In 2021, a colleague worked for Alibaba for more than 5 years without buying a house or a car. He earned more than 1 million. He resigned at the age of 30 and returned to his hometown in the county to take the civil service examination.
Before leaving, I was worried about his future and asked him: It's too risky for you to resign from such a high-paying job before you're sure whether you can pass the exam.
He said this: My parents said the same, and this is what I think. The age limit for taking the civil service examination is 35 years old. I still have 5 years. With an IQ of 985, I believe I will be able to take the civil service examination in 5 years. Passed the exam. Besides, the IT and Internet industry is in a downward trend now, and the "involution" is serious. I don't want all the money I make now to be spent on hospitals in the future.
Nowadays, young people have understood that after graduation, they will first go to work in a big factory for four or five years to earn the first pot of gold in life, and then return to their hometown in the county below the fourth tier to buy a house and car with full payment, and then pass the civil service examination and start to make a living.
This colleague took the exam for 2 years and finally got admitted this year and was admitted as a civil servant in the Civil Affairs Bureau of his hometown county. In his first year, he was rejected during the interview. In the second year, I heard that the studies were quite hard, and I showed my college entrance examination status. In the end, I ranked second in the total score of written test + interview, and successfully landed. Now I am living a very comfortable life, much more comfortable than life in a big factory. It still smells like an iron rice bowl.
