It hurts! When you, who are just data, return to your hometown...

The Spring Festival is coming soon. Many students will face various questions from relatives when they go home, such as what is your job? Where is your girlfriend? How much do you make a year? When faced with these questions, how do you answer? The author of the following article demonstrates the correct way for us. Students who don’t know how to answer when they go home for the Spring Festival should learn it quickly.

The Spring Festival is here! My classmates should have started to go home one after another... Every Spring Festival, there are some standard dishes waiting for us.

for example:

• How to deal with questions like “How much is your salary?”, “Are you married yet?”, “When are you going to have a second child?”
• How to deal with the challenge of "You only earn this little, you are not as good as Xiao Wang next door"
• How to pass the time after the excitement of the first day back home
• How can you have more fun? Here are some tips!

1. How to explain your work

Wrong example: I work in data/big data...

Once these words are spoken, they often lead to a puzzling question.

Correct demonstration: I am an advisor to my boss, so please ask me any questions you have.

It’s instantly very classy!

Second, how to explain the fact that I don’t have a girlfriend yet…

Wrong example: Just fight back...

Correct demonstration: Among your WeChat friends, pick one with a sexy profile picture and one with a pure profile picture (if you really can’t find either, you can add two tea girls/micro-business people, and you’re done), and ask everyone which one is better.

Not only can you change the topic, but you will also find that "ask whether it is first, then ask how much it is" is definitely an advanced skill that most people don't have, hehe.

3. How much money can you earn in a month?

Wrong example: I can earn XXXXX yuan a month.

When Teacher Chen first started working, his salary was low, and people always looked down on him when he told them the exact amount. "With this little money, you might as well work for your second uncle," "You're still a graduate student, and your cousin makes more than you."

When I became successful and rich, the tone changed again: "Oh, your cousin wants to move to a new house, but she is short of 100,000 yuan." "Your cousin's life in Shanghai is not easy, and you have many connections..."

What to do?

Correct demonstration: "I don't make much, and my monthly mortgage is 20,000 yuan..." Everyone shut up after hearing this. Hahaha. If you haven't bought a house yet, you can say: "I can afford to buy a house in XX community in our city", which will change the topic to whether to go back home for development, or to develop in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen... That's it.

4. Can you recommend any interesting TV shows or books to help pass the time?

As for TV, I recommend watching "The Ming Dynasty".

• If you are a data analyst, you can learn from Hai Rui, learn how he analyzes core issues, cleverly uses processes, and fights against various unreliable demands from superiors.
• If you are a data analysis manager, you can learn from Hu Zongxian and learn how he deals with pressure and balances the interests of all parties so as not to offend your boss while pushing the project to completion.
• If you are a boss, you can learn... Wake up! Have you ever seen a boss who started out as a data analyst?

We can learn from everyone in the play: how to serve a fickle boss like Jiajing...

Some students may think that this drama is too depressing, because it is full of old men. Then I recommend watching: "The Wolf of Wall Street". I really recommend it because this drama is about how to manipulate data.

As for books, I highly recommend "Ming Dynasty under the Microscope" by Prince Ma, which seriously discusses how data collection, data calculation, and data reporting, these seemingly unimportant details, affect the historical direction of an empire. The writing style is also very relaxed and humorous, which is interesting and informative. Teacher Chen also recommended this book as a must-read for data to the business department.

The above is all. I wish all the students a happy new year, progress every year, and a happy holiday.
