我剛剛經(jīng)歷了事業(yè)中非常混亂的一個(gè)時(shí)期。
And I realised that there are 2 questions that you really need to ask yourself before taking a new job.
我現(xiàn)在意識到，找一份新工作前一定得問自己這兩個(gè)問題。
It is a bit late for me now. Hope it's not so for you.
這對我自己來說已經(jīng)有點(diǎn)晚了。希望它們對你來說還不晚。
Question 1: Is this job really necessary considering my current financial situation?
問題1：對于我現(xiàn)在的財(cái)務(wù)狀況而言，這份工作真的是必要的嗎？
Whether you are a graduate who is looking for a job or a working person considering changing jobs, this question is very important.
不管你是正在找工作的畢業(yè)生，還是正在考慮跳槽的職場人，這個(gè)問題都很重要。
Do not just consider the issue from the single dimension of wages. Higher salaries do not always guarantee a better position.
不要光從工資高低這個(gè)單一維度去考慮問題，工資越高的職位并不一定就越好。
First, does the high salary of this position come from the accumulation of repetitive labor? Or from the scarcity of your abilities?
首先，這個(gè)職位的高工資是來自于重復(fù)勞動(dòng)的累加？還是來自你能力的稀缺性？
Second, is this position beneficial to your career development?
第二，這個(gè)職位對你的職業(yè)發(fā)展有利嗎？
After all, career is a matter of path planning. Every job you do should be a stepping stone.
歸根結(jié)底，職業(yè)生涯是一個(gè)路徑規(guī)劃問題，每一份工作都應(yīng)該是一塊踏板。
You should step on the right stone at the right time, instead of always choosing the larger ones.
你應(yīng)該在合適的時(shí)候踩到合適的踏板，不要只看哪塊踏板更大。
Question 2: What do other people think?
問題2：其他人怎么想？
Although looking for a job is your own business, it’s a good idea to ask other people’s opinions.
雖然找工作是自己的事，但問問其他人的想法也是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇。
After all, each person’s professional background and focus of attention is different. And the way we analyze problems is different, too.
畢竟，我們每個(gè)人的專業(yè)背景和關(guān)注重點(diǎn)都不一樣，我們分析問題的方式也不一樣。
Ask other people what they think and they may lead you to see a whole new perspective.
多問問其他人的想法，他們可能會讓你看到全新的視角。
This includes not only asking your friends and family, but also searching the Internet.
這不光包括問你的朋友和家人，也包括上網(wǎng)搜索。
Listen to what people in the industry have said and what the former employees of the company have said.
看一看這個(gè)行業(yè)內(nèi)的人說了些什么，看一看這家公司以前的員工說了什么。
Sometimes this can change your ourlook completely.
有時(shí)候，這能把你之前的想法完全顛覆。
