Joe Attardi: 我对创业和管理职位不感兴趣，因为我更喜欢专注于技术工作。我尝试过追求创业，但发现自己缺乏必要的技能和兴趣。因此，我决定专注于提高我的技术技能，并保持作为一名技术专家的就业能力。我喜欢作为一名个人贡献者（IC），专注于解决工程问题，而不是管理他人。虽然有些人认为随着年龄的增长，进入管理层是必然的，但我并没有感受到来自外部的压力，我的公司一直支持我继续走技术路线。我意识到，成为一名成功的管理者需要特定的性格和技能，而我并不具备这些。因此，我选择专注于我擅长和喜欢的技术工作，并通过阅读管理书籍来提高向上管理的能力，以便更好地理解我的经理并为未来的职业发展做好准备。 Quincy Larson: 很多人在职业生涯中会感到压力，认为必须进入管理层或创业才能保持竞争力。然而，Joe的例子表明，专注于技术专长并成为一名优秀的个人贡献者也是一条可行的职业道路。重要的是要了解自己的兴趣和优势，并找到一个支持你职业发展的公司。同时，向上管理也是一项重要的技能，可以帮助你更好地理解你的经理并有效地沟通。
