For the past two years I did translation for a big chinese MMO studio. I worked 9 to 6 everyday like a good ant should. I quit and will now focus on odd-jobs and personal development including but not limited to SC training, web design, and liaison work between China and the US. I might even go watch the OSL finals in Seoul! Tickets are cheap (~$70 roudtrip beijing to seoul).
there is a saying in chinese :

树挪死 人挪活
If you move a tree it dies. If you move a man he lives.

Man I guess I know which studio you were working at.

Sure about the Seoul trip? I'm planning it as well.

Quitting your job is quite a big decision and it seems as though you're pretty confident in your decision. I hope this works out best for you.

wow, three posts and no flames.. thanks for the encouragement fellas.
i worked for a company that was not as "perfect" as I thought.
Any corporate job is gonna start to eat away at your soul... if you have one.
I don't want to be a CEO much less middle management. The work became dull and uninspiring as soon as quantity took priority over quality. Basically, I am a romantic (as my work mate put it).

Haha, I was almost there. Getting an offer from it one year ago, but I refused b/c I don't want to live in Beijing.

-edit, send you a PM ;P

If you move a tree it dies. If you move a man he lives. If you move a man to move a tree to where a tree died, you have My Sassy Girl.

Aside: That's a fucking awesome quote.

Yeah, go and see the world. Life is short, make the most of it. I'm curious, 70 bucks for a roundtrip. By sea I'm guessing?

I am sooo envious. Here in the US, if you quit your job, you're basically sending yourself out into the street. It's hard enough to keep yourself from getting laid off...):

You are right. My wage is close to that but Chinese dudes in their mid 20s don't earn 1000 RMB per DAY (Not saying he doesn't but comparing to most of dudes in china >.<) you get my point.
