Life in Big 4 after 1 year as UX/UI designer

When I first joined Big4, I knew nothing.

Then I knew things. Then I died. Then I was reborn. And somehow, I survived.

I still don't know everything, but at least I know how to place work in its right place in my life.

It's a tough lesson. But Big 4 taught me how to love myself. 🌟

-

When we joined the new Big4, we didn't really know anything.

Then know many things

Know more. More tired.

To the point where my heart is broken, I barely survive.

But he rebuilt himself and survived to this day.

I haven't known everything in a year, but what Big4 really teaches us is to know where the job should be in life and what it looks like to choose to love yourself. 🌟

... Read moreหลังจากได้ใช้ชีวิตใน Big 4 มาหนึ่งปีในฐานะ UX/UI Designer สิ่งที่ฉันได้เรียนรู้ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องงาน แต่เป็นบทเรียนชีวิตที่สำคัญมาก ในช่วงปีแรกงานนั้นหนักหน่วงและท้าทายมาก มีความรู้สึกเหมือนตายแล้วฟื้นหลายครั้ง แต่สิ่งที่ทำให้ผ่านพ้นช่วงเวลานั้นมาได้คือการเรียนรู้ที่จะจัดลำดับความสำคัญของชีวิตและงานให้ถูกต้อง ฉันเริ่มตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่า 'งานนี้สำคัญแค่ไหนสำหรับชีวิตฉัน?' และเลือกที่จะรักตัวเองให้มากขึ้น ด้วยการให้เวลากับการพักผ่อนและดูแลสุขภาพด้วย สิ่งเล็กๆ อย่างอุปกรณ์ที่ขาดไม่ได้ตอนทำงานอย่างถุงมือสำหรับยกน้ำหนัก หรือกาแฟสักแก้วช่วยเติมพลังใจได้มากกว่าที่คิด นอกจากนี้การมีไทม์ไลน์ส่วนตัว เช่น เวลาทำกิจกรรมออกกำลังกาย cardio หรือเวลานั่งพักผ่อนดูหนัง อ่านหนังสือ เป็นวิธีที่ช่วยให้ฉันรักษาสมดุลและไม่เบิร์นเอาต์ สิ่งหนึ่งที่ฉันแนะนำสำหรับเพื่อนๆ UX/UI Designer หรือใครที่เริ่มต้นใน Big 4 คือการยอมรับว่าการไม่รู้ทุกอย่างเป็นเรื่องปกติ อย่ากดดันตัวเองมากเกินไป และอย่าลืมหาเวลาทำสิ่งที่รักและสุขภาพจิตของตัวเองสำคัญที่สุด ประสบการณ์ปีแรกที่เจ็บปวดและเหน็ดเหนื่อยสอนฉันว่า ความสำเร็จไม่ได้มาเพราะแค่การทำงานหนัก แต่มาจากความสมดุลทั้งงานและชีวิตส่วนตัว รวมถึงการเข้าใจตัวเองอย่างลึกซึ้งด้วย
