    Well if you resigned then why are you surprised at not having a job? You did say OMG. I find that if you resign, you tend to be out of a job, and to do it for a girl is a bit dim. "Hi honey, I love you so much I want to drag you into penury and the workhouse".

    This assumes she wanted him to quit or did he decide to make a grand gesture?

      Apply to the big boys immediately: Microsoft vacancies in Shanghai[^]. [edit] I'll probably be in Shanghai, in October, so we can say Hi.

      Note he did not reply again ? I suspect this was a troll.

        Possibly. His posting history is a tad sparse, so it's hard to tell. The switch from "I was fired" to "I quit" certainly looks suspect. Shanghai women can be hard to discuss things with, though (I ought to know; I married one!), and his best English for "I had to give up" might be "I lost", so I'll watch with reasonable interest what the next moves will be.

            We ended up shipping a guy from Singapore to Shanghai recently because we could not get a reasonable hire in Shanghai. English was a requirement. You do lose the sympathy vote if you resign.

            Unbelievable, isn't it? The population of Shanghai is higher than the population of the entire Netherlands, but there are so many foreign companies there that anyone half decent gets snapped up immediately.

              CinCin is Chinese, in China. Bit tricky for him to get a job in London; the commute would be a killer.

              Not to mention there's no tube service from London to Shanghai!

              There are some really weird people on this planet - MIM.

                  Try something different, far too many people getting into the game and the salaries and kudos are not as good as they used to be.

                  I could use a raise.

                  Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost
