唉. 難得的機會.卻來得不是時候....

一直認為自己有些懷才不遇

一年半前面臨職涯轉型,在創業失敗後遭到失業的困
境,在那個時候,是我現在的主管「收留」了我,並
給了我一份雖然不高但是還算合理的薪水,也給了我
一直想要做的工作,並從中學習、成長。公司雖然不
是甚麼超大型財團,卻也是堂堂知名跨國公司,所以
我一直心存感激地努力工作。最近,很湊巧地部門�
的老人都走光了,只剩下主管和我,雖說有陸續募集
新人,但可想而知地,我未來的負擔會很重很重,而
且有很多工作將是我所不想做的。主管也坦白說,以
公司現在的狀況,就算我的工作量會加重,薪水也不
太可能有甚麼明顯的成長。

原本,我已經認命了,想想,反正公司待自己並不算
差,雖然現在已無法再從工作中穫得甚麼,就當是回
報公司好了,再做個一兩年,等部門穩定下來,再出
國拼個學位另謀高就吧!

但是,每每就在這種時候,命運的女神就會和人類開
玩笑,今天朋友打電話來,他代表他的公司─一個比
我現在公司大N倍的世界第一級企業─向我展開挖角
薪水是現在的兩倍,轉調大陸或新加坡,房屋津貼、
股票選擇權另計,是的,這就是我認為總會到來的機
會,只是,我沒料到它來得那麼快,那麼「是時候」。

在電話中,我猶豫了,我甚至差點一口回絕,因為
我想到主管天天加班到深夜,卻要我們早點回家的
樣子。朋友非常的訝異,因為我不只一次地向他
抱怨過我覺得我是多麼的懷材不遇,最後,他要我
好好想想,因為機會不會敲兩次門。

夜過三更,一瓶純米吟釀也喝了一大半。
卻不知天明之時我會得到甚麼答案...
  • 藍天--
    你失敗.跌倒過,但你又起來了..可見的你是有能力的人.也是聰明的人.
    你很念舊,感恩,是你的優點,但是這樣的幫助你現在的公司,對你來說--可是用你的人生際遇去賭.
    若是你做的好,你和你現在的公司不過是維持現狀,而且是應該做好的,但是過不了多久,你又會面臨職涯轉型或拼個學位另謀高就..那你又回到原點了..
    所以,你是站在公司的立場或是面臨自己人生的轉戾點,全看你的想法..但現在台灣景氣不佳,你現在公司的前輩離職,原因為何?你要好好探索一下..
    也請你將未來30歲.40歲.50歲......以後的光景打算打算,再決定吧!!
    我覺得你要好好把握此次機會,人生的機會--稍縱即逝.
    如果你選擇---
    留在原公司~~那你最少要做到5年不後悔.因為5年內也許不會有其他超優的機會.
    到新公司發展~~那就是另一個新開始,要忘記背後,努力面前的.向著標竿即竭力追求......

    總之,祝福你--找到真正的方向.
    記住,你的選擇將會改變你的人生---
    要想的深.遠.寬...

    **對不起,我好像太嚴肅囉!!因為這選擇實在是太...
    重要啦^.^
  • Hi 藍天:

    Forgot to tell you one thing.

    If i were you i will take this opportunity, this is kind of opportunity that will lead you into a whole new world. Why do i say that, from my surroundings, youngest expatriate i have met is 35 years old, and i have just read your past messages, that you are about 27years old, if you dont take this chance you may have to wait for another 10 years, or may be this kind of opportunity will never come up again.

    If you think this is the right job for you, i dont understand why you have to wait till end of the year, your boss can train and recruit new employees, if you train them, it will take a while. I dont know what is the regulation in Taiwan, but where i am now, by law you have to give at least one month notice to your employer before you quit.

    To be honest, it will be wise for you to take this new job ASAP,i would suggest no longer than 2 months, unless the person at your new position is going to leave the job later, i.e by end of the year.

    think hard

    and go for it
  • TO luxe:

    From what 藍天's stated, "I think" he is not satisfy with his current situation. The reason i said that was because he stated that in the future, there will be:

    1. longer working hours
    2. no obivious growth on his salary
    3. he will be taking more responsiblity
    4. the most important, there will be projects/jobs that he is not keen, but need to do

    May be i am not as expert as you are, but he stated that

    "...人活在世界上,應該
    不只是追求事業的發展而已吧. 其實我真的很想接受這個機會,因為新的工作性質會讓我有機會飛到海內外各地,和不同國家的人斡旋..."

    From my understaning this paragraph tells me that this is an opportunity that will lead him to a different world (career wise), as well as having chance to meet people from different places around the world, and he is keen on it, on the other hand it deals with things such as "job satisfaction" & "motivation"

    With regards to long term prospects, from my(an non expert) point of view and according to what he said "其實我也很清楚,這次的選擇
    對我的前(錢)途影響甚大", its clearly stated that this is a job that will lead him to a senior position with better salary package (double than his current salary).

    to be continued...
  • I dont know much about 藍天 and his job, but surely he interpreted and evaluated the situation thats why he is so hesitate in making decision.

    Can you tell me what are important factors in a job? Qualification? That may be true, but wouldnt you think ability and capability are more important?

    May be we are coming from different angle about this matter, i.e you are coming from "expatriate planning" field and i come from "Management" and "Internation Trade". Regardless of our professional field, we are just analyse the situation for 藍天 to make up his mind.


    Hopefully we can have some feed back from 藍天 of his final decision
  • 回 s.ho 的話:
    真高興碰到也喜歡這闕詞的人. 容我趁機默一次

    莫聽穿林打葉聲,何妨吟嘯且徐行。
    竹杖芒鞋輕勝馬,誰怕!一蓑煙雨任平生。 

    料峭春風吹酒醒,微冷,山頭斜照卻相迎。
    回首向來蕭瑟處,歸去,也無風雨也無晴。

    To 非遜男:
    你回敬我的這兩句話,其實對我的做法,的確
    有當頭棒喝的作用喔,多謝~
  • To Kiaora & Luxe,
    You guys are deeply appreciated for spending so much time on trying
    to help me to find out the "best" way out of this maze.

    However, as I mentioned in my second post of this topic, I decided to
    ask the new company to keep the offer till end of this year if they
    really want me. I knew, this is absolutely not the "best" solution,
    because the new company may not wait for so long, and even it will, I
    just simply put a question mark of my passion to the new job, and some
    may think I am too proud to be a good coordinator.

    So. Why did I decide to go this way even though I knew it is not the
    best way? The reason is quite simple, though sounds oddly -- I just
    choose the way that I enjoy walking along. Someday I may find the end
    is not where I expect, it is also possible that I will murmur some
    cursing words to myself.

    Looks like a tragedy, isn't?-- people will ask.
    But for me, as long as I can recall that what the mood I am in while
    making the decision, I would rather take this play as a romance.

    Anyway, sorry to give you this kinda childish explanation after being
    through all these analysis. Maybe I am just too young to solve this
    mess wisely, but holy mother and her baby, I am glad to be a happy fool
    with pretty alot of respect of my own.

    Thanks again for you generous persons, and hope you all can always keep walking on your favorite path, with my best regards.
