it's the final countdown...

bet you think I am thinking of my birthday countdown right? that's where you're wrong...

I am thinking that I will soon be leaving the company... I am starting to plan for it. But first of course, in order of priority:
1. Get my Bonus
2. Get a Job
3. Leave.. WAHAHAHAHA

I have come to realise that while I am feeling very tortured by "yoda" (yes, that's the nickname given to my boss's boss, that or we call him "spiderman")... it is a v bad reason to be leaving my company.

I will leave because I believe my net worth is higher than what current company is giving and because it's time for a change and a need for career advancement. Current company is just too slow, and so, I doubt I have the patience to wait for them to acknowledge my talent. I totally undertand their logic, they hire a lot of people, all of whom are v talented... and it takes more effort to rise up through the ranks.

I see that in other companies too.. but maybe it's the performance based approach taken in other companies, talents are acknowledged a lot better there. Of course, it may be that I am not performing well.. (hmm.. that's food for thought), and so since I am not on the receiving end of that treatment, I am not aware of it.

Look at it this way, it about 25 mins, I will be be 30 yrs old. I would have been in the workforce for 8 years. I am not even near to being a snr executive, being 2 grades away. Of course, I potentially will get a promotion this year, and that means I am 1 grade away. But still, I doubt I will make manager in current company until I am at last 36-38.. that is assuming I am a high-flyer. But I am realistic in my expectations, I am performing well, but I am not the greatest, nor the best.

So first things first... wait for bonus announcement and date of bonus payout... then with that firmed up, it would be easier for me to start looking for jobs. I hope I don't have to resign first.. but my notice period is awfully long and potential employers may be put off by it.. aiyah.. see how lah.. worry now also useless. BONUS announcement early May/late April... ladada... must "lun" until then... REN!!!!
