Media reports that genius young man Zhang Ji, born in 1993, got Huawei's 2.01 million yuan annual salary offer right after graduation has recently gained wide attention in China. In this regard, he said that such a high annual salary also puts a lot of pressure on him, and he hopes to make the most of his value and do something meaningful.
Zhang Ji has been working at Huawei for more than two months now, and in an interview with Chinese media yesterday, he talked about how his annual salary has sparked a lot of discussion on the internet.
He said that the widespread attention from people nowadays also adds a lot of pressure. "People will expect me to produce something in a few years, which is a double pressure."
Huawei just made a 2.01 million yuan annual salary offer to a fresh graduate
Zhang Ji said there are also offers from companies that pay him up to 3 million yuan a year or more, but he feels his research interests are a better match for Huawei.
He says he wanted to join Huawei and work with a group of like-minded people to do what he wanted to do.
Zhang Ji says he will consider salary when making his choice, but won't put too much emphasis on it, as he gave up a higher salary to choose Huawei after all. "I'm more interested in the company's ability to provide me with a research platform and space to look at these things in the longer term."
Talking about Huawei's recent sanctions abroad, Zhang Ji said he hopes to put what he has learned to use in Huawei's most difficult times and try his best to help the company overcome some of its difficulties.
