Android development: professional development bottlenecks encountered how to do?

A little partner asked a question:

Android engineers encounter a problem, how do? Although clearly rising channel, but there will be individual powerlessness, you can operate? In the long term, new technology and constantly updating +, to a certain age, facing elimination, surrounded by what kind of work can be considered? Seemingly departure from the reorientation does not solve the problem in essence, will be in trouble again ......

I combine many articles on similar topics written articles in the past, came out with a line of logic, written in today's article, for everyone to share. Is divided following sections:

1. Workplace state matrix locate your roadmap
2. How to get technical route
3. Management roadmap how to go
4. The second curve to deal with three kinds of bottlenecks
5. The full text of Mind Mapping

First, the state matrix position your career direction

I am from technical and management perspectives, drew a career state matrix, as shown below:

I use the technical capabilities and the strength of strong and weak management capacity, the technical people have been classified:

1. Mass Line: workplace technical and management capacity is not large prominent, can do the job.
2. Technology Roadmap: Technical ability to highlight the sharp tackling can be executed, the company's technology backbone.
3. Administration route: outstanding management ability, can led the charge, the company management backbone.
4. Take-all technology management: technology and management are very powerful, virtuous and talented person, can not be met.

You can look at which area he might, but can also think about what they want to regional development.

In general, the work of three to five years, will be able to assess their own strengths, but also to carefully think about their own route up.

To be noted that the route is not dead, you can always adjust. For example, I went from 2009, from the technical to the management, in 2014, and from the back to the management of technology.

Feel your feelings, follow your heart, this is very important.

Second, the technical route how to go

Take the technical route, try to go to the expert route. Can not become experts in the field of large, but also to become an expert in the field of breakdown. Can not become experts in a wide range, but also to become an expert in a small range.

If skills are not prominent and you have been doing technical route, high probability bigger and powerless.

How to get technical route it?

I recommend that you refer to this study outline: "Standard Ali P7, Tencent T3,40W + annual salary of senior enterprise architect skill growth path of"

For the first-tier manufacturers can look at the technical requirements of employees, you can also take this to leak filled, enhance their competitiveness.

Furthermore Andy Hunt's "Programmer thinking practice" talked about a model in this book - Dreyfus model.

Andy Hunt Dreyfus model with the ability to bring people in on a skill level is divided into five stages, and each stage should be given something to do in the book "Programmer's thinking practice."

Enhance the technical capacity, there are two ways, one is external stimuli + re-set high frequency of high-intensity, one self-conscious exercise + recovery disk.

People there are two characteristics: self-driving and his drive .

If you are self-drive, even if the environment is not so exciting, you can also create opportunities, deliberate practice and improve ourselves. But the high-pressure environment is still a power.

If you are his drive type, and particularly want to maintain the technological capability to enhance the speed, it would have to try to choose high strength requirements of the company, with the external environment, you excel expert.

Third, management roadmap how to go

** technology management people walking route, come for some technical experience, otherwise more difficult to do the technical work of front-line management. ** Of course, some people leadership and management is particularly high, there is no technical background, you can also do a good job.

In general, the following four categories of people are more likely to come from the route management technology roadmap:

If you want to turn management, you can consider the next, which strategy is for you. Of course, it can also be a combination of several strategies.

Do technology, more of a self-management has become a management role, focus will gradually migrate to the management of others. From a technical role to a management role, management is the starting point of the route, but also awareness of the difficulties of transition.

As for how to manage the development of the route, Ram Charan's "leadership echelon" in the given medium-sized enterprises leadership echelon model, great reference value.

Specifically how to do, what the future prospects, and about your ability, and the company's environment-related.

The point here is that small companies difficult to talk about "professional management" , because small companies tend to be single-point breakthrough + flat structure, whether it is business or organization, no complicated to rely on management to enhance the level of performance so if you are interested in management, it is best to medium and large companies. Medium and large companies, on the one hand, the complexity of the business and personnel, require a higher level of management, you can get exercise (this is dependent on the environment and enhance the technical capacity of the same), on the other hand, multi-company management ladder, you have to rise Space.

Fourth, to deal with three kinds of bottlenecks second curve

In fact, whether you take the technical route, or take the management route, still hovering in the mass line, we will encounter bottlenecks.

why?

"Father's management philosophy," Charles Handy's "second curve: across the" S-curve "secondary growth" S-curve of this book may be brought in to explain this phenomenon.

S-curve characteristics is: is the beginning of input, including education, various attempts and experiments or pecuniary; In the next stage, when the above input-output curve downward; yield when than you put out a long time, with the growth of output, the curve will be upward, if everything is working properly, upward curve will continue, but to a certain moment, the curve will inevitably reach the peak and begin to decline, this decline can usually be delayed but irreversible.

S-shaped curve is widely used all our human, including life, organizations and enterprises, governments, empires and alliances, various democratic system and even democracy itself, are applicable to S-shaped curve.

