A "Secret" Revealed

I bet I caught your attention with the title eh? Well actually it's not THAT big of a secret, but I have been extremely low key about the situation. Some of you reading this will already know that coming Wednesday (19 September) will be my last day in my current company.

Why?
Well because I just felt I needed a change of environment, as I am starting to feel things are getting a bit mundane and I needed something new and different. Plus the place I'm going to are able to offer me what I'm asking for (for now at least...hehe). So why not right? It will be a very good learning curve for me as I will be taking on a dual role in that company, having more decision making responsibilities in terms of building the company, which is a good thing.

Where?
Haha! This is the million dollar question many people have been asking. Let's just say, it's a company that consists of many young talents. The people who I will soon call my colleagues are relatively young (even my boss is younger than I am I think)...but well, I guess they have more experience than I do in this industry. I won't reveal as yet, simply because it's against my working ethics to do so (the company is a direct competitor to my current company...so you know what I mean). But all will be reveal once I start there on 1st October...promise!

Risk or Opportunity?
Well, every decision has its pros and cons. The risk of course is this company is a smaller company than the one I'm leaving. Another risk is that the team are all very young, which makes you wonder about their experience, capabilities and commitments. On the plus side, I bring with me experience from a bigger company having dealt with bigger corporate clients and accounts. One of my deciding factor was also because I saw potential and room for growth as I have more decision making authority there. Also, having a young team means that people can see things from your perspective.

In the mean time..
Well between 20th September and 1st October, I will have a good 10 days or so off from work. I have nothing confirmed as yet, but I think I might take a trip to some place, either alone or with who ever is interested to join me. Will play by ear on that. So who knows, I might even come find you for lunch and catch up! hehe..

So there! It's not a "secret" anymore. To all my business partners, clients and colleagues who are reading this, don't have to worry, I will be still be contactable via my mobile and MSN. So in case there is chaos, you can still give me a call anytime (but will charge consultation fees already..hehe...kidding). Heck, I will still drop by for lunches or to have drinks with you guys after work la! So don't think I am ditching you guys ok? Until then..
