Dear Ariel, I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits.Even the work environment is cool.But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends.I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground,but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time.I still need to find a girlfriend.So,shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom? Amoretto |
Dear Amoretto, I have two things to say:First,you're lucky to have such an excellent offer,especially at a time when so many qualified(胜任的)people are struggling to find any work at all; and second,you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working. Take the job.You'll be learning,doing interesting things,working in a cool environment,and making money.If you're given a contract (合同),make sure you understand the terms before you sign.Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work.If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working,you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it. Give your wor k 100 percent.Work energetically and efficiently.If you're dedicated(敬业的)and focused,you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time.Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power.Finally,remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment.Try to give it at least a year (two is better).If you're really miserable after that time,look for another job that will give you more freedom.By then,you'll have workplace experience,bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings.Good luck!
