Clearing

Not talking about the haze here.. but my thoughts are definitely clearing.

So far, I have been quite focused on thinking about my career. That's why I was hesitant to take up my friend's job offer. Going to the CTO job gives me the chance to shape a new company, shape new technologies and shape my future. But I guess I need to increase my "circle" to include my family members.

With a start up job, whilst there's the technology passion, there's gonna be the late nights. Will my family appreciate that? Maybe not.

With the other job that my friend is offering, I get to work at home. Yes, there are going to be some flights overseas, but I do get to spend substantially more time at home. Probably a better balance.

But I do feel the pain of the company that I might turn down. I will call the CEO and explain. Yes.. the CEO will be pissed... but I will offer some of my time for free to help shape that company and provide leadership. I hope things will work out...
