Reading Time: < 1 minute The following is I saw from haiguinet, thanks to jlink for writing this post. Not surprisingly management and business skills are most valuable. ================================================== 再接再励： 在华外派，海龟 人员2005收入分析： 谢谢大家的鼓励。 看来大家兴趣不小。 16页的原点是零。每隔100，000USD。所以，TOP EXECUTIVE，港台EXPAT因为长期在 大陆经营，又没有文化，语言隔阂，所以以340，000USD拔下头筹。 跟在后面的310，000USD是除了忠诚度，和耍嘴皮外一无用处的老外。人家要自己人， 也是可以理解的。 (这两种人最容易被有经验的RETUNEE干掉。) 海龟混到第一把交椅的人在此落到最后面， 26，7万美元左右。同道相比，低是低 了一点，但比起留在国外赚那点毛钱还是人间天上了。(不知这数字真实性如何。姑 妄听之吧。) 注意，130个样本中TOP EXECUTIVE没有LOCAL HIRE。说明，整体上来说，LOCAL还是 没有成长起来，突破玻璃天花板。大体上还只能做到DIRECTOR一级(100，000USD) MANAGER位置上，海龟大有可为。几乎是处于LOCAL与WESTERNER之间。趋势是十分明 显的，JLINK称之 “外驱鞑虏，内压中土”。EXPAT (12万)，与国内“返聘”的老 外(9万)，迟早要被CHINESE所代替；而本土经理人与海龟，虽然都是CHINESE，也就 是万把块钱的DELTA，海龟毕竟有些质量和诚信保证。所以我们看到的是越来越多的 海龟，有经验的海龟！飞速进入中层。也许，明天的TOP EXECUTIVE就出在这批人中。 (海归论坛 www.haiguinet.com) 至于回国想做技术的(SPECIALIST)，可以看出这是没有前途的DEADEND JOB。2-3万

Reading Time: 2 minutes I got chance to watch some NBA games lately. I am not a big NBA fan because I don’t have cable at home and I felt it takes too much time (usually 2.5 hrs) to watch a game. I told my friends who are big NBA (Yao Ming) fans that I only need to watch

Reading Time: < 1 minute I got up this morning at 9 AM and was surprised to found out we had snow last night. Other than that, not too much excitement here in St. Louis. There are a few places open, notably Star Bucks and WalGreen (drug store). I can not go to my favorite Borders or St. Louis (Panera)

I am an ordinary guy who believes: by lifetime learning, hard and independent work and discipline, little guys can achieve their dreams, too. I grew up in China. Currently I am working

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s almost Christmas. Things started to calm down, especially in Post Office, the malls should be packed by last minute shoppers now. I received some emails and calls from old friends already. I have 4 days holiday for X’mas. Today (12/23) is the first day. When I was running some errands, I thought about the

Reading Time: < 1 minute Little kids can be fun. If you don’t have to deal with the diapers and crying stuff. Recently I spent some time with my 7 months old niece. And she was very sweet. Today I went to Fazoli for lunch. When I was leaving the retraunant, I saw a little girl probablly 2 years old.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Got my car back this morning. This time they called me at 8:20 AM and told me it’s ready. The noise problem was caused by an idle pulley used for A/C. Ironically when I was in Rolla I did research on the V-ribbed accessory belt drive. That pulley is a part of the accessory drive.

Reading Time: 2 minutes My car is making funny noise recently. So I made an appointment with a local Nissan dealership 9AM today, to take a look. The customer rep asked my phone numbers and the usual stuff. I gave them both my work number and mobile number (that turns out to be a mistake). He told me expect

Reading Time: < 1 minute I was pretty stressed out debugging a problem last two weeks. Luckily I saw the light at the end of the tunnel yesterday. I found out the cause: the tolerance of transform matrix. This is a tough problem because it appears to me the problem occurred without any pattern. But later on I realized out
