36-year-old working woman, working for 14 years, famous company for 8 years, just unemployed and confused

Tingting: Female, graduated from college in 2005. Now I have been working in a second-tier city for 14 years. In the first few years after graduation, my job was unstable and I changed a few small companies. Later, I started foreign trade.

In 2008, by chance, I joined a large Internet company. I had no ambitions and stayed for 8 years. In the past 8 years, the salary has increased to varying degrees every year, but the monthly salary is not more than 10,000 yuan. Maybe everyone does not believe what I said. Such a large company pays less than 10,000 yuan, but it is true.

After 8 years, I quit my job and went to a medium-sized Internet company. The salary also increased. Anyway, it was more than 10,000 yuan. Because I worked hard and the leaders appreciated me very much, the salary also increased in 2 years. But this year is the cold winter of the Internet. The company has left more than 200 people. I am now unemployed, and my heart is plugged.

Last Wednesday, I put my resume on the recruitment website. Recently, I have received several calls from headhunters. It's not that the journey is very long, one-way 1.5-2 hours, or 996 hours. I'm so confused, I don't know. What should I do?

@wutongyu:

Tell me about my experience for your reference.

I graduated with an undergraduate degree in 2004, a year earlier than you. I worked in my first job for 4 years, and then I worked in a large company for 8 years. I worked too much overtime and my health was not good, so I voluntarily resigned in 2016. rest at home,

It was only after 17 years that I looked for a job again, and I found that big companies couldn’t get in at all, so I turned to small companies, the ones with hundreds of people. After joining the company, I slowly realized that the bosses of those companies may be younger than me, and they don’t have me. The school he graduated from was good, and he didn't have my work resume. On the one hand, he wanted me to make good grades, and on the other hand, he was afraid that I would surpass him. In such an environment, it was very uncomfortable to stay.

Later, I left decisively and started to choose a startup company. I felt that, at least, it was an environment where I could work comfortably.

The Internet industry is an industry with a very high rate of job-hopping, but there are also a lot of job opportunities. However, compared with traditional industries, it is delusional to be in one company for a lifetime.

Take a night school to improve your major. Good job.

@Island Twilight Song:

Not really, after working together for so many years, it’s enough to find a good job in my peers, but it’s good to cultivate some hobbies and enrich my spare time. My friend is in a listed company and goes to Omich Pastry School for training on weekends.

@shijin:

Your requirements are too high ~ the salary is over 10,000 yuan, it is close to home, and you can't work overtime often. . .

@EALA6：

It is also good to have a good rest. The work is really tiring. I am a public institution within the system, and it is always 7 to 9 in the morning. One and a half days off each week. Work is very stressful. Unexpectedly, in addition to not being unemployed, the body is just as exhausted.

@yuanyuan0123:

Don’t be afraid, the leaders of my previous company were all over 40, and they still came to work for interviews. They were on the Internet, but the company was a group company and didn’t work overtime much. She has also been dissatisfied with the current situation of the company, saying that she wants to do something, instead of messing around like this, she is thinking about starting a business. Age is not a problem, the key to technical skills should not be lost.

What do you guys think? Also give Tingting an idea.
