Rumbling thoughts

While digging into company system today for on-line mid-year performance review, I noticed my new appointed position. Alhamdullilah I had been appointed to higher position in my technical career but the promotion part will be lapsed for the next few months. This was the outcome of technical interview I had many months ago.

The truth was, too many of my friends were expecting me to aim higher. The moment I step back into company, they foresee me to jump into at least 2 steps higher to where I left. It was quite difficult for me to face them and explain my personal view. Nevertheless, what is most important is I should be comfortable and enjoy doing what I am doing. It is no point if the position that I am holding create unnecessary stress to me which in the end I felt burden of holding it.

Tell me that I am weird or stupid for not wanting higher pay. But…so much in life that I wish to accomplish apart from climbing up the career ladder. One thing I am sure of is that I am not good with “KIPAS” if that is the strategy to go up. I go with my skill and capability. In many cases some friends said to me that I am under valued myself. Only God knows why…

My early morning rumbling thoughts...

Congrats on your promo! Hope you take it easy and what matters most are the things that make you happy & satisfied. I read somewhere that work is only a slice of the pizza.
