The Problem 問(wèn)題

I do interesting, rewarding work at a tiny specialised consultancy. I like the hours and the people, but the pay is measly. I've been told I can rewrite my job description, although it wouldn't mean much more money. Instead, I could go for a bog-standard analyst position with a bank, with longer hours, but increase my salary by at least 50 per cent. What should I do?
我在一家小型專業(yè)咨詢公司，干著一份有趣也有價(jià)值的工作。我喜歡這里的工作時(shí)間和同事，但薪水非常微薄。有人告訴我，我可以修改我的工作描述，但這并不會(huì)意味著大幅漲工資。相反，我可以在銀行找一份初級(jí)分析師的工作，工作時(shí)間可能會(huì)加長(zhǎng)，但薪水至少能提高50%。我該怎么做？

THE ANSWER 回答

If I were you I'd stay put. The trouble is that I'm not you, but even taking that into account I'd urge you to stay put anyway.
如果我是你，我會(huì)按兵不動(dòng)。問(wèn)題是我不是你，但即便如此，我也希望你無(wú)論如何要按兵不動(dòng)。

There are two snags for you in analysing whether to move. You don't know how important job satisfaction is to you until you try living without it, and neither do you know how good or bad a new job might be. To move is to take a risk and for it to be wise, the odds must be compelling.
在分析你是否該換工作時(shí)，有兩方面的障礙。在你沒(méi)有試過(guò)失去工作滿足感的情況下，你不知道它對(duì)你有多重要，你也不知道新工作對(duì)你是好還是壞。換工作就是要承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，如果想明智地?fù)Q工作的話，成功的概率必須很大。

At about your age I did the same thing in reverse. I was earning a lot of money in the City, hated the job and spent much of my time crying in the loo. I swapped this for an uncertain job on a magazine on less than half the salary. Because my starting-point was so dismal, I reasoned the new position would be better. It was: much.
大約在你這個(gè)年紀(jì)時(shí)，我也做過(guò)同樣的事，不過(guò)方向恰恰相反。當(dāng)時(shí)我在倫敦金融城拿著高薪，但我憎恨這份工作，大多數(shù)時(shí)間都是在洗手間里哭鼻子。后來(lái)我在一家雜志換了一份不確定的工作，薪水少了一大半。由于我的出發(fā)點(diǎn)非常消沉，因此認(rèn)為新工作可能會(huì)更好。事實(shí)上的情況是：要好得多。
