Schmeichel

I met with the Country Managing Director. Decided not to make him drive all the way to Cyberjaya, so I met him in KLCC instead.

It was a good lunch. At the end of the day, I told him my standard line of "If someone comes up to me and says You now have Zero sales targets, you can be the firm's Chief Architect, just go and kick ass on projects.. BTW here's an AP salary". He said that now the firm is changing to allow for such roles and urged me to talk to this one Ang Moh guy who is actually the firm's Chief Architect. He said I had nothing to lose, and worst case, I could actually go and do my own thing and come back to the firm later...

So, he's arranging me to talk to this ang moh guy..

I gave the CMD the benefit of the doubt, and I will speak to this ang moh guy to see if there's really such hope.. but I have little hope...
