Sex and learning ability. I especially need to talk about initiative. As long as the assigned tasks are completed with good quality and quantity, most people will think that I am an excellent employee. What is the meaning of initiative? You know, the company we are currently working for.
Most of the management is not standardized, and there are many places that need to be actively improved and optimized. At the same time, few people will remind you where the most value-added improvement points are. If you happen to do it and get the approval of the leader, then congratulations, good day.
Here comes the baby! Earlier, one of our engineers just started RF development. Radio frequency is radio frequency, and a wire is a component. If you can't walk in a straight line, you must walk in a curve. Very particular. So the company has no norms.
The development of wireless products is unfavorable, and radio frequency accounts for a large part. From the cost point of view, 70% of a GSM system is the cost of radio frequency, so radio frequency must have a set of specifications, including material selection.
In order to standardize, he organized a team to work together and was later promoted to the manager of the wireless R&D department. Coincidentally, according to Tang Jun (let's just believe his story), we can learn and provide more.
The solution of simultaneous release of language version system will bring great commercial value to Microsoft, and will undoubtedly be valued by the company.
These qualities are necessary for excellent R&D talents. Whether born or acquired, many people improve their quality through continuous experience in their careers. However, quality and consciousness are two different things, and they seem to be the best.
The sword hidden in its sheath is always a "legend", not a weapon of achievement: people who lack professional consciousness are different from those who are called qualified professionals. Hippocrates, the ancient Greek medical saint, has gone through a period of shock.
Our vows tell us what the real professional consciousness is: I suggest that reading from time to time can alert ourselves, instead of getting lost between reality and ideal.
Career planning is very important for every R&D personnel, otherwise it will be like a boat drifting on a rough sea, always complaining when it is not satisfactory and boasting when it is proud: it has finally been found.
My reality is far from what I once pursued. A company, a product or even a project has a clear plan, and the direction is corrected in time when there is deviation. The same is true of career. Some people think that the company will pay for it.
Individuals make development plans, such as post qualification management, technology and management dual-channel development, etc. As long as they work hard. You know, although there are similarities between the development plans of companies and individuals, they are endless.
All the same, no matter how responsible the company is, it is impossible to tailor the career for each employee; Entrust your success or failure to others, and you are not very responsible for yourself.
When planning my career, I think the first thing is to be self-aware and clear about my own direction. According to the current situation in China, few companies provide development channels for R&D engineers to always engage in R&D work that they are good at and love, which means that almost all R&D engineers are facing "career change". Let's take a look at the possible development space of R&D engineers in the future.
From a standard rookie, after several years of painful study and exercise (usually running jobs and looking around, there are very few people with deeper qualifications than you), I became the so-called expert, that is, the senior engineer in the above picture, and then I had a branch office. Of course, it does not rule out that the development channels of some companies will come to an abrupt end here: the pool is too small to hold big fish.
Let's talk about the technical route first: only by going deep into it can we become real technical experts and become the authority of the company in a certain technical field; If you can master the technology, you will know the frame technology of the whole product and be good at posing.
Solve the "fight problem" between subsystems/modules, and you can call yourself a system engineer/architect (that is, Bill Gates' glorious title in Microsoft): living with foreigners for more than ten years is definitely not acceptable, but
It's much shorter in China. This is the so-called "China characteristics". Choosing a technical route means that you have been dealing with technology almost all your life. You need to endure loneliness, calm down and work smoothly. Nothing is magnificent: going out.
Now, when you turn around, you either become an expert in the industry (there is a difference between an expert and an expert, such as Zidane and Nedved on the football field, but it is not bad for us mortals to become the latter through hard work) or you have a specialization in the industry.
Technology was eliminated by the market and became the skill of killing dragons.
Compared with the technical line, the management line looks much better. Is it better to study hard and be an official? In most companies, people are better than technology, although there are two channels to provide "equal" development opportunities and treatment levels, which are actually formulaic.
Those who abide by the rules of the game are bound to have more say. However, behind the scenery are higher requirements and scarce lots. If the company adopts matrix operation and divides the product line and functional line, it means that the product line is in charge and the person in charge is in charge.
It is the product line: the former needs to have affinity, be able to integrate into the working masses, have considerable qualifications, and give face to all departments of the company, which is the so-called connections. Of course, to be a department manager, you have to
Seize the opportunity of the company's rapid development and growth: R&D personnel are all young people now, so don't expect leaders to retire naturally. If the department manager provides resources, be a product manager, be a project manager, and be responsible for leading troops to fight.
