Go Back to EMERSON ?
今天给艾默生的一位老领导去了个电话，原本是想让他为即将进行的华为公司求职的背景调查美言几句，没想到他的第一个反应就是，“找工作？你回来吧。”
这位当年我的直接上司，如今已经是公司的中高层了。这句突然而来的话，让人心中很是温暖了几秒。一个听上去似乎还不错的工作，负责香港及澳门地区的客户关系，因为要求熟练的英语和广东话，所以位置一直空着。我这个在广州求学四年，又在美国呆了两年多，似乎正是这个职位的完美补缺者。
但，艾默生的薪水呢？目前手上的几个OFFER，薪水虽然算不上丰厚，但好歹过过日子也凑合得过去，年薪都在350K-400K上下。华为虽然压力更大些，但机会也更多些，且还有股票的激励。而我是从艾默生走出来的，自然对他的薪资水平不敢有太多的期待。但这个职位的确，看上去还不错的。负责港澳地区，或许三五年后，职业生涯会有些新的改观？
但，真地要回到艾默生去吗？

ETN Delayed my job offer!
Since last week's excuse from Erica, I have accumulatively wasted about 3 weeks in waiting for ETN's offer! How dare you!
This morning, Raymond gave me another call telling me there would be another final interview at Shanghai next monday, just because the up-to-the-minute replacement of the National Sales Director. In fact, I dislike this work style at all, since I had passed the background investigation initiated by HW, I believed an offer from HW is just around the corner and I do not have to take this insult from this ugly sluggish company.
However, as a professional manager, do I have another choice?

终于，终于，UMSL的学位证书寄到了，天大的喜讯！
不过，听说 Ziyong Li 似乎没有拿到证书，心中不禁有点惨然。
虽然他很久没和我们联络了，但毕竟一起去的美国，而且关系也曾经非常不错。唉，听说不久前也从美国回来了，但到现在为止还没有他的消息。
祝他走好！

Tortured extremely by alternative between HW and ETN
Which one is better for me, speaking of my future professional career?
Either had its advantages and weakness.
Regarding to HW, I had served it several years before I left for United States and I knew how it operates and how it deals with the employees. In a word, it is a company worthy of your trust and pride. However, HW has been growing too fast these years, and this explosive increasement sometimes implies tremendous crisis in the shadow where you can not put an eye upon.
As to ETN, a fortune 500 company, offers me a position titled China South Regional Manager. Annual salary package is not bad, job title is attractive, walfares will be good and the job challenge coexists with future promotion opportunities. Everything seems fine but I just ... still felt something is not there.

HW job interview @ Shanghai
Thanks to Celia Xie, my HW collegue. She recommended me to HW HR manager several days before I was informed to take an interview in Shanghai today.
Efficiency of HW is amazing.
I met Mr. Gao, a high-level cadre soon after my arrival at Shanghai. It took about 35 minutes and went smoothly. 10 minutes later, just stepped out the elevator of YOYO square, HR manager reached my phone and told me the next interview would be hold at 3:30 pm. The speed!
The interviewer in the afternoon is a female, of even more higher level. You can discern that by the attitude of other co-workers, they called her Li Zong of respects. She was very nice, with gentle voice, elegant smiles, clear expression. And she was also from Hunan province which inspirited me for a while.
Many bullshits, you know that, you had to introduce yourself again and again and answer every stupid and awkward question. But you had to, no choices, no protests, just because you must have a job!
Ps, today is our wedding anniversary!

ETN job application, So far so good.
Two months had elapsed away before eventually I got a definite answer from my headhunter, Raymond Zheng.
7 rounds of job interviews, 4 by phone and 3 by face-to-face. Can you imagine what I suffered in the long run persuing this job opportunity?
I fell into silence after Ray's notice. He told me the final result was out of the water and I was their first choice if I agree with the compensation package they offered. The number is a little less than I expected and their explanation was the limitation of the whole employee salary system and consideration of the balance among all employees of the same job level.
At the end of the phonecall, I denied the offer and insisted my original income expectation which I deserve.

About the Chinese MBA degree
这些天，不断有同学问是否参加国内某所TOP 10 大学MBA学位答辩的事情，对我们这些已经拥有了一个美国知名大学MBA学位的人来说，判断是否参加其实是很简单。
众所周知，国内的大学的教学质量大多是层纸糊的窗户纸，没人去捅破而已，哪怕再知名的学校也是如此。我研究生在国内这所大学读了几个月，后来离开去了美国一所学校，两者的校风学风，教学质量，学术氛围完全是两个概念。国内的知名教授除了规定的上课时间外，没有多的时间陪你玩学术上的论题，毕竟学校外的各种头衔才是他们真正的挣钱养家之道。而在美国的学校里，教授授课的严谨是很令人尊敬的，对学生的评级也很客观公正，学生往往为了一分两分的成绩也要与教授争个你死我活才能有所斩获。而在国内，谁在乎你成绩啊，呵呵，只要你准时把学费缴足了就成。在这样的一种育才标准体系下，这样的国内大学一个MBA学位能有多少含金量？
攻读MBA学位，为的是对企业营运有个总体的了解，短短的两年课程，是不可能将一个对企业运作毫无概念的学生培养成一个优秀的企业高管的，最重要的还是实践。通过系统的学习，可以了解企业内部各个单位的职能和运作方式方法，同时对于各单位之间的摩擦与配合有了初步的理解，仅此而已。当然如果学生本身性格外向，可以多做点外联，对未来的求职是有所帮助的，但并不是必要条件。
因此，如果有空余时间，用点时间再多拿个学位或是文凭未尝不可，写写论文借以加深自己对理论上的研究和探讨，或是趁机将自己工作的体会和经验加以总结，这真是一件美事。但如只是为了多混张印刷精美的纸片，意义似乎不大，多花的时间和金钱，只能说是投进水里去了。
