LOL.. No way! Just to be fair, whatever I put down here was NOT a story, but a true experience.. There was no romance whatsoever.. I've had only one love in my whole life. Poeple will be disappointed if they want to hear a love story.

Some times a simple ping and trace route will give you enough hints and you can just shout at it to the conference call.. The drafting of the WAN diagram and the IP scheme allocation did help though.. I was familiar with the network.

It looks like you did not get to know NYC life,then gave it up. In fact, there were a lot of houses with big lots (30miles away from city,i.e harrison,Mamaroneck ) with the price of 700-900K,which are as little higher as Toronto today.

I know a lot of wall street people like traders who live there and take train onto work everyday. the only drawback is that not many chinese live in the communities,which make most of Canadian-Chinese feel uncomfortable.
牛不牛不清楚,看LZ当年去美有点饥不择食的感觉,不管怎么说要谢谢LZ分享,以为他是在美国混不下去回来的,现在看来是根本没开始混就 gave it up.

explain how did you get promoted from B6 to B9 in 2 years? lier
I hope she would. Usually, she does not like reading my posts at all..I know why. Probably I did a bit too much 哗众取宠之事 and makes her ashamed. LOL.
-mikesmith(老猫);

Just curious. :-) Did you tell her your feelings towards home and her, and what you experienced in NYC in those days?
-mimier(mimier);

No, I did not tell her all the details.. Otherwise she would be wondering why I suddenly became so 酸 - I must have done something really really bad outside.. LOL.

in a big company, it was not totally up to one manager.

True. But still, for an exceptional employee, a manager would go out of the way to make it happen. Anyway, all is well now :)

You really don't know? or U look down them? If u reached your academic achievement by self-study, you could certainly look down them.

I only heard a ts graduate says he won't take in them even he has a chance because no one is smarter than ts student there.You are next one!
HA HA, what I am saying is there are tons of MIT, Harvard grads that are just like everyone else doing whatever wherever they make a living. Schools, research institutions, labs etc. are not the only places for them.

your post already mentioned why you went NY,because you were not happy there were not a promotion oppotunity for you.While u also well hinted you would like a sr. position if you were back to Toronto.
-linearvib(linearvib);
2010-10-7{174}(#6310200@0)
It does mean you do care about position/ salary beside your family reason. also you can not afford a house in NYC because you did not well investigate the house price there.
I will probably write a prequel about my experience with the city before 2004.
