Roadside barbecue stall at night 10.

After finishing my undergraduate studies in second-tier cities, I was naive and ignorant, and with the fantasy of Beijing Utopia, I came to Beijing to report with a school offer with a monthly salary of less than 10000 yuan. Born in the bottom working class, no one has ever told me what kind of life I should live. After graduation, what is more interesting than seeing the bustling world?

Plus the internship time, I stayed in Beijing for two years, working as a media reporter, my dream career. The reality didn't disappoint me either. The working hours were free, the leading colleagues and predecessors were excellent and kind, the company platform was good, entrepreneurs at the top of the pyramid in the Internet industry could be interviewed, and occasionally some celebrities on hot search could be seen. I experienced many five-star hotels for free, but I only wrote articles in my room for take-out when I was on a business trip in many cities.

Maybe it's because I just entered the business, or maybe it's because I just graduated with great energy. During the probation period before I became a skilled code-word migrant worker, I felt that the work of journalists was objectively not so tired. I was free to move when I reported my work once a week, and I often stayed up late to write articles. I was occasioncally called in the middle of the night to follow up on unexpected news, so I didn't feel tired at all when I made meaningful topics.

But as a newcomer in the workplace, psychological pressure is always great. This kind of pressure usually appears after media activities. When you have seen the working conditions of colleagues in different media, you will worry about whether you can evolve into a "senior reporter" after three years. You will be worried that you will still be a waste who can only collect transportation fees but can't write a manuscript at the age of 30. You will be lonely if you stay in Beijing, worried about the speed and quality of writing that you have been unable to improve, and worried that the second-tier city you want to return to doesn't have your own suitable post. ?

Later, I finally admitted that the school recruited the ambitious person in the interview, which seemed to be just an emergency drill. I bumped into this company by mistake and lived in this shared room. I didn't have the opportunity to settle in Beijing or have financial freedom. I was a mediocre ordinary person. ?

In the past, I always felt that leaving a city because of the dry climate and inappropriate diet was a very sentimental reason. It wasn't until I ordered takeout ten times and stepped on thunder nine times, when I went to the dermatologist to see a doctor with chapped skin, and there could never be a roadside stall drinking beer, that I really found out that I didn't like this city. It's not that it's bad, but that its prosperity and fun have nothing to do with a wage earner.

Occasionally, I came to Chongqing for the exam, and my salary was cut by half, but I was still comfortable. I didn't call for my life from nine to six, didn't look at my mobile phone after work, and went downstairs to buy a barbecue after taking a shower.

Although, Beijing is still a place that brings me many memories and gains. I was lucky enough to go to a good company, where I met very, very good colleagues and leaders. The first trip abroad was a group building of departments, and the leaders gave me a lot of room for self-growth and even secretly gave me bonuses. My leaving, to some extent, feels a little disappointing to him. Because he interviewed me at that time, I thought I was the kind of person who was ambitious and broke into the world.

However, in Beijing, I did a lot of topics with social significance, met many ordinary people who moved and gave people strength, and also met very excellent entrepreneurs. What I have learned in the past two years is that I am not only a content producer who can convey ideas, but also a code word screw that companies and enterprises can replace at any time.

After I got the job offer in Chongqing, I went to the big factory in Houchang Village for an interview. Later, I also got an offer, but it was much more tiring than my first job. Later, I didn't go, so I resigned and came to Chongqing directly.

After coming to Chongqing for more than 1 year, there was no peer pressure at work from the beginning, and gradually there were more tasks and new goals. But there is also plenty of time to study cooking, travel around, take cats out to play and take pictures of them. Although there are many interesting places in Beijing, I, who was anxious, could never feel the city with my heart like a tourist. What I felt were mostly cars and dust flying on the Fourth Ring Road, cockroaches rustling in the partition, and canteens with sesame sauce even for mala Tang.

I feel that life has slowed down in Chongqing, and I often regret it when I just resigned. After a while, I feel that I am right to leave. But the experience of Beijing and my first job are my precious wealth, which makes me a child born in a bottom family really see the prosperity and cruelty of the outside world.

There are also many "North drift" friends around me, who firmly choose to take root and integrate into this super city. Their efforts for this choice are also dazzling, and they themselves are always admired by me in their work ability and emotional intelligence. Occasionally, when I hear the news of their promotion, marriage and buying a house, I will still sigh that the struggle will eventually pay off.

In addition, before coming to Chongqing, I also saved enough down payment for a small house, and I can buy a house after one year of social security. If you have no money, you really don't recommend quitting.

On the other hand, there may be many young friends who come to big cities by mistake, and there are also hesitations like me. This is a journey that will not lose money, and young people always have to suffer. In a word, I don't regret drifting north or leaving. All choices will have regrets, so go ahead firmly first.
