Master of 211, graduated 4 years ago, resigned 5 times, finally achieved an annual salary of 1 million

First, start with a friend's story.
W is my high school classmate, who is top-notch in learning, amazing perseverance, and has a strong sense of purpose. After graduating from high school, he successfully entered a 211 college in Xiamen, and was recommended to graduate students after graduation.
During the four years of college, he won the National Inspirational Scholarship every year. The key is that in his junior year, he also served as the president of the student union.
Such a good student with an all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique, but in the 4 years after graduation, he has experienced 5 job-hopping, and we all call him "job-hopping gentleman" in private.
With a cheerful personality, when faced with our ridicule, he always recited, "You laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at you and you can't see through."
In 2015, he ended his job-hopping experience and joined a Fortune 500 company as a sales director with an annual salary of one million. One day, I saw him and asked him why he liked to change jobs so much in the few years he had just graduated. He suddenly opened the conversation box and told me about his "job-hopping" experience.
He said that when he first graduated, he went to a Fortune 500 company (the one he is currently working for) for an interview, but the interviewer dismissed him in the first round because of his “too simple resume and no sales experience,” he said. Although he has served as the president of the student council, the company cannot take the risk of such a novice in the workplace."

He was not discouraged. After the interview, he took the initiative to find the HR who interviewed him and asked him what kind of experience he should have to enter the company. When the HR saw his sincere attitude, he told him, "A company like ours usually does not Accept students without sales experience, if you have sales experience in several companies, the chances of joining us are relatively high.” Before leaving, he specially left the phone to him.

As a result, he began his career-hopping experience in several companies.
The first company, a salesperson, worked for 1 year and resigned after being promoted to team leader;
The second company, a sales consultant, worked for 8 months, and resigned when the unit was ready to give him a promotion;
The third company, the director of the marketing department of a foreign company, worked for 14 months, and the company resigned when the company was going to assign him as a regional manager;
The fourth company, the sales director of the startup company, worked for 9 months and resigned after getting the offer from the current company.

He said that he did not like to resign, and his goal has always been clear, that is, to enter this company in the world's top 500, and every step he takes is to achieve the ultimate goal.
Therefore, when he worked in the first few companies, he never asked about salary, but only cared about whether it could help his growth, because he knew that in the first few years of work, growth was more important than success!

Sometimes we just focus too much on salary, position and other treatment, and ignore the most important things for us, whether it will help our growth.

Sometimes, we are so desperate for success that we forget that growth is an important prerequisite for success.
If you are in a company that only cares about your salary, but not whether it helps your growth, you are likely to be caught in an infinite cycle of physical strength and unable to extricate yourself.
Last year, when my work unit had annual leave, I was struggling with nothing to do at home, so I wanted to be inspired and go out to work part-time. So on the day of Double 11, I went to deliver the courier. Very hard get off work and inspirational, but after working for 3 days, I know that I can't go on anymore, not because of hard work, but because my work is just a repetition of physical strength, which is of no use to my personal development. , did not contribute to success, so I gave up decisively on the fourth day.
- How should we choose our own work?
Be sure to look for jobs where you can "compound interest", even as a hobby, I suggest.
Due to the fire of micro-business, some colleagues started to become micro-businesses, so they tried their best to promote their products in the circle of friends. Sometimes friends bought one or two pieces out of face. However, you are not making money, but consuming your friendship and affection. On the contrary, if you choose to be an official account or a headline account, you may not be profitable at first, but after several years of unremitting efforts, you can definitely become a big coffee in the field, and an annual salary of 1 million is already trivial for you.