Creating cash flow directly for the company is undoubtedly the most beautiful. This requires a keen insight into the market, the ability to control the overall situation and strong execution. It is not easy to be a good project manager.
The manager has worked for many years, but he hasn't really moved from technology to management. These people are scarce resources of enterprises and scarce commodities in the talent market.
In addition to the above channels, R&D personnel can also move horizontally to other relevant departments, such as marketing/sales, pre-sales support, testing, pilot/manufacturing, etc. , mainly using the existing technological advantages, but these departments are not their own "home", it is difficult to seek great development space.
Fortunately, they unexpectedly became the "precipitation layer" of the company: they have a lot of stock dividends, and they have no fault in their business. The best destination for these people is to advance and retreat with the company.
Others think that the company has no room for its own display and leaves the company to start its own business. What I want to say is that there are two kinds of people in the world. One is like a dog. Under the protection of his master, he has no worries about food and clothing and lives forever. This is the majority; another
Like wolves, they are content with a bloodthirsty life and like the thrill of beating their competitors' unique market. Although happiness is short-lived, they did not hesitate. Entrepreneurship is to choose to work hard in the market and face many uncertainties bravely.
Sex, when it is really fame, is ruined. There are also job-hopping to other companies to be technical writers/translators, consultants/trainers, etc. , each has its own characteristics, so I won't go into details.
Seize the opportunity. Suppose there are two engineers with similar abilities and qualifications who work hard and are suitable candidates for future project managers. A project of great significance to the company is about to start, and the competent leader is choosing.
While I was worrying about who to choose as the project manager, it happened that an engineer asked for leave for family reasons: the leader naturally handed over the important task to another "lucky" engineer. And he also successfully completed the project through his own efforts.
Of course, continue to be entrusted with important tasks. When the "unfortunate" engineer came back, he suddenly found that he could only undertake some unimportant projects, and the leader seemed to deliberately avoid him (in fact, the leader explained this to him very depressed)
Thing) Over time, the gap between the two became wider and wider, and the frustrated engineer finally chose to leave.
We should know that absolute fairness does not exist, because it involves subjective will, psychological deviation, comparative reference and environment/opportunity and other factors. In fact, the key in the course of life is just a few steps. If you do well, you will become a star with "outstanding ability", otherwise you can only sigh how you always pass by the lucky god. But opportunities always reward those who are fully prepared. The so-called "preparation",
I think it is the analysis environment (including companies, products, customers, teams, politics, etc. ) Then you should face it tactfully, fully understand the expectations and trends of these customers, and join as soon as possible. At first, it is not humble, but you can become.
Put yourself in a competitive position in the company's key product projects. On the one hand, it avoids the homogeneous competition of personnel in the research and development of mature products, on the other hand, it is easier to create results. In fact, any company has it.
Wang, making money is the last word. Look at Jim, the father of Microsoft Windows.
Allchin (a super-awesome person who once created the glory of windows series products, Microsoft except Gates and Ballmer's No3) due to the failure of Vista development, on the day of Vista release,
I didn't know how cruel the reality is until I officially retired (I accidentally lost my job, but fortunately I still have Microsoft shares, so I can play music when I am free. If I were you, we would be disabled). In fact, R&D personnel need to have a market vision anyway.
Light!
Let me tell you another anecdote: a few years ago, our project team made a network management system (which can only be regarded as pediatrics in the whole company). This walk-on product has not been taken seriously by the company at all: the company doesn't ask much of us, as long as it doesn't get upset.
Annoyed, I can support myself and don't want to make much money for the company. But we don't think so. Let the company know our position. The "opportunity" has finally come! Our network management products are invited for bidding in overseas systems (for
As a gift) also won the bid. During the implementation of this project, customers are very dissatisfied with the delivery progress of network management products (time is tight and tasks are heavy, but our project team still pays little attention to it), but they just value network management-customers.
Users only recognize the information of the network management terminal, are too lazy to go to the equipment side, and even complain about us. By rights, we should respond to the complaint immediately, but in order to show the importance, our project team made a strategic delay (in
Fully aware of the consequences). This is a disaster. The marketing department directly contacted the company's president-level figures, and we also changed from obscurity to household names. Then we showed unparalleled work efficiency,
Send someone to the scene to solve the problem with three strokes and five divisions, and don't forget to remind customers to "praise" us in time-we have suddenly become "stars to turn the tide". This is called "creating opportunities even if there is no opportunity."
Go up. "
