friends. I told my parents that I had paid for the training before, and the training cost nothing but living expenses. In the training of the money to choose 0 yuan admission (is similar to the first training installment loan, study less, work more, only the loan I can study). After graduation, I found a job with a salary of 12K. Only then did I honestly tell my parents that I had spent money on the two training sessions, and I was cheated the first time. I didn’t tell my parents before I put them under pressure.

I taught myself for about 3 months. Before LEAVING, I told my father my idea and asked them to give me some money a month so that I could go to training. I also thought about working on my own. But this efficiency will be very low, take an examination of self-study to find a job far away. I can’t wait. I’m only 24. If I fail, I can try again. Decided to take a gamble and train on my own.

Decided to go to training to write:

On November 24, 2020, I went through the departure formalities and left with my suitcase on November 25. When I mentioned my resignation, the leader talked to me several times, just to test my will and hope that I could stay. I quit at the end of the month and applied half a month in advance. After leaving, IT was very awkward for me to stay there. I didn’t dare to leave immediately because I had no money and no place to go.

On the way to Guangzhou:

It is funny to say that on the day of leaving office, I took the bus from Yanglin to Kunming and found that I did not have 20 dollars to do the fare after getting on the bus. Next to the little brother to help me pay first, I from alipay pen saved unfrozen 50 yuan to do the fare. I had little money with me when I got to Guangzhou. I had bought the train ticket in advance. There’s an 800 deposit on the rent. I’m 500 bucks short of a room. I borrowed $500 from my brother for a deposit. Because I told the landlord that I was just a student and had no money, I only asked her to charge me 800 as a deposit. The rent is 600 yuan a month, the first floor in the deep lane, the kind of small dark room you can’t see without turning on the light in the daytime, the kind of wallet mold and quilt damp in July rainy season, it is horrible.

Two days after I came to Guangzhou, I began to take classes. The previous month was the foundation, and I could follow it well, because I had passed the foundation for three times. Then it’s time to throw yourself into your studies and write in your notebook: Be the hardest working person. To encourage yourself. Get up early and go to class an hour earlier every day. The late return. Mobile games, short video various entertainment software uninstall. Say no to all entertainment. Since then, the circle of friends disappeared for half a year. Learning is lonely and lonely, and I am grateful to have several friends who can give me encouragement and support in the most difficult time. Of course, I should thank my parents for their support. When I had no income during the epidemic, my father borrowed money from my friends for my living expenses. After returning home for the Spring Festival, I took online courses for a month due to the epidemic. Dare not relax.

Graduation on tenterhooks, column plans:

On June 28, 2020, I graduated. After several rounds of mock interviews, MY heart is still not bottom, I rely on training out of the workplace really competent work? Fortunately, the organization is reliable and the technology taught is often updated to reflect popular technology in the workplace.

Stage six: Find a satisfying job and plan for the next five years

Interview 8 companies, the first 7 are hanged, interview is to be hanged, come back to check the missing. Fight not afraid of the mentality, failure to continue next. After all, I was a beginner, 7 face, really a bit of a breakdown, once doubt I really not good! The eighth outsourcing company offered me 12K, which I accepted immediately. I really needed an opportunity to work as a worker to understand what the actual work was.

This is the first Offer I received:

I outsourced for 7 months. After the Spring Festival, the project work was finished and the company made personnel adjustment to mainly develop the business in Central Taiwan. I asked the company whether I could get a full-time job, because I have learned that the employees in my year also have a bachelor’s degree, and I have a bachelor’s degree, which is not worse than them. If I can get a full-time job, I will be very satisfied, because the company I work for is very strong and has a good prospect. It is a pity that HR informed me that the company has no system and standard for outsourcing to become a full-time employee. Therefore, I proposed to quit my job, which was very quick. I think it was because I was an outsourcing company. After fixing the bug of my code scanning, I proposed to quit and went through formalities on the same day. I am very grateful to the company for giving me the opportunity to join them. Although I am not an official internal employee, I have learned a lot in the company, personally felt the process of project development, and also gave me a good working experience in changing jobs and dealing with the interview. In fact, my second company was based on my experience at my first company.

After resigning, I spent half a month preparing for the interview at home.

On March 15, 2021, I made my revised resume visible on THE platform HR in Boos Direct Employment. Try ahead of time. I’m not in a rush to make an interview. I’m still a little unsure about what salary I can get. I want a high salary, but I’m afraid that my strength can’t support my ambition.

There are many companies about the interview, outsourcing I declined, I want to enter a company of Party A, good welfare, access to the core business. Mainly in order to find a job in the future resume can look better, but also believe that they are not an outsourcing level.

I made an appointment with three interviews on 20th, and I was lucky to get offers from all of them, with salaries of 14, 15 and 16 respectively. I was relatively satisfied with the Offer, and I chose an industrial Internet company of 15. It was a pity that it was difficult to work in this company after I joined. I didn’t stick to it. I wasn’t confident. I wasn’t strong enough. The leader and HR advised me six times to not put too much pressure on myself. Eventually I left and went to a 16K company. To be honest, 15K company has my favorite working atmosphere, the most comfortable colleague relationship. Unfortunately, the strength does not allow me to stay in the company, not to bring the actual value, I feel uncomfortable, I feel the company to give me salary I can not bring benefits is a very difficult to say, shame ah, but also need their own hard ah, I hope you students ready for yourself, the opportunity to seize.

14 k offers:

15 k offers:

I learned a lot in either company. It made me realize my technical weakness. Realize that most of the technology only stays in the theoretical stage, landing difficulty. So after work, the study plan needs to be carried out immediately. After all, no programmer has a dream of entering a big factory!

16K Offer: current company.

A brand new company needs new challenges. Fortunately, the leader gave me enough time to grow, learn modestly and prepare for my next dream. I also signed up for the online architect course and prepared to recharge during the rest time.

conclusion

I always have a sense of crisis, like where will I be five years from now? How to live on what? Then forced me to keep learning, in fact, the IT industry, not learning will fall behind. See a lot of great people, how high salary, into what a good company. I am real name envy, also know, others can enter must be paid more efforts than others. Now I want to prepare and learn more. I hope I can seize the opportunity to hit big factory in a year.

In my experience, it was the help of great people that got me where I am today. I am also willing to help others, because my story has influenced my classmates, they also choose to enter the IT industry, I am very happy, in this vast guangzhou, Yunnan programmer team now know two people, ha ha! He also just joined the company, and his salary is 11K. Another college classmate is studying now. He has been living with me for less than two months. He has financial difficulties, so I will help him pay the rent. I am happy to influence and help people around me.

After seeing my experience, if you have any questions, hesitate before choosing, do not know the content of IT work and so on, you can talk to me. I will help you answer what I know, and I will help you find resources to answer what I do not know.

I’m a second battalion commander, and I hope my experience can enlighten you. This is my micro signal, add please explain the purpose, welcome harassment.

This is my registered official account. There are some study notes, and I will share them with the summary of my work later. I hope to share something that can make everyone grow up.
