Graduates "sprint" to large factories: expect annual salary of more than 200,000, old employees face "salary inversion"

21st Century Business Herald reporter Chen Jie intern Li Zehui reported from Guangzhou

College graduates enter the "big factory" and begin to enter the final "sprint" stage.

From mid-November, Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd. began to make up the recruitment for the class of 2022, and the related work will continue until November 30. From the end of September and the beginning of October, Tencent, JD.com, Baidu, etc. also launched school recruitment, and related work has also entered the final stage.

This makes many graduates who aim at "big factories" are making a last-ditch effort.

"My major is a master's degree in application statistics, my job search intention is a data analyst in the Internet field, and the 'big factories' I have invested in so far are Tencent, ByteDance, Alibaba, Huawei, OPPO, VIVO, Pinduoduo, etc." Zhang Zhimin (pseudonym), a master's student at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), told 21st Century Business Herald that he was targeting a job at a large factory, "Big Factory", but has not yet been given the right opportunity.

Zhang Zhimin believes that even if he has just joined the company, the annual salary of first-line Internet companies is at least more than 200,000 yuan, and he has set the salary target at 200,000-250,000 yuan. This salary is almost the "basic requirement" for graduates who target large factories, and some graduates interviewed believe that the salary should reach 300,000 yuan or even higher.

For the old employees of the big factories who have already joined, many people have also felt the impact of the "new generation". Wang Jun (pseudonym), an EDA engineer who has been employed in a large factory in Shenzhen for two years, told 21st Century Business Herald that as far as he knows, the salaries of fresh graduates in many positions are indeed higher, and the difference between the monthly salaries of old employees ranges from thousands to tens of thousands.

"Newcomers have low costs and potential, which can inject fresh blood into enterprises, while making old employees feel competitive pressure, and even eliminating old employees who are relatively inefficient." Wang Jun said.

According to the Ministry of Education, the number of graduates of colleges and universities in the country will exceed 10 million in 2022, which makes many graduates ready for employment early.

Zhang Zhimin is like this, he began to look for internships after the Spring Festival in February 2021, and then actively submitted resumes to the Internet "big factories".

"The starting point of the big factory is high, the platform is high, the salary and welfare are good, and some of the surrounding living facilities will be relatively perfect." Zhang Zhimin said.

According to the "2021 Fresh Graduate Employment Trend Report" released by BOSS Direct Recruitment, in the spring recruitment season of 2021, the Internet, electronics/communications and science and technology service industries, which are mainly digital technology positions, attracted 26.7% of fresh graduates.

The "2021 College Student Employability Survey Report" released by Zhaopin in June this year pointed out that college students are most looking forward to entering Internet companies and have a "big factory dream", and 25.4% of graduates hope to enter the IT/communication/electronics/Internet industry.

Expecting to enter the "big factory" is a very realistic choice for graduates, which means that their salaries can be several times higher than the same batch of graduates expect.

According to the "2021 College Students Employability Survey Report", the expected salary of fresh graduates is concentrated in the range of 4000-6000 yuan (monthly salary). According to the "2021 Fresh Graduate Employment Trend Report", in the spring recruitment season of 2021, the average recruitment salary of school recruitment positions was 6112 yuan (monthly salary), an increase of 4.7% year-on-year, continuing to maintain a trend of small growth in consecutive years. The average expected salary of fresh graduates in 2021 is 6,030 yuan, which is basically the same as the same period last year.

The young people who are looking forward to entering the "big factory" have the most basic expected annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan, which is converted into a monthly salary of more than 16,800 yuan.

Li Xia (pseudonym), a fresh graduate of the university majoring in applied statistics, told 21st Century Business Herald that he began to submit resumes in late August, preparing for the autumn move, and has currently invested in Internet companies such as Alibaba, ByteDance, Baidu, Meituan, NetEase, and b station.

"If you can enter a large factory, the salary should be about 300,000 yuan before tax, and I am personally satisfied." Li Xia said that he mainly invested in data analysis and business analysis positions, and has now received offers.

However, for the old employees who have entered the "big factory", they are facing the impact of the "new generation".

"It's normal for fresh graduates and old employees to 'hang their salaries upside down', young is the cost, and it is not uncommon for their salaries to be a few thousand yuan more than old employees." Wang Jun said, "But if I let myself speak, I am not satisfied with the salary growth after joining the big factory." ”

For Internet companies, youth is indeed "capital". According to the "2021 Programmer Group Insight Report" released by 55.5% of the programmers released by 55.5%, followed by 30-35-year-old practitioners, accounting for 32.1%, while the proportion of programmers aged 35 and above is just over 10%.

Are the big factories welcoming graduates, or do the graduates like the big factories? For now, it's a two-way option.

21st Century Business Herald reporter previously as a job seeker, to ByteDance an HR to understand the recruitment information, she enthusiastically said that this year ByteDance autumn recruitment of posts is still quite a lot, each business line has a lot of positions to choose from, it is recommended to search or find their own seniors and sisters for internal push.

"The autumn recruitment process depends on different positions, under normal circumstances, the process is resume screening - written test - one side - two sides - three sides, most positions have to go through three rounds of interviews, and some positions may require four times." The HR said, "For fresh graduates, when combing resumes, do not put too much ink on campus experience, you should highlight your internship experience and work ability, and describe your data in past internship experience, such as the transformation of community activity in a project." ”

According to the HR introduction of the above-mentioned ByteDance, in addition to the salary, 1500 yuan / room allowance per month, free meals, reimbursement of taxi fares, etc., are all benefits of the company.

From mid-November to the end of November, ByteDance began to recruit additional recruits, and it is understood that this year's school recruitment will recruit 8,000 positions.

However, compared with graduates who want to enter the "big factory", the relevant recruitment is after all "more monks and less porridge".

At the end of October, the China Employment Research Institute of Chinese University and Zhaopin released the "Job Market Prosperity Report for College Graduates in the Third Quarter of 2021", which pointed out that compared with the second quarter of 2021, the recruitment demand for college graduates increased by 6.5% in this quarter, but due to the peak season of graduates ushering in the autumn job search season, the increase in the number of deliveries made the CIER index decline month-on-month.

Among them, the Internet/e-commerce industry ranked third in the employment boom of college graduates, but the CIER index fell to 3.38 from 3.93 in the second quarter.

Another problem that needs to be faced directly is that it is not easy to enter the "big factory", but being able to retain the position for a long time requires a little luck in addition to hard work.

On November 5, Ohayoo, a subsidiary of ByteDance, announced the latest situation of layoffs, saying that "due to business changes, some positions and personnel have been adjusted recently, involving 79 employees, including 30 school enrollments." For the situation related to school enrollment, 23 students have been transferred internally, 3 students are in internal coordination, and 4 students have not been transferred and choose to leave, and we provide severance compensation. ”

In fact, in recent years, there have been rumors of personnel optimization in the Internet "big factories".

In addition, although many Internet companies shouted out the slogan that this year's school recruitment is the "largest in history", news from different sources shows that the number of positions released by many "big factories" this year and the growth rate of salaries has slowed down compared with last year.

In this context, fresh graduates who want to go to the "big factory" have long been ready to compete.

"Now the competition on the Internet is fierce, and no position can stand alone. The most effective way to improve your competitiveness before submitting a resume is to go to an internship, and it is to go to a large factory for internship. Xu Junjie, who has already received an offer from Tencent, said that he has already participated in the "summer intern recruitment" of "Big Factory" since March, and finally successfully joined the company.
