10/2020 (kick off)

2020 is a special year to me, like the startup year of BMW, Coca-Cola, IBM...

It takes me almost a month to reset or set up my home utilities, like docs, macs, cars, bills, (social)networks, relatives...

After all these work done, I find it Wuhan may not be as bad as I thought.

• 'cus in china, there is little discrimination of district by the form of account (地域-户口保护政策), I mean u could see many resources or welfares leaning to the locals(the lcoal citizen), which I met many times when I was in Shanghai(上漂)
• No judgement or Criticism or Comment on this, I just express what I have experienced

And since I am not very short of money and lack of time (I don't have rent to pay, family to feed), I need think where am I gonna start from, carefully:

• Freelancer of outsourcing
• Or Employee of local company
• Or Parents' business

Q1: which business

According to the report of gov.'s investment:

Except for the mining industry, IT & Software is still a good choice.

Q2: freelancer or employee

Since the standard of the average income is quite low than I surveyed before, I need rethink it.

One small Item&Project for a freelancer is 50$ ~ 300$ Consuming not more than 5 days at this very beginning, which is higher than the salary of Wuhan where I can get now.

But one of the another stuff that I need take into consideration is Social Insurance.

• There are typically two kinds of insurances for ordinary/normal citizen...
• If u are not at high income level, then freelancer would not be a good choice

I set myself a standard of choices:

• Beyond 50$ per hour (or 40,000 per month), freelancer or boss
• Other situation: be an employee, stay hungry, stay foolish

Q3: developer or manager?

It depends ? No.

Step confirmly towards manager position under no compromise like salary, interst and any other stuff.

• Dynamic adjust, but the path/destination is oriented to manager, not cio, ceo and other job

Many thks to 《Horse Sense ...》Al Ries, Jack Trout.

I am moving now.

09/2020 (prepare for less)

Finally, I made my decision to go hometown(wuhan, just keep quiet and rest for a while) and live in my own house, to prepare my life and career for the extra time of life.

I send a lot of stuff home so that i can be more swift.

Imagine that there is a good team/group which invites you to enjoy them, what kindle of identity u gonna present urself ?

...

That's what I need prepare this month.

What does Less stand for ?

See my Blog: Running.

2020/08 (decision need)

stay or leave, that's a question

The first few days of this month I do not hesitate anymore, stay or leave, must be done at this month. After I think from top to bottom, from now to future and compare risk and return, I made myself a decision:

• Try my best to stay, but if it fails then leave quickly to adjust to new style life of my hometown.

Do u still remember the f**king reason why u are here? I do.(update at 2020/08/06)

07/2020 (parents require)

I start raising an orange cat which always eats too much as he is only 6 months old.

I start using english for my outputs(posts) including coding comments/annotations. And I was required to be a young boss of small tranditional business in a second level city(wuhan) with a trivial, idle living style:

• driving bmw x30i for a certain family conference which I dislike
• earn a work-life balanced life when i have more energy to consume
• associate with a woman who is not too talented in my mind

But the price is high, I am struggling to break through, carefully.

06/2020 (shutdown my site)

Attention: Text of this part is out of date.

和已经单干的前辈(家里关系)以及在国内知名大型互联网公司迷茫的后辈，在武汉结婚生子的同龄人交流，发现普遍还是迷茫:

• 在单位，开发的话语权不重，上升通道只是个形式 --- 凤毛菱角的头部班子没有代表性
• 单干的风险太大，收入也未知 (饱的饱死，饿的饿死)

(单干的朋友则更多的是大起大落，往外面撒一笔钱，再捞一笔，期间风雨坎坷)

(家里长辈的话)30年前我也没有想过今天的收入，只知道虚心多学，多向别人请教。

前怕狼后怕虎的，徒增焦虑。
