What Are You Wishing For?

你希望的是什么？

A dream job could be one that takes you from here to retirement¹, or one that gives you a burst of learning and accomplishment² 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 embroiled³ 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 graphic⁴ 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 reimbursement⁵, affect the equation? How do you define "well compensated⁶" 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？
