My postgraduate entrance examination experience
I am a girl and graduated from a 211 science and engineering university in Beijing majoring in finance.
During college, I was addicted to mixed clubs, and my grades were generally not qualified to be admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination. I had no internship experience and my resume was empty. At that time, I had no competitiveness in finding a job, so I could only choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Although I have experienced nearly a year of physical and mentally damaged and hellish preparation, I finally missed the Southwest University of Finance and Economics , which I applied for, by 6 points. The score line for that year was 385 points, which was more than 30 points higher than the highest score in previous years.
is helpless and disappointed, but the preparation process is really difficult, and I don’t want World War II anymore. was also considered lucky. After some twists and turns, it was finally transferred to Northeast University of Finance and Economics .
specialist, two-year system. I taught well in school in the first half of the first semester, and in the second half of the semester, I began to think about my future career plan for .
At the beginning, I firmly stayed in big cities to develop. The finance major is only able to enjoy it in first-tier cities. has heard of so many successful cases of financial people. I am ambitious and ambitious. I always feel sorry for not achieving the "annual salary of one million" for myself.
so I began to fill my resume from multiple dimensions, get a scholarship with the third major score, and used my spare time to pass the first-level and CPA ( Certified Public Accountant ) accounting subjects, and constantly accumulate internship experience.
However, in Dalian, there are few opportunities for high-quality financial industry internships. I asked my mentor to find an internship in a securities investment bank in Beijing. In the second half of the semester of the first semester of the first year of the graduate school, I began my internship trip to Beijing by skipping classes.
Internship life
At that time, the average price of renting a house in Beijing was about 3,000 yuan per month for renting a bedroom alone.
In order to save money, I found out that there are cheap shared houses rented for postgraduate entrance examination students near some universities, which only cost more than 1,000 yuan per month.
An aunt in her 50s picked me up from the subway station and took me to see the house.
It was an old community. I followed my aunt into the dark corridor. She opened the door and I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
only has one room, the shape is long, there are 4 beds on both sides of the wall, all of which are top and bottom bunk, all of which are close to each other, allowing 16 people to live in, and the middle aisle can only accommodate 2 people standing side by side.
bathroom is less than 1 square meter, and a washing machine is stuffed into it. There are about eight or nine people in the room. The girls on the bed are wearing hurdle vests and small tables to study. The stuffy summer air makes me feel breathless.
I almost escaped. I remembered the 140 square meters large house in my small city, and thought to myself, why bother me.
Fortunately, I was lucky. My family helped me contact my distant relative in Beijing. The house was empty, so I asked me to move in for the time being. The accommodation problem was solved.
Let’s talk about internships. Internships in securities investment banks are hard to come by. Not only do they have no internship salary, they also don’t have enough food. They can be said to have paid for their own internship experience.
I live in Tiantongyuan , the legendary "major transport station".
Get up at around 6 o'clock every day, sweep a shared bicycle from the entrance of the community, ride 2 kilometers to the subway station, and take an hour and a half to drive. The whole journey is like a hot dog and is caught by people from all directions.
In order not to waste time, I watched the downloaded CPA video on my mobile phone, and walked 1 kilometer to the company after arriving at the station.
Lunch buy a boxed lunch at the convenience store at the door. He got off work normally at 6 pm, went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, got home at 8 o'clock, made some simple meals by yourself, finished 9 o'clock, and after working overtime for a while, he started to learn the courses that he had missed due to skipping classes, and continued to prepare for the CFA Level 2 and CPA exams.
Beijing gives me the feeling that it is a city running at high speed. People are in a hurry, as if you stop for a second and you will be left behind by the entire city, always putting me under high intensity and high pressure.
In Beijing, I have no life, I am seeking survival.
seek medical treatment alone
just persisted like this for almost half a year, and the problem arose, and my body couldn't bear it.
The huge pressure during the postgraduate entrance examination, going to bed late and getting up early made me suffer from "chronic gastritis" . During the internship, my hunger and fullness and inability to eat dinner on time made me feel hungry every day from five to six o'clock in the afternoon.
Because I have been too busy, I can't take time to go to the hospital.
One afternoon, my colleagues went out to do business together. After finishing, we ate a crab porridge together. There was a whole crab lying in a big pot of porridge.
I had insomnia that night. At two or three o'clock, my stomach was overturned and I felt weak all over. Then I vomited and had diarrhea, and I even had bloody stools.
I was frightened and immediately called my leader for leave and prepared to go to the hospital the next day.
The next day, I hung up an emergency number and sat alone in a chair in the hospital corridor waiting. There were people coming and going in front of me, some with solemn expressions, while others with pain.
At this time, a bed was pushed quickly from me. I looked up and regretted it.
A man was lying there, with his right arm on his chest, his thumb seemed to be cut off by a sharp weapon, his flesh and blood were blurred, his eyes were closed tightly, and his face was struggling.
My heart was filled with fear.
My test results came out, and I could only find out that there was blood in the stool, but the reason was unknown.
I am very worried. A person who is helpless in a big city has a fragile mind. In addition, various tweets such as sudden death of migrant financial workers and young cancers on the Internet have shocked me.
After calling my mother to cry, I could no longer bear it and booked a ticket to go back to school.
Congested traffic, high housing prices, indifferent relationships, and the haze all over the sky.
I have no good feelings for Beijing anymore.
Beijing, goodbye, never see you again!
My current situation
Although my hometown is a provincial capital, it is just a third-tier city.
There is no bustling urban life, no rich entertainment projects, and no opportunities to make money everywhere. It is just a quiet place to live, a place where people can relax physically and mentally.
Before graduation, I went back to my hometown and focused on the exam.
has been working for three years. You asked me if I regret giving up a big city and returning to my hometown. My answer is: It smells so good! Although
has not made a name for itself and has an annual salary of one million, the years are peaceful and happy.
I no longer worry about my body. I have time to exercise and have time to relax every day. I have my own life, my own family, a stable job, and a pretty good income.
I talked about my own experience, not to advise you to give up on the big city and return to your hometown, but to have the following suggestions, I hope it is for your reference:
1) You should make your choice based on your actual situation and practice to gain true knowledge. Only by experiencing it yourself can you know whether it is suitable for you. The scattered things that others say cannot make your own decisions on your own.
2) If you choose, don’t sway left and right, and identify a place to find a job. Otherwise, the written test, one side and two sides will go back and forth, and not only will the cost you invest a lot, but you will often lose sight of one thing.
3) It is not recommended to work in a big city for a few years before returning to your hometown. If you miss the status of a fresh graduate, it is not that easy to find a job. If you take the civil service exam and enter the unit within the system, you will lose your age advantage.
and above is my story, I hope it can bring you a little help. Thank you for listening, and I hope you can also choose your future path calmly. ✨
