To tell the truth, at my age, I'm really embarrassed to look for another job now. At the age of 30, my career began to rise. I work in a position above middle management in a big company. At the age of 35, I was promoted by a big boss to the general manager and legal representative of a small-scale company. After five years, it lost more than 20 million. I feel that doing business has fallen into a strange circle. After I scaled up, the cost couldn't come down and I lost a little money.

But I feel hopeless. In the past two years, environmental protection law enforcement has been strict. As taxpayers, we have to pay higher costs. The loss of a painting factory is only 2 million a year, and the water consumption is more than 20 yuan a ton. In addition, the cost of air purification equipment, sewage treatment equipment and solid waste treatment is ridiculously high. The reality is that the local costs of similar enterprises in other regions, such as Qingyuan, Huizhou, Xuzhou and Shandong, are less than one tenth of ours, so it is difficult to persist and there is no hope, so they are closed. To tell the truth, the problem of industrial hollow characters is getting more and more serious now. In the past, Guangdong's manufacturing industries were concentrated in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen. Now Shenzhen enterprises have moved to Dongguan and Huizhou, Dongguan Foshan enterprises to Zhaoqing and Jiangmen, downstream enterprises to Zhaoqing and Shaoguan, and further to Jiangxi and Hunan. In fact, on the surface, the cost has been reduced, but after careful calculation, in fact, the entire supply chain has been lengthened.

Looking back, when our generation was about forty years old, they basically went out to do business, and they all worked in labor-intensive enterprises such as hardware, household appliances, automobiles and motorcycles. Now this kind of enterprises are the most uncomfortable, the most competitive and the highest labor cost. Those who used to work in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan and Foshan, if you want to change jobs, you will have to move to the downstream cities to get married and have children, but most of your friends are at this age. At this time, the family is very fragile and may fall apart.

After the failure of starting a business, my wife has been using their investment banking experience to educate me, change my mind, change my career and change my position. Now in Shenzhen, I find that there are few opportunities left by reality. It's really young people's world now. There are four code farmers in a company where I work, all in their thirties. According to them, I used to work in a big company, but now I am forced to transfer to a small company, and now I change my blood quickly.

The goal of these two years is to calm down and plan the next step. Time is running out. It is estimated that it will be difficult to change jobs after forty-five. It's your choice to start a business or sink!
