There are to be going to be a very big change at my work place. There is some sort of Organisational restructure because some people left the company. At the some time, some people will be promoted, relocated and etc. I have a new boss to report to and my functional reporting boss is the Indian colleague that I had some problem with. That will not be a good thing. :S
The workflow at my side is kind of messy ever since my bosses had left so there will be a lot of things that we need to sort out. There are new things that they will require us to cover, some of which is my boss boss think is without reason. I don't know... I will just do what I can...
I am still thinking if I should change a job after I get my degree. There are pros and cons to it.
Pros: I have very good opportunity to grow and develop in my current job. After all, I am the most experienced person in the Asia technical team for my division right now. Even though I do not know everything, I still know enough of my work to be able to contribute. Sometimes experience is really more valuable than everything else.
Cons: I am honestly abit bored of doing the same thing for the past 6+ years. Be it that I am having more responsibility to do things, it still boils down to doing the same things. However, if I change my job, I will have to accept a much lower salary than what I am getting now. After all, a fresh graduate in marketing will never be able to get as high salary as what I am drawing now. In fact, I think I will probably draw a salary that I drew when I first started work. It is just very hard to accept getting such a low pay after so many years.. Sigh...
I have been thinking about this for a very long time. As my final exams for my degree is approaching, I guess it is really time for me to think about this and at the same time look out for other job offers. I really should not drag any further...

Time to change job. :)
heh... I didn't know you are still reading my blog! :P
Ya... I am seriously considering to change my job... I will see how things go with all the changes to my work... I need to hang on until I get my degree before I can do anything!
I do not want to influence your decision but I gather you are changing your careers instead of changing jobs? (Technical to Marketing stuff?). Even this is the case, there is no need to shortchange yourself so much as to accept a fresh graduate pay.
Your work experience stand you in good stead even though it may not be totally relevant. Sometimes, maturity and attitude also counts. You have work for a couple of years and I can see you are hardworking, at least from your blog.
Be patient, get your degree first and see how it goes in your company. Don't change for the sake of changing unless you really have a very good opportunity and there is not much difference in terms of salary.
Normally if there is a career change, there will be some adjustment in the initial phase but we should know what we want in life....just don't shortchange ourselves.
Our worth is not determine by other people, we must first convince ourself we ought to deserve better life.
By the way, what you said also make sense, sometimes it doesn't way to be a busybody even though the intentions are good. Some people just have strong opinions, that's their lives, why bother?
As long as you are doing the right thing, that is more important.
I think I talk too much already, just remember, in evey bad crisis, there is a always an opportunity, the chinese call it 危机.
Er...I mean it doesn't pay to be a busybody....
