It has been awhile since I posted on Steemit. Gonna pace up! Lately, had OT until ten something and it is too tiring for me to write.
好久没PO文了，真的要加把劲。最近都加班到十点多，实在是写不来啊！
Here is my second post of sharing for attending the MaGIC Academy Symposium 2017 - Disruptive Entrepreneurship last Saturday. I know that this is a bit late to share (already 4 days ago) but I wrote this bit by bit as energy is limited.
这个是我上个拜六 MaGIC Academy Symposium 2017 - Disruptive Entrepreneurship 的第二个分享。我知道这有点迟了（四天了）但我是每天一点一点累积写出来的。
For a young graduate, it is always a dilemma to choose between big corporate and small startup. Yes, I totally agree with the statement as myself also went through the process and made the decision to start with a small startup.
刚毕业的我们都会有就业选择的纠结，那就是到底要选大企业还是创业公司。我非常赞同因为我自己也是经历了这个阶段，而也决定加入了创业公司。
STARTUP 创业公司
Startups are usually flat structure whereby it is easier to learn and get our hands dirty. It is important to learn hands on as this is what it takes to build something from scratch. To think that without getting hands dirty, doing all the petty jobs, a startup will be just a dream. Plus, it is normal that all the people within a startup, including the founders, the co-founders, the employees to wear many hats. This is to maximize the production output while staying lean. Bootstrapping is the key of survival and to live under our means is the starting life for startup.
创业公司都是扁平的所以比较容易学习和亲自动手做。亲手动工其实对学习创业是极为重要的。如果不想亲自动手，不想做杂工，要创业是根本不可能。除此，在创业公司，不管你是创办人，伙伴还是员工都得分身扮演各种角色。这是为了以最低的输出，提高产量。能在有限资源的状况下生存并保持节俭，就是创业得有的精神。
In terms benefits, the good thing about startup’s flat structure is that I can directly learn from the boss or managerial level people. With a single leap, I can become the leading figure as well. While in corporate, it is impossible to achieve such leap and learning curve.
在创业公司扁平，我可以直接接触上司和主管并向他们学习。晋升机会也因此更加容易。在大企业，这种情况的发生概率几乎为零。
BIG CORPORATE 大企业
Starting with big corporate, you have attractive package benefits and remuneration. But this may lead us to a comfort zone where we may no longer have the passion to push ourselves further. Nevertheless, to some others, it may be a boost for them to kickstart their own startup after a few years in the corporate. 加入大企业，将可以获得很好的福利配套和工资。但是，这可能让我们进入舒适区而失去斗志。凡是都有例外，一些在大企业待了几年后，就储存足够的资源来创业。
Unfortunately, the misconception being in big corporate is that we can never learn more stuff. However, this is not entirely true as this relates back to the self-initiative that was mentioned by all the speakers. The leaders (managers and bosses) are not able to know what to teach, but it is up to us to ask. In addition to that, the corporate are always at the look up for ‘intrapreneur’ which those entrepreneurial people that work within the corporate. They are the ones who can drive innovation for the company. Besides that, the speaker also highlighted that what we learnt from the corporate will always be an asset when we know how to utilize it.
很可惜，很多人都有在大企业学不到东西的误解。这个现象其实每一位主讲者都提起得有自主性。老板，高管等人物其实不知道要怎么帮助和教导我们。其实，我们得主动询问。再加上，大企业都一直在寻找公司内部的“创业家”。这些人将可以代领公司添加竞争力。除此，主讲者也提到我们在大企业所学到的，都可以变成个人资产并学习如何善用。
In corporate, we will think that it is hard to learn and hard to get promoted as there are too many structures. Corporate has no choice to create structure so that it can manage thousands of people. Unfortunately, the structure itself cause the corporate to be slow and rigid. Thus, corporate now are considering agile startup to extend their development to the edges. So, this could a great chance for those entrepreneurs to aim for this opportunity. Either to get invest or to get an exit by selling the startup to the corporate.
在大企，我们总觉得会很难学习和晋升岗位因为有太多的企业结构。大企本身必须得依靠这些系统才得以管理上千人。现在的大企其实都在寻找敏捷的创业公司来扩张他们的影响力。不幸的是，这也让大企变成反应慢和死板。因为如此，现在的大企都在瞄准敏捷的创业公司来扩展他们的影响力。所以，现在可能是创业家的最佳时机，通过此机会来向大企融资或把公司转卖给他们。
No matter which one we choose, there is no right or wrong to join either of them. It depends on our situation:
不管我们选择了什么，其实是没有对和错的。就只是依据当时的情形：
Financial security
whether you can sustain yourself if going to a startup. One cannot expect high salary from a startup. Some of us, even like me would prefer a layer of foundation (backup cash) to be used in contingency. Without that sum of money, it will be like going out naked. On the other hand, some of us would not be that worry on the financial security, either they can live below their means while others may have financial support from others.
财务上的安全感
到底我能不能在加入创业公司后能自力更生。在创业公司，就不可能获得高回酬。有些人，也包括我自己觉得自己先开始储存储备金来应急。没有这笔钱，总觉得像赤裸裸地活着。另外，有些人却没有财务之忧，可能他们真的很能吃苦并有着其他人的经济支持。
Direction
it is important to know what you want to do before going for a startup. It is not wise to pursue entrepreneurial path just to follow the trend. There was a question that mentioned about wanting to startup but had yet to think what to start. It is more advisable to know what to do then only pursue entrepreneurship by taking up the challenge ourselves.
方向
在创业前必须得搞清楚要做什么。不要为了跟风才去创业，这样其实是不明智的。还记得在场有人问到他想创业但是还未知道要创什么业。在这里，就奉劝大家想好了想做什么才踏上创业之路。
As mentioned by Richard Ker, his dream is to build and own a company. However, the path he took is going to big corporate then only to his recent startup, Airshoppr. Along the way, he picked up different skills, knowledge and most importantly the network. It is very hard to find the right co-founder to start up something and to stay committed. While for Kimberly Wan, her corporate experience was less than Richard’s as she started her startup after a year plus graduating from university. She also found her interest and lucky to meet her co-founder that led to the establishment of Otomate Me.
Richard Ker是其中一位分享嘉宾，他的愿望就是建造和拥有一间公司。但，他是从加入企业后并在最近才创业。在他身在企业中的时候，他获得了不同的技能，知识和最重要的人脉。他说道，找到对的合伙人并能一起坚持付出是非常困难的事。至于Kimberly Wan，她毕业不到一年半后就创业了。她也找到了她的兴趣又幸运地遇到能和她一同打拼的合伙人。
