Academician Intel gave three suggestions to Chinese young IT technicians

A few days ago, at the 10th anniversary of Intel China Research Center and the 2008 Intel China Research Forum held in Beijing, Kang kaiwen, Senior academician of Intel Enterprise Technology Division and director of the Communication Technology Laboratory
(Kevin Kahn), academician of Intel digital enterprise division and Director of compiler and architecture senior Development Department, Geoffrey
Lowney, Joseph shutz, vice president of Intel Enterprise Technology Department
D. Schutz) talked face-to-face with young IT engineers engaged in research and development from IT companies and research institutes and gave them tips on how to achieve success on the technical career path.

1. factors for success in a technical career: "Quality, opportunity, flexibility"

For everyone engaged in IT technology R & D, their biggest ideal is to become a technology leader with a strong influence on the industry. However, many people are not clear about the prerequisites for achieving this goal.
.

In the face of the engineers and technicians present, Roger Fei talked about his understanding of this issue: "Success equals to preparation and opportunity. Only when the two are combined can they succeed. Preparation requires both skill and
The expertise of a field must have a series of very solid and basic qualities. You must not only love this field, but also understand it. The so-called opportunity is a business opportunity. Not everyone can become Bill Gai.
But we have the possibility of becoming Bill Gates. That is to say, in an industry, if you are familiar with a field, professional knowledge in this field, plus good opportunities, you can
."

Speaking of success, Conway stressed that technicians must be flexible: "what you understand today may become different tomorrow. Therefore, as a successful technician, you must be flexible enough.
So that you can remain active in this exciting technology field five or ten years later. Therefore, to succeed, you must be flexible and learn quickly, learn while doing, and constantly improve ."

2. "Enjoy the competition and be enterprising"

The road to success is not smooth sailing. When asked about the setbacks he encountered, Kevin told the attendees about his experience: "I have been involved in an Intel 960
But the project is canceled. Several of us have had this experience, that is, the experience of focusing on work for some reason, being owned by the company, or being abandoned by the market. However
It does not prevent us from continuing to succeed in our career. The accumulated experiences in setbacks are also the most valuable. So the important thing I want to talk about is that a person must be enterprising.
This does not mean that your career has been damaged or ended. You should continue ."

"On the road to success, a competitive environment is also essential ,"
Joseph shutz added: "when your job is competitive, it is very good for you. You don't care how many hours a day, because you know that if you don't work hard, your competitors will do more
Okay. Everyone should compete with each other while enjoying the competition. Therefore, fierce competition is a good thing for success ."

3. "Do not transform to a management position too early"

Many excellent technical staff once faced the confusion of this career development-they have made some achievements in the technical field, hoping to get a promotion opportunity to have a greater impact on the company, or hope to get a better career.
When paying, they choose transformation-from the first-line technical R & D work to becoming an Enterprise Manager. However, once they are transformed, their technical advantages are likely to be no longer useful, and they may also begin from their career
And their enterprises will also lose a technical elite.

"This situation is very detrimental to sustained technological innovation," said Kang kaiwen, Senior academician of Intel, who has been working for 32 years and has obtained the highest "title" in Intel's Academician System, the enterprise must provide technical support
Provide a good platform for them to focus on their favorite technical work. Gordon Moore promoted the formation and development of Intel's Academician System, turning the career development of technicians at Intel into a "double ladder" parallel with managers.
System ". It allows all Intel employees engaged in technical work to be promoted without switching from R & D to non-technical work ."

In front of the IT Engineer, shutz said with great enthusiasm: "If you are a technology-loving person, do not transform to a management position too early. First, it is very difficult for managers to return to technical positions.
Second, if you want to become a manager, you must have expertise in a certain technical field, so that you can help solve practical problems, you can provide them with some supportive help to build your own power.
Letter. All of you here are very young and will become stars in the future. I hope that you will be able to take long enough time along a path like Academician intel, and then think about whether to make another choice, such
Is a manager ."
