Cool story but that's just typical imo. The person who wrote the article had failed to see the plus point which he gained through out the course.

For my case when i came out, i never thought of Big4 or top IT Services recruiter. I just need a job which is challenging enough for me. True enough working on weekends and late night occasionally but as a freshie i tend to take all this opportunity as a learning curve.

Well, i got the recognition, more responsibility and stress level just increases day by day but yet the pay i am receiving is not adequate to the job i am receiving. This had became the major factor for me to move on. I insisted to continue on what i am doing as it seems i really like what i am doing. I am doing different things daily, other people's problem had became mine. Basically my job scope is to solve and provide customers with solution to their issue (Business not personal).

The sales rep are being paid so well (2-4 times my salary) but i can see their stress level is so much more higher. Chasing for figures daily, working till late night most of the time and more importantly doing things which i don't like. Being screwed by their boss and clients day and night had became a norm to them. The company offered me a sales specialist job with higher benefit and salary with commission but unfortunately i can't imagine myself working without pride.

I left the company eventually and thanks to the persistent which i had, i landed with a job which is so much more easier and paid so much better compared to my previous job. In 3 years time, i've double the gain from my 1st job.

*What is most important to me is having pride doing what you are doing, love what you are doing and know what you are best in.

*Many would see the other field has greener grass and tempted to jump over to the other field without any experience playing on it. What causes them to lose out is actually they have failed to see what's better in their own field and they've actually failed to excel on it.
