你職業生涯中最明智的一個決定是什麼？

After moving out of college as a fresh engineering graduate, I got cheated by a fake software company. I had paid 30k to get that fake job! :( The worst part was my mother had sold her anklets to arrange that money. In fact she was very happy to give me the money as she believed that I became a software engineer(She never went to school).

我大學畢業以後還是個工科新畢業生時被一家假軟件公司騙了，我爲這份假工作花了三萬！最糟糕的是我媽媽爲了籌錢把她的腳鐲賣了。給我這筆錢她真的很開心，她以爲我當上了軟件工程師（她沒上過學）。

I couldn't share this story with my mother and joined an international BPO in bangalore to earn bread and butter and worked here for 6 months. I didn't tell my mother that I lost money and joined a BPO as I didn't want to break her heart. I lied to her that I'm doing good at my work. 15k was my monthly salary in BPO and I was in my comfort zone. Also I had already lost all hopes in software job.

這件事我不能跟媽媽說，我進了班加羅爾一家國際外包公司以維持生計，在那兒工作了6個月。我沒有告訴媽媽我損失了錢還進了一家外包公司，因爲我不想讓她傷心,我騙她說工作做得很好。在外包公司我月薪1萬5，一切都很好，而且我已經對軟件工作不抱任何希望了。

At that point of time, one of my college friends told me about this small start up software company located in Yelahanka. I visited this start up the next day itself and agreed for below terms and conditions:

就在這時，我一個大學時的朋友跟我說了這家位於Yelahanka新開的小軟件公司。第二天我去這家新開的公司實地考察，同意了以下條款和條件：

●No salary for 3 months

●前3個月零工資

●You will be paid 5k INR as salary after 3 months

●3個月後工資5千盧比

●1.5 years bond

●一年半的債券

I grabbed this opportunity without any second thought. I started working as a software developer. As my performance was good, after 6 months I was offered 20k INR per month(it was huge for me) and was sent to a client location to work.

我毫不猶豫地抓住了這個機會，當上了一名軟件開發員。由於工作出色，6個月後我月薪漲到2萬（對我來說工資太高了），我被派到一個客戶業務區工作。

Fast forward 3 years, I’m working in one of the big IT giants in the world and 58k INR is my take home.

三年很快過去了，我現在就職於一家世界IT巨頭公司，稅後月薪5萬8。

Finally I made it! I made her dream come true. I never shared this story with her till now. And yes! I gifted her new pair of anklets and bangles too also I have started construction of new house in my village. She is super happy now.

最終我做到了！我實現了她的夢想，但直到現在都沒跟她坦白。是的！我送給她一對新腳鐲和手鐲，也開始在村裏蓋新房，她現在特別開心。

Coming out of my comfort zone and joining the start up without considering the salary, company reputation and other benefits was my best career decision :)

從安逸中走出來，絲毫沒考慮工資、公司名聲和其他好處就加入這家新開的公司就是我最好的職業決定。
