Colleagues at the same level are all easy to get along with.
Advice for people just entering the workforce who are attending interviews:
1. Does the actual job content match what was described after joining the company?
2. What is the basis for a salary adjustment after the probationary period ends? Is it based on KPIs? It should be clear so that there are rules!
3. Do you have control over the application process for compensatory leave for overtime? Is it possible for the amount to be reduced during the application process?
4. Find out whether overtime and compensatory leave are calculated on a 1:1 basis. Does one hour of overtime mean one hour of compensatory leave? Can compensatory leave be taken in small increments? Is it calculated by the hour or by the day?
5. You should also learn about the company’s turnover rate, although managers can lie to you about it.
6. Is the year-end bonus fixed? Is it one month’s salary? Will deductions be made under other names?
7. Can you actually receive the employee travel benefits, or are they just out of reach? For example, there may be a subsidy after one year of employment, but if more than half of the employees do not participate, the trip will not take place and cannot be organized.
8. Is there training after joining the company? Will someone guide you so that you can quickly understand the project process? Is someone really going to guide you, or will you simply be left to fend for yourself?
9. A problem that every design company encounters is the production schedule. Pay attention to the number of pages, content, scale, and scope of revisions involved in the work. All of these need to be communicated and negotiated with the relevant departments. If anything exceeds the agreed scope, be sure to raise it.
10. Pay attention to your supervisor’s attitude and sense of responsibility before submitting proposals and after receiving a project. Can they stand on the same side as you?
11. Are the production requirements clear? Will they keep changing them repeatedly? What amount of revisions is considered reasonable? Is there a situation where multiple people are giving conflicting instructions? It is recommended that client requirements and the execution plan be integrated during meetings.

Advice for anyone looking for any job:
Regardless of the type of job, you should first set learning goals. How long can you tolerate doing non-project support work? A year? Six months? If the job does not meet your expectations, should you start planning your next step?
Relationships between people are important; helping one another is important; and carefully observing and learning to read the atmosphere is important. If you feel that you are not being recognized or trusted, believe in yourself.
