Location: MR106
Hashtag: #sigmod2015 #industry_career
Session Chair: Feifei Li (University of Utah)
Please click here to check out the Panelist.
Every year, the SIGMOD Conference also includes industry sessions and
industry sponsors from industry leaders on big data management,
database systems, and data management in general. Many students after
graduation will join these companies and start an exciting career in
industry. This year, the SIGMOD Conference organizes a career in
industry panel event to address various aspects of starting a career
in the data management industry. Each platinum or gold sponsor of the
conference will send a representative to participate this panel. This
year’s event consists of representatives from Facebook, Google, IBM, Oracle, SAP,
Tableau, and Twitter. This event is geared towards undergraduate
and graduate students and junior researchers, but we expect it to
attract a very broad audience because it will be both informative and
entertaining. Each panelist gives a short introduction, based on their
personal experiences and perspectives gained over the years. After the
introduction, an informal discussion ensues, where questions are
welcomed from the audience.
The panel will discuss various aspects of preparing, planning out, and
executing a successful industry career. This topic is of particular
interest to undergraduate and graduate students, but is relevant to
the entire data management community.
SIGMOD NEW RESEARCHER SYMPOSIUM
How to fail
Wednesday 13:20 - 14:50
Location: Plenary 1
Hashtag: #sigmod15 #nrs
Session Chairs: Alexandra Meliou (University of Massachusetts Amherst); Julia Stoyanovich (Drexel University)
Every year, the SIGMOD Conference includes an exciting symposium
addressing various aspects of starting a career in the data management
community. These symposia are geared towards graduate students and
junior researchers, but they attract a very broad audience because
they are both informative and entertaining. Each panelist gives a
10-minute presentation, based on their personal experiences and
perspectives gained over the years. After the presentations, an
informal discussion ensues, where questions are welcomed from the
audience.
This year's panel will address the topic: “How to fail.” The panel will discuss various aspects of overcoming and learning from failure. This topic is of particular interest to graduate students and junior researchers, but is relevant to the entire data management community. The issues discussed in the presentation may include, but are not limited to:
— Bad research ideas: How to recognize them, avoid them, and abandon them. Can you transform a bad research direction into a good one?
— Whom should you ask for advice and should you always follow it?
— How should you balance your time across different responsibilities? Which responsibilities should you say "no" to? Is it OK to drop tasks that you committed to?
— What is the proper level of multitasking? How many research directions should you pursue at a time?
— When should you give up on a student, an advisor, or a topic?
