Silicon or Bio Valley

Oh well, I set out to go Silicon Valley, but I might end up in BioValley in the end. I think I have kind of decided that it would be the company that's more important than the place itself. I suppose it might be a little disappointing that I am moving away from somewhere I thought I would be. But I am not, I think its because of the exciting companies in Bio Valley. I think that's where the companies that I want to work for are. Silicon Valley has mainly IT firms, and I guess it is really a mismatch of skills and jobs available. Oh well, As I told Iris initially that it is not necessarily a bad thing to go to BV. The only bad thing about it is the feeling of having to allow the Bio Valley people accept you. They are all nice people, and I think I know a couple of them there, so it should be easy for me to integrate. It is therefore more critical for a great company rather than the big name itself. And perhaps the fact that coming back for Startup Singapore would be a great idea, especially with the great track record of the best BV participants. That's my secondary aim I think. Looking at the big picture, I think it is time that I move into the area of Biomedical. Mechanical itself is a dying industry in my opinion. Not that they dun need mech engineers anymore, but the number that they need are much lesser. It is therefore critical I move into a area where I can specialise and do well in.

Wish me all the best. A great company and a great year ahead.

Wish all the NUS/NTU guys all the best too for their exams. Hope you guys do really well. Harhar.
