Just after the start of winter, the oncoming is a cold. As the weather is, so is the market. Yesterday Friday, and an acquaintance of technical experts old Liu about dinner, is also the line below the base, enhance feelings. Every year I turn to friends higher up the ladder for advice. I couldn’t help but talk about his career. Brother Fish always thought he was unlucky, and after hearing his story, I bowed down. In the technical career road, it is not necessarily a good thing to go too smoothly, we talked about code farmers to advance, code farmers to extend their career and other related issues. In the code farming industry, the bottleneck of most programmers in the annual salary of 60W-70W, this is the ceiling, this is a lot of people have to face the problem, and once the ceiling is broken, the back can smoothly progress into more powerful technical experts. I hope to inspire you to advance and break through the bottleneck

Background: a TMD senior technical expert

Education: Bachelor (two books)

Years of work: 10 years

Old Liu, known as the teacher, the teacher is 09 years of computer major graduation, then 23 years old, the teacher said he is playing in the university, hold up younger sister, girlfriend talk is a lot, each college long good-looking sister, he dare to hold up, also not afraid of being rejected, dead pester rotten dozen, thick skin thief. The master himself was not tall, and his character was that of a ruffian. After graduation, instead of working as a developer, he took a job selling software, similar to what is now called a business job. He said it was probably during a campus recruitment interview that a female executive was attracted by his eloquence. His class of classmates, girls do test related work more, the boys basically do development, he said, two school, not so many people think about taking an examination of one’s deceased father grind, the next class has 3 take an examination of one’s deceased father grind, their class all have no.

In software sales, the master said he liked it very much. At that time, the software sales were not usually enterprise ERP systems, but mostly state-owned enterprises or public institutions. Because he can say that every time the supervisor takes him to visit, he will not talk in silence, but the customer will ask a lot of concerns about the ERP system. These things need to be prepared in advance, every time you encounter no, you need to confirm, and then record, so he said that from then on, he developed the habit of recording summary. But after all, sales, no drinking, no dinner, no relationship. Go to the company to chat, they don’t care you. No matter how much you brag, he still works with a good friend. ** China is a human society, and cooperation sometimes means good relations. As long as everything is similar, good cooperation is preferred. ** interest care must be acquaintances. The master said as he picked up his glass and said, take one. He said he wasn’t a very good drinker, but he never got stage fright at a wine party. He was always the one with the most rhythm and atmosphere in the crowd. If alcohol doesn’t burn, it’s not social. But halfway through, he had to go to the bathroom to throw up and take some hangover pills to get back to his normal state. Once, when I went to the bathroom to vomit, I fell to the ground and was sent to the hospital. The doctor advised him not to drink so much in the future, the liver damage is a bit serious.

He also thought, this life can not always toss about his body, he decided that his brain is not stupid, do development should also be no problem, but the university learned that thing, long forgotten, this makes him confused. His best friend, who had been playing well in class, suggested that he attend training. There was a certain horse camp, special fire, to them the training, must have a want to close, through their screening examination, or make money will not give you places, leader, says he stroke, review the basic knowledge, have more than two months, before and after a horse in the training camp free based video learning, one on one, at the time, miss so far, It’s a very big decision, but it also comes with faith and persistence. After passing the exam, he went to the Beijing base to study. After a few months of frustration and pain, the master said that he went to a medium-sized company because he was better at it. Because of the lack of actual work experience, to go to a medium-sized company, just to gain experience. Teachers are not content to stay in medium-sized companies, or go to a small company, not to say the head of a large company, at least mixed with a well-known company. The Pope never wavered from this belief.

