What if I want to change careers at the age of 30? A little sharing from people who have experienced it.

What if I want to change careers at the age of 30? This is a question that many people ask!

People often say "stand at the age of 30". Many people want to change their lives when they reach the age of 30, but various family practical problems such as mortgage, car loan and children's tuition make people afraid to change careers.

It's not easy to change careers. I share my experience with you, hoping it will help.

Once gave up the company's equity subscription, gave up becoming a minority shareholder of the company, and resolutely resigned and switched to new media operations. Now I give myself 90 days to try to switch to self-media operation. Next, I will share with you all my feelings about changing careers from three aspects. (dry goods warning)

First, why do you want to change careers after 30?

After reading many friends' questions about wanting to change careers at the age of 30, I found some similarities: I don't like my work content or working environment, I am dissatisfied with my salary, my career is in a bottleneck, or I don't meet my original plan.

First of all, I don't recommend others to change careers. If you are just dissatisfied with your salary and want to change jobs, it is called job-hopping, not career change! Changing careers means starting from scratch!

There is a saying that changing careers for three years is exaggerated, but it is also a truth. It is not easy to change careers. Look before you leap!

Whatever the reason, before you change careers, you must think clearly whether you want to change careers and what the reason is, so that you won't regret your original choice.

Tell you my own little story, which is why I decided to change careers.

It takes a strong reason to change careers!

I used to be the director of a training company. I did some tedious and heavy work every day, regardless of departments, day and night, not only dealing with the trivial matters of the company, but sometimes dealing with the private affairs of the boss.

In the afternoon 1 1 I got a call from my boss and worked overtime until 4 am for the project. To put it mildly, it is the middle of the company; To put it mildly, it is a handyman.

Some people say that the salary of your position should be quite high. Yes, not only is the salary good, but the company also gives me the opportunity to subscribe for shares and become a minority shareholder. However, no matter how strong a camel is, there is straw to crush it.

Because of the particularity of industry work, it takes up a lot of my private time, which makes it difficult for me to take care of my family after work. I used to think that a career-oriented family could be put aside until my old mother accidentally broke her leg and looked at the dust on her head. Suddenly I feel that life is too short, and some things are time to change!

That's why I decided to change careers. Must be a strong reason!

Because when you decide to change careers, you are bound to be troubled by all kinds, whether it is discouraged by external friends and relatives, or from inner entanglement and fear of the unknown, or from social discrimination against the elderly in the workplace.

If you can't find such a reason, please don't try to change careers easily!

And when you have strong reasons to support you, you won't be knocked down by the difficulties on the road to career change, because career change requires firm determination. You must tell yourself that I am serious about career change at the age of 30!

2. What industry should I choose to change careers?

Many people will always have the idea of working in one company and one industry, but things are unpredictable, and even the best industry can't resist the changes of the times.

In the update iteration of the great ship of the times, it is actually difficult to have an industry that has been in the golden age. Today, you have chosen a good blue ocean industry, and perhaps this industry will soon become the sunset of the western hills.

Therefore, it is necessary to choose industries that will continue to develop at a high speed in the next 10~20 years.

Industry determines a person's career height!

Personally, choosing an industry is more important than choosing a career. Because an industry not only determines its working environment but also determines how far a profession can go.

So how do you know which industries will develop rapidly in the next 10~20 years?

Read a book that analyzes the development of the industry. It says that the development of this industry can be divided into three situations:

1, technology-driven development

Since 2000, the Internet industry has been the absolute leader, because the subversive basic technology, that is, the explosive development of information technology, has penetrated from the military science and technology field to the commercial application field, which can be said to be the reason for the rise of the global Internet industry.

All the "internet plus" we know now are almost the result of the development of related industries promoted by Internet technology.

In the next ten or twenty years, I believe it will be internet plus's era.

2. Consumption structure drives development

Under the comprehensive effect of multiple factors such as consumption environment, lifestyle, purchasing power and consumption concept, the consumption structure of the group has changed.

Before 2020, with the rapid development of the Internet, more and more enterprises have changed from the traditional offline mode to the online+offline mode, and the proportion of online mode is also increasing.

With the outbreak of the epidemic, people's lifestyles have gradually become residential, and the proportion of online models has exploded.

Even if there is no epidemic, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of living convenience, I believe that the proportion of online mode will continue to grow, resulting in a series of industries in internet plus, and the epidemic is only a catalyst.

3. Demographic-driven development

Nielsen China Consumer Trend Index survey shows that the post-90s generation has gradually become the main consumer. Compared with the traditional offline mode, these groups prefer the online consumption mode based on the Internet.

They are a generation deeply influenced by the Internet, and they are more sensitive to the digital economy. The digital economy based on the Internet is becoming the core driving force of economic growth, which has driven the transformation of consumption patterns and consumption upgrading.

The above are some superficial views and personal opinions I got after I decided to change careers, which is also the reason why I chose the Internet.

The Internet industry has various functional directions. According to your personal interests, choose the field you want to engage in. For example, after I choose the field of Internet operation, I will know more about its subdivision.

Internet operations are divided into new media, activities, communities and so on. Choose the one you are most interested in. After all, interest is the best teacher, so in the end, I chose the position of new media operation as the starting point.

What can I do to successfully change careers at the age of 30?

After choosing a good industry and finding a cut-in position, search for this position on major recruitment apps, read the recruitment requirements of all companies for this position, and basically understand what skills are needed to be qualified for this position.

The ability to decide whether to change careers successfully!

Changing careers means starting from scratch. If you want to be employed by an enterprise, you must have the corresponding ability. It takes a lot of study to acquire these abilities! There are only three ways to learn: to find an old major, to ponder and to enroll in classes.

Finding a master with industry experience is of course the fastest and most direct method, but it is also the most difficult method to achieve. Unless you have a good friend who is the right person, he will spend a lot of time and energy teaching you.

Let's talk about the method of self-study first. First of all, self-study needs to find a lot of learning materials. For example, you can Baidu the information you want, or go to some training platforms to find free courses and search for free teaching videos related to Li Li. Secondly, you need to have good time management and self-discipline, otherwise three days of fishing and two days of drying the net are just a waste of time.

Although self-study saves money, it is not worry-free. Without systematic study, no one will ask what he doesn't understand. For Xiaobai, who has switched from zero to zero, it is quite necessary to report to class. So after trying to teach myself, I chose to sign up for a class …

To see whether the training institution is good or not, you can go to see his course consultant first to see if he has unclear answers, professional knowledge and confidence in his products.

After that, we will see if the content of their courses is reasonable, then listen to their courses, and finally shop around to see which one is better and more suitable for you.

After signing up for the training class, you will start to study hard!

I worked hard to pass the homework of theoretical knowledge, thinking that spring was coming, but what happened was the knocking of practical operation ... countless revisions, and I didn't pass the exam until I perfected my homework day and night ...

In addition to studying, you should get used to the second interview, collect and sort out the learning materials and experience over and over again, and consolidate your knowledge from time to time!

Worked hard to sort out the learning materials worth 5000!
