I write after a long hiatus. A job change, a status upgrade (as daddy) and a very eventful year in my career and life, I find myself again as the year draws to a close - Could I have done better? Worked smarter?
The job change to a blue chip major meant more money and respectability for the brand value it held, but did it provide me with job satisfaction? I will never know. An year ago money and financial security weighed in favor, compared to job satisfaction, growth prospects and a promised trip to the U.S.
Well that was then. With a difficult boss to handle and not-so-perfect colleagues I find myself questioning my rationale for the decision. Would i go back to my old job... No I don't think so.
The money sure is good, but as for the rest I just discussed above I have no idea about the growth in the company. There are too many fishes in this big ocean that are trying to gain attention.
Some try too hard to grab attention, so hard that the attempts almost seem ludicrous, while others do the same by doing someone in and getting a few brownie points.
Though people and their 'competitive spirit' no long surprise me, what surprises me are the levels to which people tend to stoop. Some you can laugh away and dismiss as a joke others that try to malign you are not funny. Yet I cope with them, as I have for the past 1 year hoping for better future.
As some people say some people grow wise only in retrospect, hope that's not true in my case. :)
