Job hunters face difficult dilemma in furthering their careers

To choose between privately-owned companies and long-established multinational ones is not an easy task for most job seekers.

Chen Yue, 43, with nearly two decades of experience as a sales specialist, has come across this dilemma twice in the past three years.

Chen quit her job as a sales director for a leading international internet company in Beijing after five years in 2014. She realized that her career path would be quite limited within this company. She left the company and joined a rising privately-owned online financial company in Shanghai at the beginning of 2015.
