jgey的單身日記
隨便寫寫...
正文
最近發生了很多事，我又異常的懶，所以一直沒有update。簡單的講一下，從5/16開始吧。
5/16，麵試一家大公司，financial IT，對方對我很滿意，上午麵試後，下午立刻打電話告訴我的recruiter他們會給offer，但是一開始是1年contract，之後可以繼續續約，或者轉為permanent。我當時有點暈，太快了，我反而有些不安。那天陪我同去的recruiter是個英國人，我們提前30分鍾見麵，一起喝咖啡，聊天，他原來在英國的時候，竟然是個警察。後來來日本看世界杯的時候，喜歡上這裏，於是搬了過來，現在是recruiter，很有意思的經曆。
5/17，周二見的法國公司的老板要見我，他和我想象的完全不一樣。我以為會是一個西裝革履的businessman，結果進來的人，大概38，9歲，很隨便的穿著jeans和套衫，更像一個artist。他坐在對麵，不停的打量我，也不提問，我們就這麽你看我，我看你的，最終他看夠了，開始提問，但問題和工作根本都不著邊兒。他看著桌子上的咖啡，問，"how is the coffee?" 我反問，"honestly?" 他點頭，"honestly." I was trying to be nice, so said, "its ok, not great, but OK." 他不做聲，盯著我看，看得我有點發毛，難道我臉上有字？！他說，"its horrible...the coffee, the worst coffee I have ever had." 我忍不住笑出來，說，"well, at least there is a cup of coffee, most companies even dont offer coffee for candidates." 他也笑，說，"that is a good answer." 這個法國男人有種非常奇怪的魅力，讓人不舒服，卻忍不住被吸引，dangerously attractive, very mature and sexy, I have to admit that he is fascinating me. 我對這公司興趣一般，不過這個老板，印象非常深刻。
5/18，一天內，3個麵試，頭暈。A start up company, 我並沒有主動找他們，而是他們通過一個非常奇怪的渠道找到我，friendster, its a social network website, most for friends connecting with each other. Jeff and Amir, I have no idea where to start, this whole thing is just strange and crazy. Jeff is american? maybe, I dont know, not very sure, and Amir is australian, Dave knows Amir, actually Amir's company is one of Dave's client, he used to try to help me to get a job in Amir's company, but they turned me down, cos they wanted someone with online marketing experiences. Now Amir came to me and wanna offer me a job in the new start up company by him and Jeff, what a small world!!!
I told Amir that I know Dave and Dave was trying to introduce me to his other company, Amir was surprised. Anyway, this start up company, they hope me to join as co-founder, and offer me some shares of the company, I had no idea what I should do at the moment, I mean, since I started job hunting, never thought I would face this kinda situation.
5/20, I was hanging out with Kevin and another friend, its not a date, and Kevin wasnt that attractive as the first time I met him, guess I was too tired that day. I could hardly think about dates or guys or whatever, all my minds on making the decision, big company vs start up, which one I should take?
5/21, I had a long talk with Dave at afternoon, from a coffee to a dinner and drinks, about which offer I should take, Dave is quite good as a consultant, I need his professional recruiting opinion on my problem. After I told him about all offers, we discussing, talking... blah blah, eventunally we both thought the big company could be the one.
5/23, Dave打電話給我，告訴我應該重新考慮一下start up company，他說他剛和Amir聊了一會兒，他們的條件其實很優厚。我當時剛剛結束shopping，在一家咖啡店裏坐著看書，於是立即衝到表參道和Dave麵談。Dave說，我周一和他講的內容和Amir說的不太一樣，估計是我當時都聽傻了，隻記住隻言片語。他把Amir跟他講的內容又給我解釋了一遍，重點關於how much profit I would get if the business succeeds, 我們又談了3個多小時，從咖啡到晚飯，最後我決定明天再約Jeff and Amir, 重新談一回，我有太多的疑問。Dave is the start up type of guy, he loves to be his own boss, and would never like to work in a big company. I have no idea what type of person I am, I used to work for a big company, but obviously, wasnt happy there, for start up, I am lazy and lack of self-discipline, so... tough decision.
