2 news

Let's start with the bad news.

Sometimes things just reach a dead end even though you have invested much time and effort. I knew I already did the best I could and the end result doesn't matter to me, just like I never needed to check my results when I was in University. Honestly, I'm a little depressed because I was banking on this for so long but luckily it happened after my trip. Things just need to challenge your life and prepare you for the next stage, so thank you Alibaba for giving me the chance to hone my interviewing skills and giving me a view of what HR is looking for. At least I got into 2 rounds of interview. Sighs.

Dear Ernest,

Thank you very much for your application to the Alibaba Global Leadership.  We are grateful for your expressed interest our program. 
Your strong qualifications have caught the interest of the team and we appreciate the fact that you have spent the time to interview with us up to the 2nd round. 

As you may know, AGLA has a very limited number of spots, with a 1% final admission rate in the previous class. Hence, given the limited spots we have available in the program we unfortunately are not able to move forward with your application. 
Based on your impressive background, there is no doubt that you are highly qualified for many roles. We, therefore, will also keep your profile in our talent database, and will let you know if other opportunities arises within Alibaba that might match your background and expertise.

Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Kindest regards,
Alibaba AGLA Recruiting Team

The good news is...

I got my bonus today and it was higher than everyone else's, and definitely more than what I expected.  Plus, I'm the only one who got promoted in the last 2 years, with a good increment. However it's still not as high as I expected. Oh wells... so guess who's going to buy a $400 ski suit to celebrate?


Nobody.
Coz nobody ain't gonna spend my bonus on such expensive stuff. I'd rather buy 40 tubs of Ben & Jerry's.
