This paper deeply analyzes the status quo and dilemma of the career development of the slash youth, such as the role conflict under the part-time work mode, the career development path being unclear, and the lack of protection of social security, rights, and interests. At the same time, it explores the corresponding countermeasures, including precisely planning the career path to strengthen the core competitiveness, optimizing the time management and role coordination strategy, and improving the social security and rights and interests protection mechanism. Through the discussion of the dilemma and countermeasures, the study aims to help the slash youth to better realize career development under the new business format and grasp the diversified development opportunities.
