What's up USA?!

Hmmmm, so I got an offer from MS! No, no, no, let me back up, it is actually two offers - one for Product Planner and another Product Manager. I know how tough for an international student to find a job in USA this year. The MBA job market shrinks so much. I think I was lucky. The better thing is that the offer comes with pretty good package -- base salary is a little bit lower than McK offer, but the signing bonus is bigger, the relocation package is huge, and there is a stock option. To make it even better, there are more than 10 Duke alumni emailing me to congratulate me. I feel the warm MS Fuqua family even before I start.

So, here comes the tough part -- say NO to McKinsey. Most people think I am crazy to turn down McK offer, especially this year. But believe me, I know what I am doing. The worst thing is to tell NO to Kevin, Enrico, Bolette, Elena, Eli, and everybody who helped me tremendously in my journey from Duke to McK. I had a great summer there. But staying in US and working for high tech is a better choice for me after graduation. I do hope to keep relationship with all those fantastic people.

This is the second to last week in 2008 Fall term. I can't believe how fast time goes. So, what I am doing? I just finished "Slam" today. It is a great book, about how a boy became a kind of responsible man and continue to live his life after getting a girl pregnant at the age of 16. (Just like his mother did!!!) I started to read "Ender's Game". Hope I will enjoy it. My running??? It is not that good right now. I am kind of loose on it. Let me try to get back to training schedule, starting from running tomorrow morning. Also, I should stick to my "push up" plan. 

All right, that's pretty much it. Peace out!
