[讨论]独自思考了俩星期, 在下决心前, 上来咨询哈-关于回国

Post by Lafayette » 2006-08-13 9:27

国内一分公司在北京OFFER我position, keep my current compensation, but not a Expats. I need to consider the following: rent a apartment; my daughter's school etc. 家中某人还得另找工作. 有何建议呢, 我知道这里有好多回流的JM.

北京的公寓很多,听说价格上都可以商量。看公司有没有住房补贴,量力而行。我知道的有Expat Package的人租朝阳公园附近的高级公寓3室2厅200平方米左右大概2万块人民币,另外也是那附近的其他小区,同样面积1万块左右的。

听说很多学校都有校车接送孩子上学,应该很方便。

最近一期的《Business Week〉说在美国做五年才能得到的位子,在中国做三年就可以了。因为高级管理人员年龄上有断层,年轻人的机会特别多。不知道是不是真的。

It's almost impossible for anyone to respond with this little bit of information. Seems like a pretty big decision. Do you really want to be influenced by strangers' opinions? It's probably more informative to discuss with friends and relatives who know your situation and you as a person, rather than with people who have no idea who you are and what you want.

Do you plan to live in China permanently or temporarily?
What are the options?
Do you want to go?
Does your husband want to go?
Does your child want to go?
What is the value of going? What's the concerns for not going? What's important to you? Money? Career growth? Quality of life?

这个2万块跟我没有关系 :oops: ,是某些幸运的人。

如果有可能,跟分公司要些房租补贴吧。另外,在中国的公司工作好像就没有401k的match了,是不是要在合同里补偿一点儿呢?

如果我有这么好offer(keep the compensation),然后工作地点又在我父母附近,工作强度不太累(比如平时加班周末不加班),我就回去。不过我没有孩子,很多事就不一样了。

一言难尽.
Jun got the point. I was thinking to go back just for 3-4 years, and my daughter can have a few years Chinese education. if she likes we may decide late to stay in China permantly.

I have a very good position in Canada as well. pretty good salary plus company car, but it is very busy and have to work 10 hours a day and some weekends.

My husband doesn't want to go back at this time, he thinks if this is a expats offer, he would agree.

I don't mean to be rude, but I think this approach is backward.

My guess is that you want to take the offer but your husband doesn't, and you wonder if you can find any supporting argument on the Web. Am I mistaken in my assumption?

At least 3 people's lives will be affected, and their feelings and opinions should be the only consideration. Strangers on the Web, despite their (our) good intentions, cannot and should not be a factor in your decision.

Just my 2 cents. Regard it with a grain of salt.

你肯定回国后不会这么忙?

据我所知,在北美工作量都在每天10小时以上加部分周末的公司工作,回中国,只会更忙不会更闲,比如律师,比如会计师。

I agree with Jun too. You also need to take your daughter's opion seriously and think about what's down the road for her. I don't know how old she is, but a lot of people came back to the States for their children for all kinds of reasons. It's a family decision. Good luck.

Lafayette是想找人聊聊吧?也整理一下自己的思绪,倒不见得是指望网上的人替她做决定。

做为有孩子的职业女性,家庭事业兼顾,在国外是很辛苦的。国内工作虽然不见得更清闲,但是有亲戚和家人的support, 服务业也比较发达,起码家事有人帮忙,是个好处。

不过,如果夫妻意见不一致,还是要好好商量才是。不回去,你也有其它的option, 比如再等一两年,有资格拿expats 再去,或者在本地换个压力小点儿的工作。

选择了结婚这种生活方式,互相的妥协是必要的。

说是ridiculous有点过重了。

换个角度想想,如果是你先生拿到这样的offer,要你抛弃现在的工作回国重新找,你是否愿意。一家人 -- 就是你们一家三口 -- 在一起好好生活最重要。

无论如何,决定之后,不管发生什么,不要互相埋怨。

我有点不明白,既然不是expat offer package, 那为什么北京的公司愿意付那么高的薪水请你去做呢? 一份外国的薪水可以雇用五个(我瞎猜)中国雇员,难道你的工作这么不可他人代替? 在多长时间内只有你能做这个呢? 不想做了你能回北美吗? 工作肯定更忙就不说了。

我有几粒大学同学毕业后去中国做。 当然都年轻没家累,有美国护照, 肯干又贪玩。 天天喊忙喊累,但进出五星旅店饭馆的, 正是他们想要的日子。

Karen问/说得再对没有了。有孩子的人孩子是紧箍咒。撇开孩子不谈,今后想不想回来,回来以后有什么职位也是很重要的。我同学夫妇俩都派回国(不是一个公司),两人都一周工作60小时以上,他们现在对将来的期望是,回美国,最好有以前的职位,生小孩。
每个人每个时间想要的不一样,重要的是一家人好好商量,尽量在一起,做好决定一起努力。

我觉得葡萄皮说得挺好。 安顿下来的细节问题其实你不用太担心,租房子,或者买房子都不是难事。主要是看看对一家人长久计划来说,这是不是个好决定。

我个人不太赞成回去试试看的做法。我周围知道的回国过得很开心而且不后悔当初决定的,当年都是花了好几年的时间不断地来回跑,考察包括career以及生活方面所有细节之后,全家做的informed decision.

我同意忧而不伤说的,Lafayette的女儿多大? 一般孩子八九岁以前搬家还好办;再大点很多孩子会对某个地方某个房子尤其是朋友圈子很attached.

如果不在我父母(或者我先生的父母)旁边,那对我来说回国就少了一半以上的意义。至于阔少提到的换位思考,我倒也做过这样的白日梦:如果家猪想回去,他同意我半年不找工作游山玩水,或者比较低薪的工作(比如两千rmb)随便作作也不影响家庭生计,那就毫无问题。

天天在一起过日子的不就是你们两个,你们商量妥了,为什么还要跟别人商量?

同样道理,如果一个决定引起另一半的长期不开心(比如一段时间内找不到工作,或者不适应当地情况),你想必也不会开心到哪里去。

每个人看重的方面的确不同,容我再罗唆一句,回国度假和回国定居是两回事。

我很老土地问一句, expats offer和一般的offer有什么不同? 工资待遇不变再加若干各种补贴?

我有朋友曾经回国工作一段时间, 就是这边的工资待遇再加若干百分点, 那边管住房, 给交通补贴和生活补贴, 小孩上国际学校学费全报. 总之她在国内拿的补贴已经过日子有余, 这边的钱全部进银行. 这种是不是就是expats offer?

ha! your assumption doesn't apply to me. Be honest, I intent to turn this offer down for many reasons. But I worry this mightbe once in a life chance for me. So looking for information wildly and make sure I won't regret.

Trust me, whatever you said wouldn't affect my decision, however, the information shared here are valuable.

但是,现在国内想找一个好保姆,也是很难的。

有亲戚和家人的support:

这一点,并不是每个家庭都是这样的。有的时候,老人来帮忙,反而越帮越乱了。而且孩子教育方面,很多观点不一样,也会引起冲突。

Putaopi 这番话在算法语言里叫做Greedy Algorithms:
“Algorithms for optimization problems typically go through a sequence of steps, with a set of choices at each step. For many optimization problems, using dynamic programming to determine the best choices is overkill; simpler, more efficient algorithms will do. A greedy algorithm always makes the choice in the hope that this choice will lead to a globally optimal solution.” (Introduction to Algorithms.)
