I'm not going to be a foreign company to be the director

Unlike the general financial graduate graduation, "main attack bank" is that Song Wenyan, a 2022 graduate of Shenzhen University 2022, regards the work of foreign companies as his goal.

"Different from many brothers and sisters can internships across the region and exchanged students in cross -border, our college students have not affected the liquidity during the university during the university. Either postgraduate entrance examination, either go abroad, there are not many who choose to go to foreign companies like me. "Song Wenyan told the reporter of China Economic Weekly.

Nine to five, weekends, weekends, farewell to "996", humanized management, long paid annual leave, fresh salary of freshmen over 10,000, and the year -end awards are soft ... These descriptions make many university graduates think that foreign companies are simply. "Bai Yueguang"! However, this is not the case.

Linda, a top 500 human resource director, told the reporter of China Economic Weekly that foreign enterprises need to have five levels and six generals.

First of all, foreign companies value school brands that are applied to students. Many companies always go to several fixed colleges and universities every year. "In Beijing, our fixed school recruitment is 5 universities including Tsinghua University and the National People's Congress, Beihang Hang, which is because according to the performance of the previous students of the prestigious universities, let us value the inheritance. However, the high -education top students of the famous colleges and universities are not from foreign companies. The first choice. We have a complete test system that will be observed by written tests and interviews. Talents with strong comprehensive ability and good theoretical learning will be selected. Team collaboration and communication skills. In addition, proficient computer operation skills and fluent English expression skills are also essential. "Linda told China Economic Weekly reporter.

Song Wenyan got the offer of Deloitte's OFFER through the website sea election, online interviews, written tests and partners interviews.

She said that the salary of foreign companies is not as high as legendary. When recruiting, she will be told "preparing for hard work to work overtime", and it is clearly informed that the freshmen are "starting from a low salary." It is necessary to become a member of foreign companies that require strong ability and willingness to work hard, and willing to start from the grassroots level.

"It's okay to eat hard. I actually participated in the recruitment of a bank. The other party, such as the" what your parents are doing in your family, do you have a financial system relationship, can you help the client and the customer " Questions are very uncomfortable; foreign -funded family background issues are more people -oriented, and they are more oriented to 'your own planning, how do you want to grow', etc. There is a saying that "you love you, or your life. Many people are crowded on a certain path of sexual sex. I am not to be a director or want to keep love and let go. "Song Wenyan said.

The choice from Sun Jie to SARA

"The boots landed, please call me Sara later." Sun Jie sent a circle of friends.

I took a scholarship every year and went to the UK to study in the UK. However, after two years of work, she turned around and chose to work in a consulting company in Shanghai.

"Many relatives in my family don't understand, saying why I give up a stable life, and choose to start again at the age of 30? Only I understand that I am not impulsive for a while, but after a year of tangling, I made this decision. "Sun Jie told China Economic Weekly reporter.

Two years in his hometown, Sun Jie deeply felt that the civil servant system was a rigorous and standardized process, and it was a strong professional support system.

"I am a person who likes to change and likes to challenge work, so I want to try a more flexible and challenging position. Choose a foreign company to see the management experience and customer resources of the international consulting company. Of course And more humanized welfare system, "Sun Jie said.

She also conducted a lot of investigations on foreign companies on the Internet and found that foreign shortcomings were also obvious. First of all, the level of foreign companies is clear. The higher leaders are basically foreigners. The ceiling of Chinese local employees is very obvious.

Secondly, the petty bourgeois complex and self -proclaimed by foreign companies are also very serious. In foreign companies, the middle level is very proud. Most of the employees are short -sighted, and they feel good for themselves. Therefore, this is why the Internet and private enterprises have been able to surpass foreign companies in recent years. Many foreign companies have too long reflection arcs, and they lack observation of many domestic new trends. However, in the experience of being a civil servant, Sun Jie recognized herself even more. She felt that her current work was just an executor on the chain. She wanted to "groundn", help customers understand domestic and foreign regulations, and participate in the Chinese market for their rapid rapid participation in the Chinese market to be fast. Change survey and design products.

"From a cost perspective, my family from various training courses in elementary school to Shanghai to study in universities to support foreign research abroad. I went to my hometown to work for me to buy a house and car. After a moment, even if I have been promoted smoothly in foreign companies, I have to work at least 5 years before I can return to the family. However In the future, prepare for entrepreneurship, "Sun Jie said.
