t do you do outside work?
“You should spend 80% of your time working and 20% of
your time networking and exploring things outside the
office. This is a simple 80/20 rule.” That’s what my manager
told me at the beginning of the internship.
One special thing about working here is the network and Golden Gate Bridge: The icon of San Francisco
the people you met. I am glad that I am able to join the
CUHK Alumni Association here in the Silicon Valley. I never
expect that we have such a large group of CUHK alumni
here in the bay area who are working in big companies like
Apple, Google or even Oculus (a Virtual Reality technology
company which was acquired by Facebook). They are
willing to share their experience with you and advise you
on your career and life. Another cool thing is that they
can bring you to their offices for a tour and tell you more
about their companies. The most impressive office I have
ever been to is the Airbnb’s headquarters in San Francisco
where you can surprisingly find a ball pit in the office.
To conclude…
One of the best things about an overseas internship is that you are forced to step out of your comfort
zone and explore the uncertainties in a completely new environment. What I learned and experienced
are all valuable and memorable. I am really thankful to have this precious opportunity to be part of the
internship program. I would like to express my deepest gratitude here towards Cisco for launching
this program, Cisco DevNet team for the guidance given throughout the year and also CUHK CPDC
and Business School for coordinating all the logistics involved. I am sure that these priceless memories
and friendships will always stay in my heart.
