As the year draws to a close, a wave of resignations has swept the cross-border industry. With the arrival of the resignation wave, the recruitment situation of many companies has also changed. Unlike the beginning of the year, the recruitment work at the end of the year seems to be going particularly smoothly, and the competition for operation positions is very fierce ...
Previously, when many cross-border company bosses recruited operations, they valued the applicants’ operational capabilities and performance the most. But now, as platform policies continue to tighten, more bosses are more concerned about whether operations have “stable” capabilities, and they are pursuing a stable win.
Competition for operations positions is fierce, and most base salaries are less than 10k
A boss who posted a job posting on a recruitment website said that he had noticed a significant increase in the number of people submitting resumes during this period . At the beginning of the year, no one applied, but since the end of last month, more than a dozen people have been submitting resumes every day. The seller said that the company is currently recruiting operations personnel, and the only attractive thing may be that the overall commission is relatively good, and the overall employee salary level is also indicated in the recruitment information.
Another year of hard work has passed. Recently, there have been reports that some operations managers in the industry have received year-end bonuses of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, which has attracted envious glances from both inside and outside the industry. However, in reality, there are many operations managers who choose to leave at the end of the year because they do not get the expected salary.
After leaving the previous job, one of the goals of the next job is to increase salary, which is the job-seeking goal of most operations.
However, the editor searched in the recruitment software and found that the current recruitment salary for operations positions has decreased compared to before. Operations positions with a basic salary of more than 10k are not everywhere in Shenzhen . Some recruitment requirements with a basic salary of more than 10k state that job seekers must have more than 1-2 years of operations experience.
After experiencing this year's industry shock, what is the current situation of different operators? An operator with richer experience summarized: "Operators who have seen various reasons for account suspension and have a set of strategies usually have a salary of more than 15k; operators with a little operating experience are almost in a state of Buddhism, although there are no major problems, but they can't make many orders; and some newbies who just entered the market were "swept" in and can only lose money... "
Looking back at the recruitment market in the first half of the year, operations positions were very popular, and talent was in short supply, with a large number of companies scrambling to recruit. In just half a year, many cross-border companies left the market due to internal competition, went bankrupt and laid off employees one after another, and the supply of operations talent exceeded demand, resulting in a decline in job salaries.
Overall, after experiencing the industry's scour, not only companies but also some operations are more cautious when looking for jobs. "I must find a mature company for my next job, otherwise nothing will be perfect, there will be no future, and even the salary will not be guaranteed," said a job seeker.
For some operations staff who leave at the end of the year, the resignation wave is more like an opportunity. They choose to resign to give themselves space and opportunity to think: Should they continue on the Amazon path in the future? If they change careers, wouldn’t their time and experience in the past few years be wasted? Which industry should they start from scratch in the future?
Amazon's operations are "cooling down"? Where will you go after leaving?
Unlike the beginning of the year when no one submitted resumes, Amazon now receives more than a dozen resumes every day for operations positions, which has caused many people in the industry to express their confusion as to why so many people are leaving at the end of the year, and they are even more puzzled as to what they are going to do after leaving?
According to the interview data, most operations staff said they would continue to work in operations. However, one HR expressed his opinion on the operations staff interviewed recently, saying that the basic salary required by operations staff was too high. He had just interviewed an ordinary operations staff, but the staff asked for a basic salary of 10K~12K. When asked why he made such a request, the staff said that the salary was like that in the previous job, and the salary for the next job could not be lower. It is really hard to imagine the situation of high-tech operations staff recruiting at the beginning of the year.
As for the current situation, some operations require a high base salary in order to have a guarantee, but from the perspective of company managers, a high base salary is a negative incentive and can easily put people in a "retirement" state. After all, lying down is a trend in today's society.
Regarding the question of whether it is easy to find a job after many operations personnel leave their jobs, some HRs said that what the industry lacks now is experienced operations personnel, especially those who are free from crazy evaluation and white hat techniques, but there is no shortage of ordinary operations personnel.
"As far as Amazon's operations position is concerned, 80% of operations staff are very vague about the underlying logic of operations marketing. Their operations are limited to the background , and they do very little analysis on marketing, customer behavior, customer preferences, etc. " said an HR.
For those who want to offer 10K+, many HRs said that they basically couldn't answer the last question, which was a bit embarrassing. Generally speaking, as long as your ability can keep up, it is completely fine to offer a base salary of 20K , but most interviewees basically answered that it was the last salary, and this time it can't be lower. This group of people are most likely those who joined the company at the end of last year and are leaving now. Their salaries have been raised by the industry, but their personal abilities have not grown.
The situation of high-salary recruitment of operations at the beginning of the year has obviously become a thing of the past. Now, under the wave of account blocking, the hot situation of operations recruitment has obviously cooled down. Some HR also said that some Amazon operations people who have left are already thinking about what they can do after leaving Amazon?
A self-media in the cross-border e-commerce industry, writing about Amazon every day. Go back to my hometown and take care of my one and a half acres of land. Open a psychological counseling room for cross-border e-commerce companies to provide psychological counseling to sellers every day. Be a service provider and make the difference. Provide training for cross-border e-commerce operations and export all your industry knowledge. Let’s just go and pick up the bottles happily.
From the perspective of operators' thinking about the future, more people will still choose careers related to cross-border e-commerce. One operator said that after many years in the industry, he has a better understanding of the industry knowledge, and he can use his advantages to build a new career in the future, and the development should be good.
However, there are also operators who transformed from cross-border e-commerce to other industries, and finally regretted it and said they wanted to return to the cross-border e-commerce industry. One operator said that he joined a relatively large cross-border e-commerce company in Shenzhen shortly after graduation, but because he wanted to do what he liked when he first entered the society, and because his leadership was not good, he chose to resign after three months of employment. Then he joined an advertising company as an operations planner, and found out a few months later that he still wanted to go back to cross-border e-commerce operations. Can he still go back now?
This also serves as a warning to many operators who want to transform. When they are struggling to leave, they should consider their current situation and decide whether to continue working in the Amazon industry after considering many factors. But in general, whether it is Amazon or other industries, as long as you are down-to-earth, you can Amazon operations Basic salary |
