毕业这两年,林睿常常被同学、朋友调侃称为加班狗”,但他自己并不喜欢这样一个称呼,因为带个“狗”字,多少让他觉得没尊严

“加班,只不过是我为了在这个社会生存下去出的妥协。”

的确,那些牺牲的周末和睡眠让林睿有了比同龄人更高的薪水,在知名外企工作的经验也让他的履历更加具有竞争力

眼前煎熬,但也许今后的生活可以变得轻松。”林睿说出了自己的憧憬

接受“996”工作的这些年,李畔也感到身心疲惫,但纠结权衡过后,他也没有选择离开。

“行业的年薪大概都在30万以上,如果能够成为架构师,年收入可能会达到60万以上或者更高,收入还是比较可观的。”李畔这样描述自己的职业规划

虽然“IT男过劳死”的新闻时不时曝出,他的头发也越变越少,但短暂感慨反思过后,他还是会回到办公桌继续埋头写代码

码农的这几年,李畔银行账户上的数字也在和他的体重同步增加。最近,他和妻子规划着把北五环外的房子换成一个地段更好一点的学区房

“虽然钱还差很多,但这份工作至少能让我们距离自己的梦想更近一些。”李畔说。
