:-( :-( :-( :-( OT is part of my working life... already used to it. I once needed to have meetings at 2am, 4am, 6am, 8am,.... and I slept with the alarm clock and the phone... :-( :-( :-(
That's why I want to change to my dream job - kinder.
For the mid-night meetings, that were all conference calls, with people from UK, Israel, US, etc... all were from different timezones, so :-( :-( :-( :-( I once have 30+ Israel clients coming to HK and I brought them to Mong Kok for shopping, the shop-keepers asked me whether I was a tour-guide who needed to collect commissions and how much would be my commissions...
when I see your messages, I rem my friend in Chicago... working in Goldman, also required to lead/ participate the conference call or netmeeting in mid-night ... coz you know, AM in Chicago is mid-night in HK, Toyko but vice versa....
although her salary is too attractive (48 months fixed salary plus bonus... amt few millions HKD pa)... plus housing, meals, ... she has no time for herself... 24 hours a day is all for her job...
so, she saves every coin of her money she plans to quit her bright job in near future and back to 'normal' lady... working as a 'teacher'....
