Currently.
Into my 5th month ever since I stepped into a banking sales career. Started running for actual sales figures this Jan and I realized how tiring and mentally-shagged it can be. I work an average of 12 hours per day, having meetings/seminars/trainings/telesales almost every day, shuttling to and fro Shenton Way and Yishun after work. If I don't drive - I would have been dead by now.
Gave up almost all my social life, being unable to commit into any dinner/drinking appts after work. Cos work and studies come first for me, at this pt of time now. I haven't stepped into the cinema for ages. I haven't went blading for months. I haven't really went on a shopping spree, or a good ktv session. I haven't let myself loose and drank on clubbing nights like how I used to. I haven't nua-ed at home totally for 1 full day cos my sundays were all used up to study and revise for exams.
Three words. Simply no life.
It's a huge sacrifice that I've made. But I can't see the returns in monetary sense at all. The comm structure suxx way big time. It's just a pathetic $300-400 per quarter if you hit your targets for each quarter. Where's the motivation? It's to siam all the roadshows by hitting your interim targets so that you don't need to work on sundays. Yes, I have worked on sundays, meaning, I have worked consecutively for 14 days before.
Then I feel sick. Visited the doctor thrice in 2 weeks. When the doc wanted to give me 2 days mc, I rejected him. "give me also no use.. I'll still have to go back to work.."
Did I make the right choice? In the exchange for doing what I wanted, I gave up my social life...
These are not all. Family issues are another huge headache in my life. I wish I can just shout out (to someone, if there was any...) 好累阿...
