写在一个月 - 适应过程

 第三个星期,我基本可以分辨leader 无障碍,第一基本大部分搞懂,第二星期,Harish vs Rahul, Divya vs Milan, Nisarg vs Sumit, 没搞懂,这些cluster无法分辨。

现在对公司各个角落位置大概也清楚了。也对CoE, 自己的team的分工,和合作,有了更多的认识。

大概第三个星期到一个月,心里已经和IBM有个分割了,看到Slack 和 Outlook 和想到公司的情况,都是现公司的。IBM毕竟一个呆了五年的公司。

正确的心态 - 利他 > 利己

应该是以一个利他的心态去完成。

这样合乎修行,合乎工作,合乎因果。


利己,没问题,但是不要建立在压力上,要建立在热情上。

建立impact 是利他的一部分


不要通过压制别人,或藏匿信息。

不要担心工作岗位。


脚踏实地,这里的点就是利他

1. 从你的工作开始

2. 再从你的分享开始


利他,也有助于避免被同伴敌视。


有人会说,信息分享,会不会是一种劣势?

我觉得分享信息,最后最大获益者,是自己,这是我的经验。

就是你会记得这份信息,最后变成自己的参考。

别人的话,其实不会太在意这份信息分享。

就算在意了,用了,因为你的引导,他也会把这份信息分享,大部分是个良性循环。

如果不愿意分享,那这种狭窄的心态,过得也挺憋屈的,憋屈的人气质都不太好,不太有利于自我发展。


另外,比如某人积极分享信息,会不会成为一种优势?

至少形象,不是小气巴拉。

因为别人也想利己,所以形象自然提升。

但有没有变成决定性优势 - 这不一定。

有没有可能变成一种快乐,大概率。

变成一种良性因果,绝对的。

时间到了会变成一种优势,绝对的。

利他也需基于真诚和自愿的原则,不应该是压力或义务的产物。真正的利他行为源自内心的热情和愿望,而不是外界的强迫。

Advice to my sister

 so for now you need to prepare

1. good resume (make sure your resume is good...bad resume will just get filtered off before you get interview) 

- you can send to me, I can help you change it

2. self introduction (HR screening. or first interview)

- you can introduce yourself to me, i can help you hear it

3. Technical (like accounting)

- go glassdoor and see what is typically ask for the role you apply, prepare for common

4. Behavioral

- typically this is like 3rd, 4th interview...use star method to answer it..


I recommend you go by sequence 1, 2, 3, 4


After you get a new job

you can start to learn from job first, and see whether you have opportunity for value increfment (salary, role), not all company and team has such oppty

if yes then you can start to work on the following:


1. Make sure you understand the job well, and delivered concrete result

2. Make sure the result is well communicated (this is where the business English will be used)

The purpose of 1,2 is to get you a good rating..and potential opportunity for promotion


When you move further you will realize that

1. you spend exactly the same or maybe lesser effort (esp. to lower tier job), but you get much better income

2. at the beginning, hard technical work is differentiator, but when you grow further, communication will become more and more important, it will become a differentiator

3. there is always a ceiling for growth...when you go to certain stage..you will reach a plateau


But for now...the ceiling is still far away...

Good thing in office

 IBM not in office

a. don't have visibility

b. don't have interaction with any senior management

c. not that easy if needs to get like interaction things done

d. don't know the trend in office

 

In office the good thing is:

Network/Visibility

Get things solved fast and do it impromptu

Easy to observe the trend

More effective at the time before and after (force no sleep)
