在摩托罗拉剩余的日子 : 136 days

Opportunities start knocking

1. Got an internal opportunity to take up the position of a Project Manager in the other sector. However i am still having reservations if i should seize that opprotunity due to a couple of reasons.

a. accepting the offer will means my severance package is gone. Though some told me is better to get a secure job than to get the $$$. No one can guarantee anything especially within Motoorla based on the current situation.

b. I am not sure if i want to seal up my own opportunites so early. Taking this offer now will laterally means i am not going to look for smoething else outside ( i can still do it , but no point since i wont have the package anymore if i quit )

c. I am reading up on Business Plans. You never know if your business ideas will end up giving you houses, bmws and 6 figure revenue.

2. Head hunting company called me for a position as a software manager in a MNC company. I told them i am only available in October. Didnt really tell them it was a retrenchment. THey thought i am under contract. Didnt have any more details on it, so i just sent them my CV

3. I am still in thoughts about doing my own internet business. reading up a lot and doing a lot of research. Wasnt really putting my chips that it will make it. But , all great ideas always come from crazy ideas first. I have talks with a couple of colleagues and hopefully we can form a partnership to dive deeper into this area.

Whether it is (1), (2) or (3) , it looks interesting. I still havent feel the "pain" of retrenchment though i am only left with 136 days. In fact i quite like my life now since i haev a lot of time to explore the various paths that i can take after Sep30.

Cheers
