Once you enter Amazon, you are like entering a besieged city? Sellers tearfully reveal the current situation of cross-border career change!

Qian Zhongshu once said in Fortress Besieged : People in the city desperately want to escape, and people outside the city are crazy to squeeze in. Although these two sentences were originally a description of people's marital status, they are now very appropriate to describe the current industry circulation in the cross-border circle.

In the eyes of others, Amazon is like a big cake . Especially when people around them are doing well at Amazon, they begin to be eager to try. It is understood that many Amazon artists have now begun to think about switching to Amazon.

A netizen posted on Weibo that it is assumed in the industry that poor sales are the fault of the artist , while hot sales are the work of the operations staff , so he wanted to change careers and try operations.

The comments below are also hilarious. Some netizens urged the contributors to change careers as soon as possible. Although the workload of operations is heavy, it is indeed profitable.

Some netizens also believe that every boss is like this to "PUA" employees to transfer jobs. The actual situation is too far from the ideal , so it doesn’t make much difference whether to change or not. Besides, operating on Amazon requires a strong heart, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with Amazon’s unpredictable industry rhythm.

However, in the wave of "Amazon for All", it is not only art design that wants to change careers. Newcomers from law, electrical engineering, English, computer science and other majors are eager to join Amazon. This trend of career change makes sellers wonder: What is the charm of Amazon that can attract waves of newcomers to join?

In this regard, cross-border people in the "besieged city" sigh helplessly. When the cross-border circle is so serious, there are still leeks continuing to fall into the trap? Have they ever thought that they, who are envied by outsiders, actually want to switch to other industries , and some sellers even want to switch to mining.

It has to be said that Amazon has indeed fallen into the "siege effect". People inside want to seek relief, while people outside are trying hard to step in . What are the psychological paths of both parties inside and outside the city wall?

Laymen like to join in the fun, while experts weigh the details

In recent years, Amazon's huge profits have attracted a considerable number of new sellers. Data shows that so far this year, Amazon has added 296,000 new sellers worldwide. This shows that the cross-border e-commerce industry is booming at a visible speed.

Among these new sellers, there are many novices from other industries. In their eyes, Amazon's operations have flexible working hours and lucrative profits, making it a blue ocean field with huge potential.

As an Amazon seller once revealed, his friend wanted to do cross-border e-commerce. When asked why, the other party said: He felt that being a seller was faster to make money , and some of the clients he had taken over were too profitable, so he wanted to do it too.

This idea is actually the voice of most people who are changing their careers. In fact, the e-commerce industry is indeed a relatively inclusive industry. The entry threshold is not high , and the rejection of other professions is not very strong. Therefore, more and more people choose to enter the industry and get started.

Laymen may just join in the fun, but experts can see the tricks. For some operators who are already engaged in the e-commerce industry, they switch from traditional e-commerce to cross-border e-commerce to do Amazon. There are several reasons:

1. The domestic market is gradually becoming saturated: As traditional e-commerce is not as profitable as before, sellers need to open up new paths.

2. Better profits: Due to the low domestic manufacturing costs, a complete supplier system, and the exchange rate difference, domestic products have certain advantages in Europe and the United States. A single hot-selling product can allow sellers to make a lot of profit. Therefore, compared with domestic e-commerce, there are greater prospects for making money.

It is not difficult to see that even if they are all novices in cross-border e-commerce, there are certain differences in the psychological paths of career change between newcomers with no industry experience and those with certain e-commerce experience. However, the most important reason why everyone wants to join Amazon is its high profits.

Is it really quick to make money? What you don’t know about the real working life of Amazon employees

So is the income of Amazon sellers really as high as rumored?

Data shows that nearly three-quarters of Amazon sellers (74%) earn more than $1,000 per month , and more than half of sellers (50% ) have lifetime sales of more than $100,000.

Some sellers also gave some answers:

From the discussions among sellers, we can see that some sellers have been in the industry for 1-2 years but are still short of money . There is a serious mismatch between salary and working hours, which makes people feel that they are wasting their time.

Therefore, it is undeniable that some people have indeed struck gold in this industry, but there are still many people who have been working for a long time and cannot achieve their expectations . Instead, they are madly crushed by various problems in the boring operations.

Faced with the flock of newcomers from outside the industry, the Amazon people said with tears in their eyes: Come, come and experience the scenery and darkness of Amazon, maybe it will enhance your ability to withstand blows.

After all, working overtime and staying up late are commonplace for Amazon operations. If you are not careful, products will be taken off the shelves, funds will be frozen, advertising will be burned like crazy, and the order volume will not improve . These experiences that "make you cry when you talk about them" are the current situation of Amazon employees.

Therefore, every time the annual job-hopping period of March and April comes, many Amazon employees have the idea of ​​quitting and changing careers.

After all, when the body can no longer bear the workload and the work is not up to one's expectations, making money becomes secondary. Therefore, working on Amazon is not as glamorous as it looks to outsiders. Only sellers can probably understand the hard work behind it.

It can be said that there are 360 ​​professions and it is a current situation for young people to change their careers . In this regard, it is recommended that you take a closer look at the real situation of the industry before changing your career and decide whether to enter the industry after doing enough homework. After all, if you do not have the ability to bear risks, it may be difficult to enter the cross-border industry. On the contrary, this may become an opportunity for you to make a new comeback.

Finally, I hope that everyone can maximize their value in a position that truly suits them. If you have any other experiences about Amazon’s career change that you would like to share, please leave a message in the comment section below~
