I've been job hunting recently.
But after a recent interview with one of the top company in my industry, i ended up having doubts about my career path.
I performed quite well in the interview (i think), and am currently waiting for them to arrange for a second round of interview. However, it got me thinking, was it really the lifestyle i wanted?
For one, this company is famed for its LONG working hours.
Yeah, and everyone seems to be really driven in their job (how else would you be able to withstand the long hours?)
That's something i never had to encounter in my working life so far (luckily).
The pay is almost certainly guaranteed to be good.
But, is this what i want?
I once discussed this with my friend.
You will never know that you are in heaven unless you have been to hell.
She was from audit and naturally, experienced what hell was like. So she definitely appreciated her current "heavenly" job more.
What about me? I've always been in heaven, i suppose. Except that it doesn't feel like heaven to me because i take it for granted.
I don't count my blessings when i have such good working hours. (In fact, i can even knock off at 6pm sharp on Tues and Thurs to go for my Korean lessons!!)
The pay is reasonable - maybe far below my company's competitors but is good enough for my expenditure (considering i don't buy branded goods).
But i am still disgruntled everyday.
My boss is biased!
There is no visibility in my job!
The traders treat us like shit!
I have to do shit work everyday!
My team members are uncooperative!
I am under-appreciated!
Nobody thanks me for doing a good job but only scream/nag/blame when i screw up!
My lousy computer is running so slowly and it keeps hanging!
Why does who/who/who gets so much opportunity and i don't?
Why does who / who / who gets paid so much more than me?
Who /who /who gets on my nerves!!
na-dah na-dah... you get the drift.
Yes i am never contented. Or is it just a human trait?
Because after that particular interview, i started thinking about my current job.
1. I can knock off early.
2. Minus the rantings from the traders, I actually enjoy what i do.
3. I am quite ok with my pay.. i guess i might be below market rate, but it just means that i wont get "POK" so fast right?
4. I have a close clique of friends in my company whom i will definitely miss.
HOW?? SERIOUS DILEMMA RIGHT?
To change a job or not to change a job?
I am really a mediocre person. I might not be able to survive under stress!!!
Should i just be contented with what i have currently?
Should i just remain as a MEDIOCRE ME?
