You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
昨日のシーシャでの続き。
Today’s topic is about a conversation I had yesterday with a former colleague.
先輩との会話で、転職することを聞いた。なんでも勤めている会社の自部門である海外事業部が解体されてしまうのだという。それなら、たしかに会社に残る理由はないし、無くなる前に次に移りたい。
He mentioned that he is planning to change jobs. During our chat, he shared with me that the overseas department in his company will soon be shut down. If that’s the case, I think it makes sense for him to leave, as there wouldn’t be any reason to stay. If I were in his shoes, I would make the same decision.
それと、国境なき医師団は、家族帯同での赴任ができる可能性があることを聞いた。これはとても興味深い。
Additionally, he told me something interesting: Doctors Without Borders has a system that allows staff to be transferred to assignments abroad with their families. I found this particularly appealing.
いくかどうかは赴任先によるので自分たちが決めることになるが、そもそもそんな制度がなければ話にならない。これでさらにモチベーションがアップ。
The ability to choose whether to bring my family to an overseas assignment is important, and it’s even more crucial that such a system actually exists in the organization. This new information has made me even more motivated.
とはいえ、海外で生活するには、日本でのそれ以上にお金がかかるので、しっかり配当金を増やしていきたい。やはり、総資産よりも配当金が大事。まずは、配当金を増やすことに注力する。
However, living overseas tends to be more expensive than living in Japan, so I’m focusing on increasing my dividend income. In other words, having a reliable stream of dividend income is more important to me than just building up my total assets. I’m going to prioritize growing my dividends.
To be continued.
