This life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
Skills are not valuable, only skills that can be priced are valuable.
It's not about "low salary", but "I find that the work I do can be done by anyone else."
Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
· Three-year income increase <20%
· No any showcaseable achievement cases
· Skills cannot be independently priced
Career Assets
This stage requires a transformation: from "What I can do" to "What I can deliver".
Career assets consist of four parts:
① Ability——Can do
② Case——Done, can be shown
③ Client/Employer——Someone is willing to pay
④ Word of Mouth——He will recommend you
Only ① is not an asset. ②③④ together are.
Have an ability that others cannot replace
Income can take a step up
Have the confidence to negotiate
Definition
Number of showcaseable cases · Non-wage income ratio · Negotiation ability
How to Calculate
How many cases can be shown to clients or interviewers; proportion of side business income
Healthy Range
≥3 cases · Non-wage ≥10% · Once actively poached
Only waiting for a promotion in one company —— The ceiling is set by the company
Skills do not seek monetization —— Practicing without money is equivalent to not having
Blindly changing jobs for a 20% raise —— Breaking is accumulation
Disregarding small orders —— The first customer is the most expensive
Waiting until ready to take on work —— Never ready
Do a skill to the point where it can be charged independently (even 100 yuan)
Get the first paying customer or independent project
Accumulate 3 showcaseable cases
Consciously maintain reputation (peers, clients, former colleagues)
Assess every two years: How many years can my ability be used
