Quality career path memories
Writing an English version memories for myself of the last 6 work years, actually this idea occurred in my brain a long time ago, till today, it happens that I am free, and now is the beginning phase of me in my current new company and new position.
I remembered that it was the Feb of 2012 when I came to Jiangsu provide to start my first job, to be honest my first choice was Wuhan because I was a Hubei guy, but unfortunately that I did not find a satisfied job in Wuhan after graduating from a vocational university, a bit miserable even now I think of that period.
My first job was in Suzhou, an enterprise which manufactured sealing material in Solar industry, and my position was the quality system assist engineer, who help the QM to do the awareness training, system conformity checking, calibration and so on…very basic work content maybe now I think back , but I learned many from the basic job, very beneficial because additional, I encountered a good leader there, his experience taught many things, even today, sometime I fell I am impacted by him obviously in some aspect.
But afterward, I left this company as I would like to get a bachelor degree, because in my brain, only after getting a bachelor degree, then I can get the opportunity to join the foreign company to get a bigger platform and higher compensation. But in this company, the holiday time was very limited and the distance from company to the city was very far, whatever time and distance, the company could not fulfill me anymore, so no option but change job to Kunshan.
Do not know how to comment changing job this time…maybe I can learn more from my 1st leader and in the next 3 year, maybe sometime I fell a bit regret especially when I get some setbacks during the work. But never mind, I got my bachelor degree two years later and actually the platform and possible of my second job, was better than the 1st one absolutely.
Regarding my 2nd job, in a Taiwan enterprise, position was quality system supervisor, because it was a new company, so I need to lead the company to establish the ISO9001, QC080000 and TS system, very tried and hard at the beginning and I remembered clearly that I was OT working in the dormitory lonely during the national holiday, very pathetic but also very motivational…
During the 2nd job, because my leader cannot act as a master like the previous one, so many field, I cannot rely on other to give me instruction or direction, oppositely I need to give other advice and help because it was a new company, the system and awareness of it was blank. So on the road of overcoming the challenge, the ability of myself improved dramatically as well.
Approximately 1.5 year later after joining this company, I start to own the SQE, maybe at the beginning, I just want to get more challenge work and then I can negotiate with my boss to get a high salary. but the process was not as smoothly as I imagine, the attitude and manner of me and my boss were different, and many fixed plan of vendor manage were broken because of the instant and un-mature decision from my boss, I felt very frustrated and started to seeking opportunity to resign…
But hereby another reason of wondering resign is the salary. and when it comes to this topic, I need to back to 2012.
In 2012, I start to focus on 6SQ net, and actually I knew my 1st leader and got the 1st job via this website. and at that time, I read many stories of many quality masters there, very adoring in my heart and I made mind to become a master like that too in the future. and I knew monthly salary 7000 Rmb was the ideal number in many quality guys’ heart. So I also wished that I could got a salary within 5 years. ( actual salary was 2500 RMB in 2012).
At the end of 2014, I had an annual summary with my boss and I expressed that I did not satisfied with my current number directly, and also I hinted that I can challenge more if some places needed me, so I took over the work of SQE( including IQC) in 2015, but the salary , was TBD all the time, I was fed a pie… a big pie…
And about two months later, I got an interview invitation form an European enterprise, I was very excited but upset as well, because my English was very poor at that time whatever oral or written. But finally the interviewee did not throw me many hard questions and fortunately I got the offer a week later, because I was eager to escape, so I dare not to do much negotiation of the new position, the salary is 7000RMB, the special number in my heart and this year is 2015.
According the original plan, spending 5 year to reaching 7000, but 3 year later, I got it. I could not remember the feeling when I got the offer, just very happy and doubtful that whether the target I set for myself in 2012 was too low…
Joining the European company is completely a new phase of my career path, even the new position is not a very challenge position, It is also the reason that the company does not give me a higher salary, but in my heart, I am clearer than anybody that the opportunity is more meaningful for me than the salary number.
During the 3 years in the European company, I did 3 very important and correct things, First one is utilizing the work time to restudy the TS five tool , again and again, and then help company establish a new SPC and MSA system, during this process, I upgraded myself from theory to practice. Second one is self-learning the 6 sigma and past the BB examination, then lead a improve project this year. The last one, is spending 15K rmb (6 months’ savings) and 1 year time to improving my English, before making the decision, maybe nobody know the conflict in my heart because the actual situation is that I am really very poor and the price is very expensive… but regarding the reason why I made the decision finally, not only that I want to improve myself to get more space, but also criticized by others during the global meeting as poor English, very thankful for the person who pushed me ….
At the beginning of 2018, I told myself it was the time to leave, to find a new platform… as I knew the promotion space of my current position was very limited, no promotion, no salary increase…one more, I want to use the knowledge what I have learned during the 3 years, I do not want to waste time to service for HSF management and calibration field any more, I can do many other things…
So now I join my current company, become a PQE, who not only is charge of product quality, but also the owner of the continues improve project, and got a double than last one.
Regarding the last 6 years, in general, compliance to my expectation, but just for me.
Maybe in some peer’s eye, the experience like this is shamed to be shared with others.
But one point arose by some people, the frequency of changing job is a bit high, it is really and I did…… I do not know how to explain, maybe just because the update speed of work ability of me is too fast … but I think I will take this point into accounted in the further…
New company, new position… I think it is also the time for me to consider the plan of next 3-5 years, at least I am supposed to accomplish the AQS 6 sigma BB certificate and the external auditor certificate, and if time permit, getting a master degree is also a good idea……
LIFE IS TOUGH, NO OPTION BUT WORKING AND LEARNING HARD…