Our personal career development, can not escape the fate of S-shaped curve.

You take the technical route, learning to use a certain technology is not the beginning of rapid advances in sophisticated, so do later feeding effort to command a breakthrough?

You take the management route, it is not just when self-management to manage others, with each passing day, self-worth improve very quickly, on a dry three to five years, is not it will find that they will "skin", nor do I feel a couple of months. " this time with a significant difference in the past, "and, of course, in the promotion of the company do not see hope?

That how broken this situation?

The answer given by Charles Handy is a second curve, as shown below.

In this figure, there are two curves prior an S-shaped curve, then the S-shaped curve before the peak, and grow a new S curve. This new S curve is the second curve.

Continue to create a second curve, it is an effective strategy to avoid career into stagnation.

That for us, what the second curve it?

There are three:

• Capability of the second curve
• The second cause of curve
• The second curve assets

One by one is.

(1) capability of the second curve

Let you look three-dimensional conical mercy career path model:

The model pointed out three directions of development of a person within the organization:

• Become the core of a department or class of positions
• Rank promotion
• Rotation, through transformation of functions, expand the comprehensive ability to win the width

No matter which direction, by a single skill can not be achieved!

You want to be the core of Android development team, will draw UI, no communication, no ability to plan, no architecture design capability, possible?

You want from line managers, director of transfiguration, only task management, not leadership, it will be successful?

You want to exercise their rotation, only to write APP, to get round it?

Not to mention a certain someone particularly severe, a needle top Happening, a meteoric rise. It is a case + opportunity, Case + opportunity + Case opportunity!

** Most people want to get a good development within an organization, we must focus on cultivating competitiveness. **because:

• Single skill, according to the S-shaped curve, will soon encounter a problem, it is difficult to throw off others, continue to remain competitive.
• Most of the work within the organization is through "interpersonal + technology + Project" convergence to complete.

Therefore, we should continue to develop both skills and can work better combine new capabilities. This can be considered from the perspective shown in the figure.

(2) cause a second curve

Ability is the basis for good personal development, but not a necessary and sufficient condition. Personal development within the organization, is also influenced by the maturity and development of the industry organization development cycle.

Figuratively, the organization is the ship, the water industry is, you are the people on board.

You move forward speeds, depending on the water, boat and your efforts together of the three.

In the marshes, how the boat will run faster. In such waters, regardless of boat size you are, you are unable to move.

In the calm rivers, in the boat, then you can endure another big effort to keep up with the speed of large advanced equipment on board people (even if they did not you have the ability not your efforts).

According to S-shaped curve, the total cycle industry, the company has always stall, you will always have time to run faster, and you may as interpersonal environment, accumulate, comfort zone, for family reasons, etc., are not necessarily willing to constantly change boats , changing the water, is not it, that this time, you can use your accumulated past to explore new career direction - sideline.

For instance, your technology is very powerful, it can be a lesson.

For example, your company background quite powerful ability is also good, be that running around doing the sharing.

For example, you have accumulated a wide range of interpersonal relationships, it is not possible to be a part-time recruiter, or middleman to help the person doing the project?

(3) a second curve assets

10 years, 20 years, such a long period of 30 years, the personal labor to make money, the annual compound growth rate, economic growth and national income is the same.

In other words, the country's economic development faster, you revenue growth is large, the country's economic stagnation, your revenue growth will stagnate.

Most people are like this.

Perhaps you will say, Buffett broke this, and that so and so broke this ......

You can certainly include eight ten dozens or even hundreds of examples, however, ask their high growth, like you and me is simple labor work to earn money by it?

No.

Those crossing period, net worth continue to add value, and most are not rely on labor to make money, but make money by assets.

Their assets, either business or money.

On assets for their own money, they rely on money to make money for themselves. Beyond this is the king of social economic growth.

So if you want to break society, industries, companies or individuals to bring their professional skills bottlenecks, but also start from the assets in this regard.

We ordinary people can be difficult to run a business well, but we can make money for themselves through the purchase of assets, so that you can form a second curve assets. The specific process, with reference to the FIG.

This figure is the angle of my personal financial situation painted, people in the workplace three financial stage, where are you?

V. Summary

I did not expect to write so long ...... offer mind mapping as a summary of it.

Easier said than done to know the end, the article, it is the beginning of the action, with action you would like to give yourself to create a blossoming.

Here I also share a big brother himself included finishing the Android architecture study PDF + Video + Interview + document source notes , as well as advanced technical architecture Advanced Brain Mapping, Android interview with thematic development, senior advanced information architecture these are my leisure boutique will be repeated read data. In the mind map, each point is equipped with a knowledge of the topic corresponding to the actual project, can effectively help you master the knowledge, the ability to meet the technical lead.

In short we are also here to help enhance learning advanced, but also saves you the time to learn online search data can also be shared with close friends studying together
