Just a few weeks ago I thought I'm going to apply for MBA, get into business school and spend 2 years there. Now I'm thinking i'm not going to do it. Really sounds stupid huh? I don't know why I'm applying to b-school. I don't know what I want to get out of it. It seems like most ppl get out of MBA to be a consultant or a banker..then why bother? I'm not intersted in being a banker. Consulting..hm..I think I can probably try to get a consultant position without doing MBA anyway.
I think what I want now is some customer experience. I have been trying to look for PM and consultant positions in Oracle. Another possible solution is to work for the oracle apps division of a consulting firm. However they don't really hire ppl with H1 visa, and when you say you have no customer experience, seems that it was an immediate no. Consulting in oracle, I talked to bennet today. He told me something I haven't thought about. Oracle is actually trying to cut down on consulting to prevent competition with consulting firms. So it doesn't seem to be a solution. As for PM, I even interviewed for a position for global financials thru carol. It didn't work. He thinks i'm too technical. Well I think I am. From what bennet told me, consulting seems to be the way to go too.
Today is probably the last day bennet is here, he will be moving to shanghai to join the sales team there. I finally went up to him and have a chance to talk to him. He said he could find me a consulting position in shanghai. This is really tempting. He has a point. The market in China is like the market in US 10 years ago. The market in US is quite mature and have a lot of senior ppl understanding the products very well. So if I go to China now it could be a good opportunity.
I'll need to get back to him by Oct 15. There are certainly a lot of risk, but it seems like a good opportunity that I can't pass up. I miss my friends here, I miss them a lot. I talked to my mom just now, told her that I might be working in shanghai. I actually wanted to cry. I guess I really fall in love with SF and the friends here. I don't want to leave. :(
I don't know...tell me what I should do...I intend to go..maybe let's see how things work out.
