Jobs are like your relationships

You tend to idealize the unattained jobs and the good-looking guy at the bar

After you going through a honeymoon stage, you will realize your expectation is different from reality

There will be ups and downs, no smooth sail. You will have your excited moments and doubts, stay open-minded and you will learn something invaluable that you can apply to other aspects of your life

Every job is unique just like every relationship, no one company share the same culture

Hard work is a key to success, but you also need to be rewarded accordingly, your work needs to be appreciated, just like how reciprocation works in a relationship

Compatibility

Sometimes you may walk into a job thinking it’s going to be short term but you may grow comfortable of it and turn it into a long term relationship

On the other hand, a job you stayed in for many years doesn’t guarantee you that corner office either

Sometimes a change is good; even though the breakup will be difficult as you are leaving a family that you are close to, you may find the next job provide you with more fitted culture, better care, and more expected growth

When you realize your startup is not working out, just like your bf is not compatible, cut your losses early, so you can move onto something greater

Every job is like every relationship, your skill set and world view will be expanded, but you also get to know yourself better and become clearer on what you want

Every job and relationship will be unique and special in its own way, cherish every moment and make the most out of it
