When I was about to join Microsoft, I told some of my friends that this would be my last stop in my career spent working for others.

Because after that, I’ll had traversed corporate entities of different scales: startups from scratch, small businesses of dozens, mid-sized companies with and without stable cash, domestic and foreign giants in the industry.

I have much to share after resigning from Microsoft, but for now, the short story is that this foreign giant is very different from what I had imagined, in both positive and negative aspects.

Now that I had my curiosity fulfilled and experiences gained, I know they are only lopsided views, but no one will have them all.

Right now is the sweet spot for me to persue another goal of mine: working for myself.

I’m experimenting with this lifestyle to see if it suits me better.

The point is to do something I enjoy while contributing value to others, thereby earning the privilege of not having to do distasteful things solely for money.
