I super agree with you. I understood this too late after I worked for many years. Dxxx. Anyway, hopefully nothing is too late. Would you give some advice to a guy who is rather smart and super hardworking like me? Thanks.

Be more concise, talk like an Indian. Be honest, promotion might bring more pressure than purely being a techy guy.

you are damn right. I stepped down because I couldn't stand the heat and I don't think it is worth for that 20% increase.

Sorry to hear that. However if a Chinese can be on a director position, which means a 130K and 20% of bonus, plus stock options, if might worthwhile to suffer a fews years.

I was in a director position and I had access to HR data so I know I was at 99 percentile in term of $$$ and my departnment head virtully put me in charge of everything from architecture to budget to project management.However, everyone even my dentist asked me to quit.
I earn much lesser $$$ but I am quite happy with my own startup company and I dream 1 day my 1 man company can do better when the economy recovers.

Agreed. Many people, even at Fortune 10 firms, don't know what they are doing. They make a living playing politics and being in the right place the right time. Pick a career carefully and work hard, you will come out on top."Most people...put in minimum effort in order to not get fired. Even with years...they may still don't understand the basic concepts let alone the big picture." Well said!
