Three points necessary to avoid the “unhappy retirement” that I discovered when my annual income has quadrupled due to changing jobs | So this book. | Diamond Online

From an industrial high school graduate to a consultant with an annual income of 10 million yen at the age of 30.“Change of job helps us-how to join that company that I couldn’t enter because of a new graduate”The author, Ryosuke Yamashita, made his career bloom by changing jobs from a small number of former employees, so to speak.“Straw Millionaire of Job Change”is.
Long interview, the 5th theme is“retirement”.. It is said that there are things to think about while changing jobs in order not to make a retirement that does not make the company or myself happy. I asked Mr. Yamashita, who has never argued when he retired, to tell me the secret. (Interview / Composition / Obara Mitsufumi)

Point 1: “Only companies that you really want to join” are submitted for document screening.

–Mr. Yamashita has had three “retirement” experiences. Have you ever been detained by the company or quarreled when you retired?

Yamashita Ryosuke (below, Yamashita): I’ve never quarreled with the original company. For me, the main reason is that I didn’t get lost. People who are uncertain also cause trouble to the company, so I feel that they often end up with unfortunate results.

-“Don’t hesitate.” What exactly do you mean?

Yamashita: The most important point is that “only the company of the first choice is accepted in the first place”.

In other words, it is decided during the job change activity whether or not to rub with retirement.

There are people who get anxious after failing to select documents several times and look for a job for a “company that is likely to be accepted”, but if they do so, when they get a job offer, they will “join the company or the current company”. It makes me wonder if I will stay in the company. As a result, I decided to take a stubborn attitude toward the current company, discussing it, complaining about the company and aiming to keep it.

Don’t worry about falling, please carefully select and accept only the “company you want to join if you accept”. For myself, Deloitte failed in the document screening twice and won the job offer with honesty for the third time. No matter how many times you apply, it will not be negative, so you can rest assured that point.

Point 2: Do not consult with colleagues about “I want to quit”

――Are there any other things you have been careful about while you were in office?

Yamashita: As a major premise, I made sure not to consult with people in the current company about my career, even if I am a close friend of the same generation.

A common pattern is to get the boss’s attention with the word “I’m going to quit” as a trump card, or to answer “I’ll think about it” when the company asks “Don’t quit”. It is this ill-advised attitude that causes regret, whether or not you retire.

I don’t think that a confusing job change will have a very positive effect on the rest of my life. Then you should think about staying a little longer in your current company. On the other hand, if you change jobs positively without hesitation, even the people in your current company will support you, and you don’t have to connect with people who complain or speak badly.

Point 3: Don’t quit rushing

-Mr. Yamashita is still in contact with the people in his previous job. Why is such a relationship established?

Yamashita: It may be big that “I didn’t quit in a hurry”.

When I got a job offer from the company I changed jobs to, I made a schedule (overall picture) until I quit and took a long time to take over. The image of a person who “leaves this and that and quits in a blink of an eye” is bad even after retirement, and it resonates with the relationships that follow. However, by interacting and deepening relationships even during the transfer period, you will be able to connect with your boss, colleagues, people in other departments, and key persons for a long time. I still have two or three people in each company who are still interacting with each other.

If you don’t understand your true intentions …?

――I think it’s true that “it’s not good to get lost”, but isn’t there a time when you don’t understand your feelings? I have one, but what would Yamashita-san do if he consulted with such a person?

Yamashita: When I was consulted by someone who didn’t know what I really wanted to do, I answered, “There are three goals. Please choose the one you want from the three.”

What are the three choices?

① Raise your annual income
② Do what you want to do
③ Prioritize work-life balance

is. There are gradations for each person, such as “Do you want to make an annual income of 8 million yen or want 10 million yen?” Work: The desired ratio of life is “5: 5 or 8: 2”, but all options for changing jobs are this. I think it can be summarized into three.

In my case, the first priority was “do what I wanted to do” and the second priority was “increasing annual income”.

――What should I do if I say “all three are important!”?

Yamashita: It’s my own theory, but I think people’s true intentions come after the words “but” and “but”. Because no one says “but” if you are serious about making a decision. “Somehow I’m stuck here.” “I’m worried about this company.” … If you’re worried even a little, first try to verbalize your muffled feelings. You can speak or write it out.

for example

“This job is rewarding and I want to take on the challenge, but my child is still small and it takes a lot of work …”

Suppose you think. Since “But” is the real intention, the priority here is “work

Or, if you’re worried that “I’ve always dreamed of this job, but I don’t have an annual income”, I think it’s better to stay at the current company.

You’ll know what to prioritize to avoid unfortunate retirement.
