Huawei’s most high-end "genius boy" is only 4 in the world, and 3 are alumni of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
just get an annual salary of 2.01 million yuan when they leave school
Zhang Ji attended an international conference in Kyoto, Japan.
On August 3, a reporter from the Yangtze River Daily learned from Huazhong University of Science and Technology that the doctoral students Zhang Ji and Yao Ting who graduated from the computer major of the school this year were selected as Huawei’s "Genius Boys". Last year, Zuo Pengfei, a Ph. juvenile".
Huawei's "Genius Youth" project is a project initiated by Ren Zhengfei to attract top talents with top challenges and top salaries.
The wages of the "genius teenagers" recruited by Huawei are paid according to the annual salary system. There are three levels, with the highest annual salary of 2.01 million yuan.
At present, only 4 people in the world have received the highest annual salary of Huawei's "genius boy" at 2.01 million yuan. They are Zhong Zhao (graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a bachelor’s degree in software engineering, Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences University of Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems), Qin Tong (graduated from Zhejiang University with a bachelor’s degree in Control Science and Engineering, and a Ph.D. from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in robotics) , Zuo Pengfei (Bachelor and Ph.D. graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology), Zhang Ji (Ph.D. graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology).
After seven rounds of rigorous screening, stand out
Huawei’s recruitment standards for “genius teenagers” are very strict and generally require seven rounds of processes: resume screening, written examination, initial interview, supervisor interview, several ministerial interviews, president interviews, and HR interviews. In each link, there will be strict assessment and screening, so there will be many challenges and obstacles. Any problem or poor performance in any link may fail, which is very difficult.
Zhang Ji, from Tongshan, Hubei, came into contact with Huawei at an international conference. At 8 o'clock in the evening on August 3, Zhang Ji told reporters that he joined Huawei at the end of May this year. Huawei's recruitment mainly depends on the research direction and scientific research capabilities, and the research direction is Huawei's most favored.
Having a job that many people dream of, Zhang Ji is very calm. "I am not a genius boy. To get rid of the aura of a genius boy, I am just an ordinary person." He said that he now has more responsibilities and pressure on his shoulders. To quickly integrate into the team, not only do the tasks assigned by the leader do well, We must also think about how to do our work well in the future and live up to expectations.
During his undergraduate studies, Zhang Ji, born in 1993, has consistently ranked among the best in his colleges and departments. He successfully passed the English Test Band 4 and Band 6, and the National Computer Level 2 Test. He obtained the National ITAT Vocational Skills Contest Vocational Skills Qualification Certificate and became a teacher and classmate. In the eyes of a veritable "Super Xueba".
"This is actually an exaggeration." Zhang Ji said that when he was young, his parents had a great influence on him. At that time, my mother was a kindergarten teacher, my father was a middle school teacher, and he was an only child. "My parents respected my choice very much and helped me grow up to be independent."
"No matter what, whether to do or not to do, my parents will not make a decision for me." Zhang Ji said, this practice of letting oneself think independently has been affecting until now.
"Genius teenagers" like to make plans and follow steps
Graduate school and Ph.D. were Zhang Ji's goal when he first entered the campus. He has no procrastination in his studies, and likes to plan and follow the steps, because this often makes him do more with less.
"Those who have aspirations, things will come true", Zhang Ji studied hard and prepared meticulously, and finally became a PhD student in computer system architecture in 2016, and continued his studies in Wuhan Optoelectronics National Laboratory of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Regarding scientific research, Zhang Ji believes that it is first to research, then share with friends, then dare to think, and finally start to act, "You must dare to think, not even think about it, that will not trigger inspiration."
Zhang Ji's hard work also made his work a matter of course.
Due to the large number of scientific research projects, Zhang Ji basically did not deliberately look for a job, and he did not even take the initiative to submit his resume. It was enterprises or universities that contacted him.
Currently, Zhang Ji, who works at Huawei's Shanghai Research Institute, said that Zuo Pengfei, the last senior student, was selected as Huawei's "genius boy" last year and is his role model. The two added WeChat to each other and communicated often because they were busy with each other. Even at school, their tutors were different and their research directions were different. They never met each other. On August 2 this year, the two met for the first time in an event in Shenzhen.
Yao Ting, Zhang Ji’s PhD student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, was also selected as Huawei’s "Genius Boy" this time and has signed a contract. Yao Ting may have to wait until August to report to Huawei.
What do you want to say to the students? Zhang Ji said that he has nothing to excel. Based on his own experience, he must first make a plan for his choice, and then must persist, be confident, and don't give up easily. In addition, after getting results, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, settle down, keep an eye on the next goal, improve at each stage, and continue to learn to keep yourself improving.
