However, employment is a two-way choice process. No matter what school graduates are, they have the right to choose their jobs freely. Students who graduated in 1985 will probably choose big companies, but it doesn't mean that graduates in 1985 must choose big companies.
1 and 985 why do graduates choose big companies?
The reason why 985 graduates tend to choose large companies or well-known enterprises is because these enterprises have relatively high platforms and rich resources. Being able to enter such an environment can help people grow up quickly. More importantly, when recruiting, these enterprises often have high requirements for people, and 985 graduates will have a great chance of success when applying, so this gives us an illusion that 985 students will go to some big companies or well-known enterprises. If they don't apply for these enterprises, there must be something wrong.
But in fact, from the perspective of personal career development, whether you are in a small company or a big company, you have great possibilities for growth and development.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of big companies and small companies
Large companies generally have perfect management systems and personnel training systems. Entering such a company, you can receive more formal training and have more opportunities and resources to get in touch with more things. But big companies have disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that the division of labor is relatively fine. The business you are in contact with may only be a link in the whole chain. In addition, large companies have relatively low freedom for employees' career development paths, which also makes your future career development less likely.
But small companies are just the opposite. Because of their small scale, the division of labor among employees is not particularly detailed. The same employee may have to do several jobs at the same time, and in the career development path, the degree of freedom is relatively large, and the possibility of the future will be great. This possibility includes both good and bad aspects. The disadvantage is that small companies are at great risk of survival. If the company does not develop smoothly, it is likely to face bankruptcy. But if the company develops smoothly, you are likely to become a partner and shareholder of the company, and get the company's equity and options.
To sum up, whether 985 graduates enter a big company or a small company depends entirely on their personal value orientation. If you expect to enter a relatively stable environment, then you can choose to enter a big company, but if you expect to gain greater possibilities, then entering an unknown small company is not necessarily a bad thing.
