Busy, busy..

It has been really difficult to find free time nowadays given the situation with my employer's impending move to their new office in KL, as well as my wife's constant reminding of her needs to get a new car.

Those issues also relate to other pertinent requirements as well, like moving houses, getting a maid as well as maybe, getting a new job.

Now, I am not such a big fan of job-hopping, but I do believe that job requirements not only comes from an employer, but most importantly, the employee must also set his own standards on what kind of company he wants to work for - even if you happen to own it yourself.

Now, for me to be happy working in a company, I have set certain prerequisites:

1. Accessible location
2. Profit making / cost saving benefits (like stock options or comprehensive medical coverage)
3. A great pay package
4. An unlimited growth/learning potential

After maybe about a couple of months, then other issues come into play:

5. An understanding manager
6. A cohesive team (politics abhorred..)
7. Meaningful day-by-day existence (opportunity to contribute)

It really depends on your pain threshold I suppose. The more you can tolerate, then the longer you would stay.
