Be more loyal to your company than the company is to you. I’ve managed too manyteams that have entry level employees and I see this too often. You like yourfirst company, they gave you your first real shot! You should be loyal, right?

Wrong.People stay in an entry level position for too long believing their employerwill “takecare of them” if they just work hard enough, stickaround long enough…

你对公司的忠诚度要高于公司对你的忠诚度。我管理过许多有初级员工的团队,见过太多这样的情况。你喜欢自己的第一家公司,它也给了你第一次真正的机会!你应该对它忠诚,不是吗?

这是错误的观点。有些人停留在入门级岗位太长时间,因为他们认为,只要他们努力工作,坚持的时间足够长,他们的雇主就会“照顾他们”……

Overtime, this grinds a person down. I love that people believe that if you justwork hard and do well your talents will be recognized and you’ll be promoted, but thetruth is this isn’t always the way things work.Companies both large and small have to have a position to promote you to, abudget to pay you more, etc etc…

Onceyou’ve beenat your first job for a bit, begin engaging your manager about what youroptions are for developing your career. If you start to get the sense that noone ever gets promoted, or that options for advancement are limited, thenchange gears: Learn what you can where you are and take that experiencesomewhere else.

随着时间的推移,这种想法会压垮一个人。我也希望人们都相信,只要努力做好工作,你的才能就会得到认可,你就会平步青云,但真实情况是,付出的努力不见得一定能得到回报。不论大公司还是小公司,必须有职位空缺才能给员工升职,或者有预算才能给员工加薪。

从事第一份工作一段时间之后,要开始向上司请教自己的职业发展有哪些选择。如果你感觉没有人会得到升职,或者提升的选择有限,不妨改变方法:在这里尽可能学习新知识,然后带着自己的经验另谋高就。

Ignorethe bad habits of your older colleagues - Your colleague who has been workingfor at least 10 years might be late to meetings often, but that does not implythat it is acceptable to be late. When an older colleague is late, your managermight cut her more slack because she has proven herself to be helpful andemployable whereas if you are late, you simply look irresponsible andunemployable.

Seekguidance and help proactively - In school, your professors and teachingassistants often provide hints and guidance on homework and lab assignmentswithout you prompting them. At work, everyone is busy with his or her owntasks, so do not be surprised if no one offers help. It is not necessarily thatthey are unfriendly and selfish so much as they are just plain busy. The onesthat offer unsolicited help are generally friendly people, so those are theones with whom you want to be on extra good terms.

避免老员工的坏习惯——在公司工作了至少十年的同事,可能经常开会迟到,但这并不意味着迟到是可以接受的。如果有老员工迟到,你的上司可能会放她一马,因为她证明自己对公司有帮助,符合雇主的要求。但如果你迟到,只会让你看起来不负责任,并被列入不宜雇佣的员工之列。

与所有人搞好关系——在校园里,如果你不喜欢某个人,可以对他不理不睬。但在工作中,如果你不喜欢一位同事,不能简单地对他视而不见,因为你们要在一起工作。相反,要做到友好真诚。如果对方是专业人士,即便他个人不喜欢你,也会在职业上尊重你。

Be theexpert of your assigned task - Even if you are assigned a menial task likefixing minor bugs, swallow your pride, fix those bugs, and understand how youfixed them. If you are assigned a major task, the same underlying principlesapply. In software engineering, you are the expert of the part of the codebaseyou modified and extended, so if your colleagues have questions, they expectyou to have the answers. Being the expert achieves two goals. First, yourcolleagues will think of you as a responsible person, and second, your managerwill eventually notice and assign you more meaningful tasks or place you onmore challenging and more impactful projects.

Be ongood terms with everyone - In school, if you disliked someone, you could ignorehim. At work, if you dislike a colleague, you cannot simply ignore him becauseyou will be working together. Instead, be friendly and cordial. If that personis at all a professional, even if he dislikes you personally, he will respectyou professionally.

Valuequality over quantity - If you can, try to work as quickly as possible, but donot sacrifice the quality of your work for the sake of more output. Yourmanager and colleagues will remember negatively the time you broke the softwarebuild with a code check-in, even if it was delivered a week ahead of time.However, they will remember fondly the success and quality of your polished andcompleted project, even if it took an extra week to wrap up.

对分配给自己的任务,要做到精益求精——即便你被安排了一项没有意义的工作,比如修补较小的漏洞,也要放下自己的骄傲,完成任务,并弄清楚如何修补。如果你被安排负责一项重大任务,也要遵循同样的原则。在软件工程领域,对于由你修改和扩展的那部分代码库,你是专家,因此,如果你的同事遇到问题,他们会希望由你来提供答案。成为专家可以实现两个目的。首先,同事会认为你是一个负责任的人,其次,你的上司最终会注意到你,并给你安排更有意义的工作,或者让你参与更具挑战性、更有影响力的项目。

与所有人搞好关系——在校园里,如果你不喜欢某个人,可以对他不理不睬。但在工作中,如果你不喜欢一位同事,不能简单地对他视而不见,因为你们要在一起工作。相反,要做到友好真诚。如果对方是专业人士,即便他个人不喜欢你,也会在职业上尊重你。

重质量,轻数量——如果可以的话,尽可能快地完成工作,但不能为了更多产出而牺牲工作的质量。如果你用代码校验破坏了软件构造,即便提前一周交付,也会给上司和同事留下负面印象。相反,如果由你改进和完成的项目取得成功,并且保证了质量,即便多花了一周时间,也会给其他人留下积极印象。
