A friend of mine recently asked me what five things he should do in order togrow his technical career in a big company. He is not interested in being a bigmanager, or a CEO. Rather, he wants to be a software expert, an architect, anowner of a technology, and eventually a ���Fellow.��� I���m not sure I was qualifiedto give such advice, but I did anyway. This is what I told him. Maybe this willalso work for you.
