The time I really started thinking about salary before I went to university was just after the college entrance exam ended (2022). At that time, all industries were already chillingly cold. So I was actually thinking then, if I graduate from university, I would like a salary of about 6k-10k, in a city near home or a lower‑cost third‑tier/second‑tier city, working five days a week, 8–10 hours a day, without frequent overtime (overtime can be done in emergencies, but most overtime must be paid). Unfortunately, it now seems that this is already a fantasy.

Employment is really a harsh winter; my goal is a 9-to-5 job with no overtime and a monthly take‑home of ten thousand, but now it feels like a dream

Actually, for Aira‑chan, a slightly lower salary isn’t a big deal, but there are a few conditions that would make a job relatively good for Aira‑chan:
- Little overtime, no push (I want to have good physical and mental health)
- Opportunities for growth, to accumulate experience (not about salary but about professional and business abilities in a certain field or direction)
- A certain sense of meaning and achievement
That would be fine, but now it’s a seller’s market, so it’s all wishful thinking

Labor market, the sellers are workers, so now it is dominated by buying houses. In other words, the number and scale of enterprises are positively correlated with the number of employees. Recently many bosses are also struggling; those that go bankrupt go bankrupt, and those that patch one wall with another keep looking for ways to borrow money.

Don’t use being a fresh graduate to define yourself; often, work is such that while you’re working, you suddenly find your salary has gone up—the world of
We should ask again how much was actually taken.
During middle school it was the tail end of the internet boom, and at that time I didn’t think a job paying several hundred thousand a year would be hard to find.
Now I have a more concrete understanding of society; for example, salary is a chaotic combination of some (technology, projects, output, industry, investors) and various other factors.

Related to the end of the exponential growth of (mobile) internet users, the market of a 1.3 billion‑person population is already saturated.
There are still many opportunities in the existing market; stay optimistic.
Internet companies are gradually becoming similar to state-owned enterprises, both being monopoly firms driven by scale effects.
Many times I feel the internet is like oil in a raging fire, burning and burning, and you never know when it will cool down.
I’ve heard many stories of people who took out mortgages to buy houses at the peak of the market, only to see house prices fall and salaries drop, and half a lifetime’s hard work quietly disappears amid market changes.
So I still hold an unoptimistic attitude toward the future.
Both Chinese and Japanese cultures favor group blind conformity, the rent‑to‑sale ratio is absurdly low, and most people are still being swept up in the frenzy.
Everyone knows exactly how much is actually taken.
I don’t have a job, I have no idea.
I actually want to say that I know.
The social services that renters and homebuyers can enjoy are different.
What exactly is different?
This rent‑to‑price ratio pricing is hard to say. Don’t say it’s a physical house; the market’s guaranteed‑rent REITs have dividend yields of 2 +, absurdly low. It may mainly be because renters are weakly protected, leading to a premium. Including landlords evicting tenants a month or two in advance, the usual talk about not renting to the elderly, etc.