5/24, 和Jeff，Amir見麵，我把自己的問題列在筆記本上，一個一個的問到滿意為止。Dave和Jeff不熟，但知道Jeff是個成功的投資者，倒賣過無數start up公司，而且很有錢。Dave對Amir的評價很高，我對Amir印象也很好，he is kinda quiet, but can tell that he is a very smart guy, he is married with 2 kids, working hard all the time, and makes quite good money with his other company. 這回麵談後，我對這個start up公司有了更多的了解，在大公司和start up之間，開始傾向於start up。在大公司我熬上3年，5年，一直要被人管，在start up，我可以管別人，這多爽啊，而且如果發展順利，我那點兒原始股就值大錢了，到時候我就可以滿世界的溜達了。我已經開始幻想自己坐在錢堆裏，數錢數到手抽筋，哈！
There is one thing that I didnt get, why me? I dont know what they see in me that can make them believe that I am the right person they looking for. Later I met Dave again, dinner, talk talk, and I asked him the same question, -- Why me? Dave said, "Jess, you are smart, you have something in you that would lead you to become a great leader." Really??? LOL, I even dont know I have that something. Anyway, Amir said, he thinks I have a lot courage to come to Japan alone, lol, its not courage, I just wanted to run away from my parents in those days, to have freedom. Oh, and ambition, do I really have ambition??? 我一直以為自己是那種胸無大誌的人，從來沒想過要拯救世界，或者實現共產主義，就算愛錢，也隻是希望天上掉錢而已，和那種立誌要做bill gates第二的有誌青年根本不能比。我沒什麽太大的理想和追求，隻希望開開心心，不愁吃穿，滿世界溜達，學自己有興趣的東西，這樣大概就該滿足了。不過自由是要由錢來支持的，無奈阿，生活現實，最後還是要回到錢上。Dave and Amir, they both see the ambition in me which myself can hardly see yet, so, why not give a try?
晚上和老爸聊天，談關於工作的事情，他希望我去大公司，比較有保證。我說，爸，錢啊，要是錯過了，我腸子都該悔青了；老爸說，知足常樂，太辛苦去賺錢，不值得；我說，不行，我才27，達不到那個境界；老爸說，你自己看著辦吧，你喜歡就好。
5/25，和曉見麵。好久沒見，她還是老樣子，樂觀，知足。我覺得她真的是達到我老爸說的那個境界了，知足常樂。曉有一份穩定的工作，一個穩定的男朋友，生活過得非常有規律，每天9點上班，6點下班，每年和男朋友一次海外旅行，聽起來很讓人羨慕。隻是，她那樣的生活不適合我，我會覺得煩，性格決定命運，我就像最外圍軌道上的電子，總是在找機會脫離固有軌道，心太散，不知道是福是禍。曉和男朋友很穩定，但是還沒有結婚的打算，聽說另一個高中好友都已經懷孕，即將做媽媽，真是讓人感慨萬千，時間過得真快。而我，對結婚，家庭，完全沒有打算，也沒有想法，連一丁點兒的向往都沒有，過去曾經有過一點點，現在真的完全沒有了，好奇怪。我不介意有個相對穩定的男朋友，但是婚不必結，baby更是萬萬要不得，我受不了小孩子哭，煩。我在想，單身女人是不是過了一定的年齡，例如說25歲，就開始失去對婚姻的興趣了？下周我打算回家住10天，在新的工作開始之前，估計我老娘又要開始催我結婚了，最受不了她嘮叨。我向來不喜歡計劃將來，如果一定要暢想一下3年後的情況，我隻能想到工作，最好可以更成功一些，更有錢一些，換個大一點的apartment，可以回學校讀點兒什麽而不用擔心花費，其他的好像都無所謂，連愛情都是可有可無...聽起來好像不大妙，是不是那個什麽“愛無能”的現代病的開始征兆啊？!
我和Jeff又談了一次工資，我要他再加一些，最後達成協議，我決定去他們的start up company. 早知道4月就不花時間到處麵試了，可以旅遊一個整月，真是悔死了。job hunting告一段落，接下來就要看我們的小公司會不會發財啦，哈!
都早晨6點了，寫得匆匆忙忙，前言不搭後語。其實這次關於去大公司還是start up的決定，大概是我這些年來最最認真謹慎考慮過的唯一問題，通常我做決定的時間都不超過10秒，這次算破例，難得我這麽認真，maybe Dave and Amir are right, I really do have some ambition for this new business, just need a little more time to wake it up. Anyway, we will see.
