How many years does it usually take for undergraduates in your institution to be promoted to deputy director?

It mainly depends on personal effort! I have worked in both state-owned and private enterprises; the shortest tenure I had was one year (thanks to my own efforts), while the longest period during which I worked without becoming a manager lasted until retirement! Studying hard and working hard are one thing, but the right methods are also important!

Best 5.5 years of performance (Taiwanese-funded)

Generally, five years is considered quite fast (for state-owned enterprises)

It’s hard to say about state-owned enterprises; if you have connections, you can take over a position in one year, and become an associate director within 5 years. If you can’t give gifts, it doesn’t matter; if you can’t deceive people either, then no matter how capable you are, you won’t be promoted in 10 years.

Well done; you also know how to please your supervisors. As for specific leadership skills, at least 3 years of experience is required.

Approximately 5-10 years – this is a more accurate figure. There are cases where it takes less time, but that’s due to favorable opportunities or some sort of trickery. :lol

Work the shift schedule for 2-3 years first, then work as a technician for another 3 years, and there’s a chance of being promoted to deputy director.

1 year? Are you kidding? It’s terrifying. Here, it’s 1 year as an operator, 1 year as a process engineer, and 1 year as an assistant director. This is the fastest.

Whether one can become deputy director depends, of course, on various factors. 1. Personal abilities include not only technical skills but, more importantly, communication skills and the ability to build relationships with others. 2. Insight into people and matters. 3. An individual’s influence. 4. Having a good family and social background, which of course includes parents, in-laws, spouse or future spouse, as well as relatives and friends. 5. Of course, personal opportunities are also needed. If the above conditions are met, it should not be a problem to become an associate director in half a year or a year, and it might also be possible to become an assistant manager of a company. Without the aforementioned abilities, no matter how skilled one is, working hard all one’s life will at most result in a position as a senior engineer; if one has poor personality traits, even achieving that status may be uncertain. It’s all too common to end one’s life with just the title of senior engineer (upon retirement, one is referred to as “Engineer Liu,” “Engineer Li,” “Engineer Wang,” or “Engineer Huang” throughout their life, rather than “Director Liu” or “Manager Liu”), not to mention that the total number of university graduates in the past was much smaller than it is today. These factors may not cover all the elements of success; they are provided for reference only. Measure yourself and you’ll know where you stand.

The prestige associated with college graduates no longer exists; they may even end up doing jobs such as polishing shoes. In any case, it’s clear that finding employment is difficult, and there seems to be only one reason for this: college graduates are no longer welcomed, respected, or given priority. 　　It is an undisputed rule that, under equal conditions, the higher one’s educational attainment, the more popular they will be. But why doesn’t a high level of education work these days? It’s simply an issue of internal quality. 　　Both gold and copper are yellow, and the difference between them seems small, but there is a significant difference in their essence. 　　While most of that so-called \"gold\" has long since turned into brass, some people are still deceived by its appearance and believe they are seeing mutated gold. Others have already noticed that the properties of this \"gold\" are severely compromised, which is why its luster is fading more and more. 　　As a result, society no longer views college graduates as a guarantee of quality; instead, it sees them as no different from ordinary workers. Thus, the metals that thought they were still valuable found that their performance was not highly regarded, and there were few uses left for them. 　　From ancient times to the present, education has seemed sacred, as it represents something entirely opposite to the laws of social exchange and exclusion; thus, people believed that this was the highest form of wisdom truly needed by humanity. Yet it was not anticipated that education would produce a large number of poor-quality outcomes, and as a result, employment—this most important means of testing truth—became unreliable. 　　College students, stop complaining about the difficulty in finding jobs; it’s all caused by fake and low-quality products.

The nature of the units is different, so they are not very comparable

State-owned enterprises are just that – neither alive nor dead, operating on a system of equal distribution

Does one holding the position of deputy director necessarily need to have a bachelor’s degree? I used to be an ordinary farmer here, and I started working in the factory at the lowest level as well; now I have held the position of deputy director for quite some time. Is education level important?

It seems he’s no ordinary farmer: lol

I’m talking in general terms, excluding those who act too quickly or too slowly. I hope there will be no arguments; farmers needn’t even aspire to become deputy directors – after all, there are people from that group who make it to the central level, but that’s just a minority

We have one here who has been the head director for less than a year.

My colleague has been a senior engineer for 18 years; he’s still a equipment technician at a state-owned enterprise. It’s hard to say… I’ve been working shifts for over 2 years now

For private companies, it will take at least nearly 5 years; or else it’s someone who came over from another company. I think three years in a well-structured company is the fastest possible time
