Reflection Project

The good job for a cheerful girl

The first job by PayScale fitting me is the principal architect. When I first saw this job, I thought it was in the field of architecture. But I found it does not only mean architecture but also it means the experts for information technology projects. This job includes helping the company to find the resolution to finish the project and contact the different departments with technology to complete the project.

Usually, the principal architect also needs to work with a team to finish the project. I think the principal architect is very fit for me. My original career planning direction is data architecture. The solving problem makes me earn a lot of satisfaction. With the development of society and technology, the web is  like our second world. When we live in the second world, data plays an unimaginable role. Accurate use of data can be used to solve a large number of problems. The principal architect has what I want to be indispensable in the future. At the same time, this profession also needs continuous learning because technology is constantly updated. It means that this profession will always keep pace with the times and will not be replaced. This occupation needs a huge amount of knowledge to erect a natural information barrier to others, which keeps my uniqueness and makes me get a high salary for a long time.

Last but not least, the principal architect needs to discuss different departments with technical support. I’m good at dealing with different people. I’m very willing to share with others. Solutions I have come up with and enjoy the process of discussing with others. 

The second job is a staff engineer. The scope of this profession is very wide. I prefer to be an    information engineer, it also one of my career directions. Information engineer usually needs to create new things and turn theory into reality.

I’ve always been a pragmatist. I believe that it is more important to make something in practice than to talk about it in theory. My dream job is to bring value to the world. Being a staff information engineer clearly can fit this requirement. Creating something that has never been before can realize my life value. Staff engineers usually work in a team. For me, it’s a pleasure to work and study with like-minded people. I believe that working with other engineers will make me  better and get support. The high salary and good career development path for staff information engineer is also an indispensable reason why I like it.

But to be honest, I don’t like the fuzzy boundary between work and life about being a staff engineer. This profession requires me to keep in touch with the company all the time, which will be the reason why I think about this career carefully.
