Reading the blog of a friend of mine, I wish her all the best in her new position in her chosen field.  In fact, I've been working in the same sector as her, but didn't keep her informed, I am definitly the guilty one.  I only start to feel that my career just starts, and my friend has already moved on, and who knows where we will end up; but think again, does it really mater?  And, my friend, my this very friend I am writing about, if you happen to be reading this blog, I want to apologize for losing contact with you for such a long time, but you are still my good friend, hope you understand.

 

Looking back to my past year, I didn't get what I really want, maybe I've wasted too much time to realize that.  A colleague yesterday said, in this industry, you should be as close to money as possible.  That's d*mn right, and I am sort of in the position with the maximum distance toward money in my company, this is clearly not good.  Although I've been given the chance to do all the training I requested, CFA, IMC, SUN, and maybe FRM and CAIA too.  But with the current role, I won't go far, in fact, I start to wonder if the current role will ever get me anywhere.  I need to move on too, without a shadow of doubt.  I would like to have a role model to follow in the company, a model that is knowledgable and I truely respect and  trust, not just moaning about everything, or just getting excited by something but never get anything tangible done, or just "I won't bother".  I had been very dispointed so far, and it seems I have to proactively seek one.

 

I'll "open the sky window and speak the bright language" to both my reporting manager and HR next week, may be risking my job, and tell them I am not achieving what I wanted and planned, what we do about it here?.

 

My friend, I truely wish you the best, as you always said to me, "wish you better than me", and you seem to be doing very well.  Ver well.
