If you want to play a good game, you must first understand the rules of the game, and the grade system is the segment rule of the grade promotion game. The rank system defines the distribution of workplace ability levels, job requirements of each level, and promotion rules.
A deep understanding of the rank system will help you make a reasonable promotion goal and plan in this company, and also help you make a reasonable self-evaluation when you change jobs, so as to get better grading results and salary.
Companies and institutions of different natures adopt different rank systems, and there are two most common ones: professional title system and self-reliance system. Most of the big Internet companies are self-reliant and flexible, making a complete rank system, internally evaluating the level of employees, and designing related incentive mechanisms such as salary and benefits according to the rank system. Due to the strong influence of leading Tencent and Ali, the practice of benchmarking Tencent and Ali has gradually formed in the industry.
The rank system is divided into professional line and management line. Professional line refers to the promotion of employees in a certain professional field, and management line refers to the promotion of employees in management positions. Software industry R&D, testing, operation and maintenance, product manager, operation, UI/UE, HR, etc. All belong to professional line promotion.
According to its design characteristics, professional lines can be divided into two categories, namely, leaping ranks and stepped ranks, covering all levels from graduates to industry elites.
Jump grade
There is a big difference between leapfrog and leapfrog. At present, among the well-known domestic companies, Ali, Baidu, Didi, and Today's headlines all adopt leap-forward rankings.
The following table is Ali's ranking system.
Taking technicians as an example, the initial grading of undergraduate freshmen is P5; With the gradual upgrading of ability and experience, most people can be promoted to P7. Usually, the company will require employees who apply for promotion to work at their current level for at least 2 years. In fact, people who can be promoted to the next level after working in their current level for two years are already very powerful, except P5 to P6. Most technicians may need three years.
In this way, if you just graduated from P5, you will be promoted to P6 in two years, to P7 in three years, and to P8 in three years, then it will basically take nine years to be promoted to P8. This is still a smooth situation. If the promotion fails once or twice, it will take longer.
The leap-forward rank has three characteristics: the difference between two adjacent ranks is relatively large, the chances of promotion are relatively small, and the difference in returns at the same level is relatively large. For example, two colleagues who are also P6 may earn more than 50% more than their colleagues who have worked for five years.
In order to distinguish people with different abilities at the same level, some companies also have gear divisions, such as "ABC" or "elementary/ordinary/excellent" and other sub-gears. The main purpose of this is to help HR determine a reasonable salary range.
However, this distinction is generally only used for recruitment, not for internal rating. If this method is adopted internally, the whole rank system will become the "stepped rank" to be discussed next.
Stepped grade
There is little difference between the two levels of the ladder rank, and it rises steadily like a step. At present, the companies that adopt ladder ranking in China mainly include Tencent and Huawei. How is the ladder rank specifically set? Mainly through two indicators: ranking and grade. For example, Tencent's stepped rank is "engineer" or "senior engineer", and the rank is 8 or 9.
The following table is Tencent's ranking system.
Undergraduate freshmen are generally graded at level 4 and graduate students at level 5; 65438+ 0~2 years after graduation, social recruitment 6 ~ 7; Joining the club after three years of graduation is 7 ~ 8; Starting from 9, we can't simply infer from the working years, because the rating above 9 mainly depends on the ability and level.
The characteristics of ladder rank are just the opposite of leap rank, which has three characteristics: small difference between adjacent ranks, many promotion opportunities and small difference in returns at the same level. Because the level division has been relatively fine, there are basically opportunities for promotion every year, and the scope of return will be relatively small.
Ladder ranking has two core defects. One is that it is difficult to objectively define and evaluate the difference between the two grades! But the detailed definition is of little guiding significance in practical work. Because the scope of what technicians at the same level and different levels do is basically the same.
Another drawback is that it is similar to the leap ranking, that is, when there is a leap promotion, it is still
There is a "level gap". Taking Tencent as an example, it is actually a big leap from Grade 8 to Grade 9, which is not a simple promotion, and its difficulty and requirements are completely different from Grade 7 to Grade 8.
Only a qualitative leap in ability can meet the requirements of the next level. Leap-forward ranking has long exposed this problem, so it is easier for you to find and make adjustments. Stepped ranks hide the problem deeper, but you are not so easy to realize it.
I believe that the above information can help you quickly master the rules of the game of promotion and help you make better career planning.
hit sb's vital point
1, the rank system of large factories is mostly self-reliance. Other companies generally benchmark the rank system of Ali and Tencent when recruiting and job-hopping.
2. Ali adopts leap ranking. Leapfrog promotion is characterized by great grade difference, few promotion opportunities and great difference in return at the same level.
3. Tencent adopts ladder ranking. Stepped ranks are characterized by small grade differences, many promotion opportunities and small difference in returns at the same level.
4. There is a problem in both jumping and stepping ranks, that is, the "level gap", and your ability must be "greatly improved" to enter a higher professional level.
