Key Insights to Career Management This talk is designed to discuss managing your career. There are 12 important things to keep in mind when living and managing your career to achieve your goals. These will be explained and explored with examples and photographs based on my 50 years as an engineer, manager and executive managing people's careers, and 53 years as an IEEE member (IEEE Life Fellow). Your career is your career and understanding your priorities (which can change) and your company's objectives can help you have a rewarding and fulfilling career.

The KIEEE student branch welcomes you to our "Third Thursday" event series. Each month, we hold an event focused on delivering value to our student members. In September, we enjoyed a night at the Grizzly Grill. This month, we are excited to invite David Lingenbrink for a discussion about his career and life at Google. If you are interested in learning more about industry career paths, this talk is for you. NOTE: The October "Third Thursday" event is taking place on the FOURTH Thursday (Oct 24th) due to reading week. David is currently a software engineer at Google. He has completed a PhD in the school of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) at Cornell University. We speak about his decision to do a PhD, his subsequent move to Google, and the differences between the two. The focus of the talk is to provide students, particularly undergraduates, with a better idea of their options upon graduation. You can find more information about David on his (https://davidlingenbrink.com).

IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member, and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch – compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. For more information visit: https://ieeextreme.org/ The Montréal leg of this global competition will be hosted at École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS). Here, the participants will have access to a closed space for the 24 hour duration of the competition. They will also be supported with WiFi, and a comfortable seating arrangement. However, they must bring their own laptop.