After working for 1.5 years, he decided to change his job. He wanted to work in a well-known company this time, so he made a lot of preparation and did not rush to change his job. You spend more time sharpening your knife. This time I did jump to a well-known company, but I worked for less than 3 months and could not bear the leadership. He resigned naked. He said the leader gave a lot of tasks every day and went home in the wee hours. Some tasks will be finished today, and the product will be changed tomorrow, but the leader will let him change it without protesting. In this kind of company that is not product-led technology, it is doomed to treat technology as livestock. There is no end. There is no time to upgrade technology for business logic. Can’t stay long. One day in the third month, he was scolded by the leader like a dog. He couldn’t stand it and resigned. He said it was a bit funny that the leader had been laid off and reportedly couldn’t find a job. Some time ago, he asked the leader if he could be promoted internally. The Pope said that the political work itself is a cooperative relationship, are in a circle, try not to make enemies. Otherwise the road will get narrower and narrower. ** Lord from that company, after naked resignation, after experiencing pain to prepare again, went to Baidu to do soldiers, Baidu was at the peak of its power at that time. He said it was actually partly due to luck that his position was vacant at the time. This needs to be done as soon as possible. You just quit naked. You can go right there. The leader made a little too little of him. He knows. But fortunately, it was a turning point for the master. After all entered Baidu, the platform is not the same, behind job-hopping or has a very good advantage.

Baidu’s work, not easy, Baidu’s technical atmosphere at that time was very thick, at that time TMD is not now in its heyday, he went to Baidu post bar. It was a very important product at that time. The master said that some projects could not be met. Even if you went to the same company, some of you were in the strategic product line and some were in the edge product line, a few years later, no matter in technology or vision, the personal bonus would be different. The returns are even more different. The Lord said in the post bar, he made a lot of mistakes, at that time Baidu’s technical requirements are very rigorous, their own half-baked, often dig holes, often met colleagues to help him fill holes. However, as I said before, the master was a person who loved to summarize and record, so he recorded all these mistakes one by one. He said that in those years, technology grew fastest. He kept making mistakes, correcting mistakes, learning from mistakes, sharing mistakes and repeating the process.

He really knew that in order to be strong, he had to be tortured. If everything is not thoroughly studied, it will stay on the surface forever, and mistakes will still be made later, and the root cause will be unknown. The teacher said that Mr. Wu jun defined engineer as five levels in his book Insight, and there would be a 10-fold gap between the adjacent levels, and the fifth level of engineer is actually a coder.

In baidu, more profound, leader should learn to Get to the focus of the leadership, he share this, for an example, is about a buy orange story, this story we can see online, mean, in the workplace, most of us are the work on time to work, “due diligence”. At the same time, there are such complaints: “I have done so much, why not ME promoted”, “I work so hard, the leader always say I am not good”,…… . Just doing things instead of finishing them, doing the “good” thing, striving for perfection. Just the “abacus beads” in the hands of leaders, not to move. Need leadership to urge and spur just go one step forward. The other person actually understands what the leader is trying to do, takes the initiative to get things done more actively and effectively.

Hierarch say finally, want to become a top talent or expert, except in the field of professional technology to pass, but also build a set of mature methodology, he said a lot of people did a lot of good projects or results, is not in the methodology, feeling giving a person is that there is no window, can’t see the bright spot, then covered bottom go to, this kind of methodology, I asked him if he was bluffing, he said, of course not bluffing, bluffing is false. You know it when you hear it. You know, the judges or the interviewers, they’re all experts, they’re more experienced than you are. If I can make one thing clear, I need to keep saying more. It doesn’t matter if I make mistakes, but I need to use the framework methodology. Your accomplishments, your highlights.

And the last piece of advice he gave was:

1, exercise, physical work, in addition to spell technology, but also to spell the body.

It is more important to focus on trends than to be closed.

3. Make friends with people of higher rank in the industry to exchange experience and learn. People of higher rank can point you and avoid unnecessary pits.

4. Able to write PPT, summarize and record, and take notes. This habit kills most people instantly.

5, improve their requirements, always higher than the post requirements of a section, in order to continue to advance to the next section.

6. Jump three levels. It’s a little hard at first, but gradually you’ll be able to distinguish yourself from others.
