In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was enlightened by the Bodhisattva to "change jobs" and accompanied Tang Monk to learn scriptures. From the initial ecstasy, to later want to escape from the master, and then to convert to Buddhism, his mental journey can be described as twists and turns.

Nowadays, job hopping is nothing new, but after changing jobs, most people's mentality will experience several inevitable fluctuations, just like Wukong.

First, the honeymoon period. The expectation of a new job will make people feel "blind optimism". Once the job is successful, they will be confident. This stage is like a new job, full of enthusiasm and energy.

Second, the setback period. Over a long period of time, when you find that your work is inconsistent with your expectations and you don't attach so much importance to them, your enthusiasm will easily be hit and you will feel frustrated.

Third, the downturn. The accumulated sense of frustration and loss makes people regret, confused, and even want to change jobs. At this time, the most important thing is to adjust the mentality and shift the focus of life, such as reducing the expectations of income and position, cultivating some hobbies, etc., instead of indulging in complaints and frustration.

Finally, the landing period. After psychological tests, most people will gradually understand the work, gradually integrate into the new corporate culture, objectively view the gains and losses, and start "landing" in mentality. At this time, you should remind yourself not to aim too high and try to reach the sky in one step, but to learn more from the experience of older employees and give yourself "sufficient power".
