What Are You Wishing For?

你希望的是什么？

A dream job could be one that takes you from here to retirement, or one that gives you a burst of learning and accomplishment and prepares you for the next thing. Some dream-job seekers are burnt-out on the frenetic pace and demands of the global business world and want to retreat to a quieter, slower corner of the marketplace. Others would be bored to tears if they weren't embroiled in a crisis at least once a day. Which type are you? 一份理想的工作也许能让你做一辈子，或者，让你学到很多东西，取得成就，让你为下一件事做好准备。有一些追求理想工作的人在快节奏和全球化商业的世界里疲惫不堪，希望隐退到一个比较安静、节奏较慢的角落。另一些人如果一天没有卷入一件危机事件，就会无聊地掉眼泪。你是那种类型?

Do you seek a dream job that will let you create your masterwork -- in code or in graphic design or even in energy bars? Or are you looking for a dream job that will allow you to teach younger people, or one that will allow you to experience cross-cultural knowledge-sharing with colleagues around the world? Is your fondest wish a job that will win you awards or allow you to create a personal brand? Or is it one that will let you be on the 5:57 train home five days a week? 你所追求的理想工作是否会让你在编码或平面设计，甚至是在高能棒领域出”大作“？或者这份工作能让你教育年轻人，还是让你能和来自世界各地的同事们分享跨文化知识的体验？你最向往一份能给你带来奖励的工作，还是一份帮助你建立个人品牌的工作？ 还是让你一周里天天都能赶5:57的列车回家的工作？

Finally, how important is salary? Would other forms of compensation, from time-off to business travel to your favorite location to tuition reimbursement, affect the equation? How do you define "well compensated" at this stage of your career, and how important is that to you? 最后，工资对你来说有多重要?其它形式的补贴，例如，休假或去你最喜爱地方出差的机会，或培训补贴，会影响你的标准吗？在你职业生涯的这一阶段，你对”充分补偿“是怎么理解的，它对你来说有多重要？(to be continued)
