Last days in the big apple


"How would you like to go to Singapore?" my CFO asked. I've been working in New York for six years now and comfortable enough to consider myself a New Yorker. I've seen it at its worst moments on 9/11, endured the hard times of starting a career in the midst of the dot.com burst and a full blown recession. But also seeing it roaring right back stronger than ever, as I found footing in wall street, the back bone of this great city. Would I leave? It didn't take me long to answer though. The chance of working in one of the most dynamic regions of the world prompt me to say yes. So one chapter of my life closes, and a new one begins.
