An old IT engineer in the United States

 

1. plan your own path and do not follow your feelings! According to your ideal decision-making arrangements,
The vast majority of people do not expect to become an Academician or professor, but want to live a bit more moist and cool.
Therefore, you need to carefully arrange your own trajectory. Start from which industry, and gradually gain a deep understanding of the industry,
Do not change jobs frequently. In particular, do not move positions for a small salary. In the long run, this money is nothing,
When you have years of experience in an industry, the future money is not a problem at all. Frequent turbulence is not the best strategy,
In the end, you are not familiar with any industry. You will always be a newbie!

2. Do not indulge in technology. Never go into technology with one mind! Put a lot of pressure on yourself,
If you put all your thoughts on this, you are destined to become a character like Kong Yiji! That's enough,
Because technology is only one of the pillars of your future, and it is not the biggest pillar,
Unless you are willing to be an old engineer!
　　　

3. Do not be a technical master, but a general quality master! We often look down on people when we are in a company,
He said, "I don't know anything. Why do I get so much money? Why do I get promoted !" This is a common example of engineer pedantic.
Is 8051 awesome? People must have his skills, and you cannot.
Do you think the boss has been operating for so many years? People may be good at management,
Be good at understanding the boss's intentions, be good at department coordination, and so on. Therefore, you must develop your own abilities in many aspects,
This includes management, affinity, observation, and research capabilities. To become a master of comprehensive quality,
The future is infinite. Otherwise, you can only view the oscilloscope in the corner! Skills other than technology are more important !!
From ancient times to the present, the United States and Japan are all like this!

4. Make more friends in the community! Do not communicate with engineers only and think that they have a common language,
In fact, it is more important to interact with other people. If you want to become a boss or a senior manager one day,
These are the people you face throughout the day. Understand their experiences, thinking habits, hobbies,
Learning how they handle problems and understanding the phenomena and problems in every corner of society is a huge cost for future development.
In the future, we will be clumsy, stumbling, and encountering many difficulties,
Paying a lot of tuition fees greatly reduces the probability of success!

5. Knowledge is not necessarily specialized, but must be extensive! Take a look at other books,
Finance, accounting, import and export, tax, law, etc,
It will be more useful in the future! A lot of tuition fees will be paid !!

6. Seize the opportunity to change to technical management or marketing! If you want to have a future, you cannot develop it all the time,
When appropriate, it is necessary to change to management or sales. The future will be even greater, and technology will not be used in the past and will be used in the future.
Management can cultivate your own leadership, sales can cultivate your own market concepts and thinking,
At the same time, we will build a huge network of contacts for future development! It should be said that this is the true pillar of the future !!!

7. gradually overcome your weaknesses and personality defects! Suspicious, sensitive, naive (derogatory, not cute ),
Hesitant, timid, worry-free, thin face, not black enough, teaching-style thinking...
The general weakness of these engineers must be changed! Difficult? It's impossible to think about it in bed,
I want to help my friends stay on the shelf for a month. The package is definitely effective. I want to practice it, not just think about it! Do not overcome these shortcomings,
Everything is impossible, and even the project manager is not good-although you may be good at technology!

8. Prepare for future work at the same time! Create your own work environment! Configure a work environment for yourself as soon as possible,
Computer equipment, oscilloscope (you can buy a second-hand one), simulators, programmers, etc,
On the one hand, we can contact the market, cultivate the market feeling, and accumulate funds. More importantly, we can prepare our own products,
There is no money for technology. Only technology represents products rather than educational qualifications and certificates,
You can transfer technology or cooperate with people to engage in enterprises! Prepare things first and wait for the opportunity. Otherwise, you will not be able to grasp the opportunity!

9. Learn to be good at selling yourself! Not only do you have to be competent, but you have to be able to say, write, and use all the opportunities to sell yourself,
It is necessary to establish your own brand image! Create conditions for others to understand themselves, or how can the boss know you can do it?
How do investors trust you? Sell yourself out early. The opportunity will naturally come to you!
A personal homepage is worth your attention !! In particular, they have developed their own fame in the industry,
Higher-paying opportunities, more importantly, opportunities for cooperation...

10. You can take the shot right away! There will never be 100% !!! The conditions are almost the same,
Do not hesitate to break into your own business, do not hesitate, do not necessarily succeed, but at least have accumulated experience for the next shock,
If you do not do it, you will never be able to quit, and you will inevitably experience failure. How can I see the rainbow without going through the storm,
No one can succeed at will!
