I lost... 最近有点烦

Recently my 'work cycle' symptom is attacking me, means after a while, the sound 'change job' is coming to my mind again.

It's now the 8th years since become one of the millions of employees in the world, and this is my 7th job, average out, my job is never longer than 1.5 year, totally failed in term of loyalty

I don't understand why I do keep change job. Let me refresh my memory...
The 1st job, company has financial problem.. so only crazy (or too rich until don't care about $) will stay there

The 2nd job, I was trapped into a VB project, not my choice, so, sorry to tell I have to move on to the job I like

The 3rd job, stay there quite long. The longest in my history, 1 year 9 months, have fun there since the colleague are all about the same age, and been motivated to take Java related professional certification with the gang of peoples there. I missed the time with the momentum we had there. As usual, things change by time, the group get separated, either by the reason of better offer, unhappy with management, environment and etc. So, the people leaving one by one. I am almost the last to leave there. Since then, my Java certification 'route' has put into the 'KIV' mode ...

The 4th job, stay quite 'long' there as well. 1.5 years. The team is great, everybody play their role just nice, so, it is quite relax and comfortable working environment. Then why leave? Well, after so many years of working, I start to think maybe I should work in a specific domain. All the while I had work in web based product, it is all Java projects, I had make myself stick with a technology, but non of these projects required specific domain knowledge. So I choose the 5th job, a telco related company

The 5th job, to be honest, this company has quite good benefit. It's a young company, they want to setup a development center in KL, so I join as a pioneer. Too bad the direction changed later, they wanted the development hub to be setup in India instead of KL. As compensation, they offered me to be re-allocate to the London HQ, but I feel something is going wrong, there is very high turn-over in management level, some even has being sack. So, I rejected the offer and move on to next. After a month after my resignation, I heard the company had ceased their operation immediately, is this means I'm lucky? (I think no one can tell, it would be totally different story if I went to London, and the company bankrupt. I might be back to KL, might be find another job there... who know what happen then....)

The 6th job, .. this job is totally different from what I do so far. It does not use Java, they have their product, and the job is deliver the customized project based on the product.
Why changed to this job? You said you want to work in a specific domain, is this company offered you this?
Hmm.... the product is for planning and scheduling, and I think this tool can be apply to any industry, and yes, they do have domain specific team for different project. And this job offered me as senior consultant, to be honest I was thinking maybe I should try to change my career path when I decided to take this job. I was though instead of being very technical oriented person, maybe should try myself to be a consultant (I was though a consultant role would be facing customer, gather requirements, and implements solution.. means would be more on business aspect instead of technical development). I can only say the job is not really what I expected, it's still very much as a developer, just that instead of Java developer, I am now a 'planning + scheduling application suite' developer. It is really a hard switch for me, to pick up the new tools, things doesn't happen as what I though, and sometimes I will think why am I change to this job??? If I am stuck with a developer role, why am I get myself out from Java??? This is not what I want to be!! So, again good-bye is my last word to my boss there

Then I moved to the 7th job, a job that far from home, different culture & different temperature :D, for the reason just want to back to same old skill I had. When get involved into the project, I feel I was step back to few years ago, kind like back to the 5th job role I done before.

So, now when I look back, I think these few years I had dilemma to choose where should I go next (got a frend told this is mid-age crisis...中年危机 !!)
First, though of moving to domain specific company.
Then, though of change career path
Now moved back to what I do feel most comfortable.

But my mind is still struggling. I still think of I must get into a domain specific company, and in the same time, the skill is being appreciated (basically, means $$ lah).
Yeah, my current project is related to baggage handling system in an airport. But don't you think this domain is too restricted? I might not able to move around easily. When I want to change job, although I have the technical skill, but due to lack of business domain knowledge, the company might not willing to offer me a very senior position. It will become a situation that I might be stuck in a place, and for me, stuck == sucks, I want freedom :D

But if change job again, what kind of job I should looking for? What the market can offer me? What can I do to get what I want? .. What I want?
If change to a job that just the same role, (Chinese said it as 'change soup, but not change medicine'), then why would I changed? Because of $? But what next after the new job?
Change job is very tire, need to get to know the new skill-set, new environment, new colleague, new game in the office...blahblahlah..
I hope I can move to a job that I can stay long. Then only I can really grow myself in a specific domain knowledge, stay competence in the market, then the company is appreciating my experience...so frend.. what should I do??
Hope my dream can give me hints.. good nite

When you have a stupid govt.

Finally it's come...the oil is increase for 40%, the electricity is increase and expected more to come.. and as usual, our govt. make these statements:
They said: Change your life style
They said: Among the cheapest in Asia
He said: I can't make everybody happy (who will be happy with this???!!!)

(By the way.... I draw that image. I wanted to make it a bloody bleeding text, but the effect is just not as what I expected.)
