The first-tier cities are like the Siege written by Qian Zhongshu, there are always people inside who want to go out and people outside who want to come in.
What are the benefits and drawbacks of living in a first-tier city? On this topic, Mr. Wang would like to talk with you:
1. More platforms, more opportunities, more possibilities
Most of the top companies in various industries are located in the first-tier cities, especially in the north, north, south and east of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. As a result, there are more job opportunities in first-tier cities and salaries will be higher.
Lao Wang has a relative's child who studied furniture design in college and had a hard time finding a job in his hometown. Because in that third-tier city, this kind of niche specialty pressed no companies to have such a demand for labor. In the end, his family persuaded him to go to the decoration company as a designer, about 3,000 yuan per month, but he understood that this is not the same thing with furniture design. Later in Beijing, he successfully found a job, the first year of work, is a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.
In first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the demand for talent is diverse, so there are more job opportunities and more chances to find someone who can match your strengths and abilities.
For many young people, what is more important than salary is that they can find what they are suitable for and good at doing here.
2, more cowboys, faster growth
In a gathering, an entrepreneur talked about life in the north, he said a little bit to make Wang very memorable. He said, "There's nothing bullish about a first-tier city, what's bullish is the people who gather here."
On another occasion, Lao Wang chatted with a friend who said, "In Beijing, if you want to work hard, there will be opportunities for you to develop." And then there's the fact that if you say you work hard, there will be more people working harder than you.
The proportion of elites is greater in first-tier cities, where many industry bulls gather. In other words, there is a higher probability that you can meet good leaders, good opponents, and good partners here.
Tier 1 cities are home to an influx of people from all over the world, which in itself represents a collision and fusion, and among them there will be top musicians, awesome screenwriters, and legendary entrepreneurs ...... who are full of parts worth learning from, and who will inspire you to grow rapidly.
3. More inclusive and receptive to new ideas
The charm of first-tier cities also lies in inclusiveness.
Here, you can get married late, you can dink, you can dress up in fancy clothes, and you can have an amazing relationship. But back home, you might even go to a restaurant alone and get pointed at and talked about.
The first-tier cities are more likely to be able to accommodate a wide range of life styles and give people more freedom of choice.
4, the cultural environment and educational resources are better
The cultural environment of the first-tier cities is better, which represents the richness and colorfulness of spare time, represents the satisfaction of the spiritual world.
A consultant once told Wang that the reason why he was holding on to a first-tier city and never returning home was not because of the high salary here or because he believed he could make a name for himself, but because he couldn't bear to let go of the humanistic atmosphere here.
When he has a weekend off, he likes to go to plays, concerts and exhibitions, but once he returns home, he can only go to the highest grossing movies and enjoy the steps of the square dancers.
There is also a portion of married people who can't afford to give up the educational resources of first-tier cities. They want to give up 10,000 times inside themselves, but when they think about their children, they bite the bullet and stick with it.
The city can accommodate a lot of advanced education concepts and bring together more and better educators. So in order to give their offspring a quality environment to grow up in, the parents had to give up some of it.
After the benefits, let's take a look at the drawbacks:
1, the pressure to buy a house, the lack of a sense of belonging
Young people in the first-tier cities is difficult to get rid of the dilemma of the moonlight family.
Monthly salary of 1W, rent 4K, water and electricity grid transportation costs 1K, food costs 2K, buy clothes 1K, the rest of the money is only enough to pay for a year to change a cell phone, the New Year's Eve to buy gifts for parents as well as some of the unexpected events of the consumption.
If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you'll be even more strapped for cash. An occasional illness will quickly deflate the wallet again. The fact that you are waiting to buy a house in a first-tier city with your own hands and have a light of your own is really harder than climbing up to the sky, and you can only dream about it.
Unable to settle down, afraid to have children, moving around ...... in such upheaval, how many people always feel that they are a passer-by, no sense of belonging, floating between heaven and earth.
2. The pace of life is fast, and it is easy to get tired and overworked.
In first-tier cities, 996 seems to be the norm.
At 6 p.m., many small-town youth have already finished dinner. But statistically, only a little more than 20 percent of people in first-tier cities are able to get home by 8pm. Working overtime, squeezing into the subway, and traveling halfway across the city in the dead of night are the only ways to survive in a competitive environment.
For many, it's hard to even have time to cook dinner for their families.
The percentage of overwork deaths is also the largest in first-tier cities. You always think you can still work hard, but when you work hard, you overdraw your health and life.
So, the tiredness of the first-tier cities is the tiredness of the heart as well as the tiredness of the body.
3, loneliness
In the hometown, the human relationship is a kind of burden. It is always overflowing, making it difficult to breathe.
And in first-tier cities, many people will miss this kind of human ties.
Just like Manny Wang in "Just Thirty" said, every day when you go out, you don't know who you run into. It shows the high turnover of people in the city and the need to deal with strangers all day long.
A netizen working in a first-tier city told Lao Wang, "Sometimes when I stay alone in a rented room, I feel that the bustle and noise outside has nothing to do with me." This sense of loneliness can be empathized with by anyone who has experienced it.
Life is a choice, and if you choose to fight alone on your own, then you have to bear this painful feeling of isolation.
In summary, Lao Wang would like to say that living in a first-tier city has its benefits and drawbacks. Whether it should be or not, suitable or not, everyone should have their own answer.
Written in the end
For young people with career ambitions and a thirst for freedom, a first-tier city is always the first choice, which can be a place to put your dreams and retain your personality; and for young people who prefer stability and fear of fighting, a first-tier city will become a source of fear. So it is suitable for survival or not, but also need to be different choices for each person.
