That is why I try to share some of my own experiences and some quotes from my reading to anyone who is experiencing a similar situation,\u201d Aaron says.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his articles like \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mr-stingy.com\/quit-job-for-meaning-social-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why I quit my high-flying job, said no to a six-figure USD promotion and went to work for a social enterprise<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mr-stingy.com\/how-i-paid-off-my-58k-education-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How I paid off my RM58K student loan\u2019<\/a> provide a refreshing and inspirational outlook, especially for millenials and fresh graduates. Aaron has also been featured on BFM.my, The Huffington Post and even Business Insider.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with CompareHero.my, Aaron shares his personal views on some of the real issues faced by millennials and provides potential solutions to enhance their career development and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8571 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/optimized-blogassets.comparehero.my\/blog\/my_MY\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/MY_BLOG_RedefineSuccess_1.jpg?resize=640%2C285&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"millennials\" width=\"640\" height=\"285\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Millennials need to find their purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some might say that materialistic gains such as a property, a fancy car, and lots of money in the bank account are key drivers for baby boomers and Gen X. However, things have evolved so rapidly that even the way of defining happiness and success has changed for millennials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMillennials do not know what they want to do with their life and their career.&nbsp; So questions like \u2018why am I doing this?\u2019 begin to pop up in their minds. They then get frightened by the unknown and this leads them to feeling stuck and with no solution in sight,\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTo match your life purpose to your career is idealistic, and in reality, is very hard to achieve. It\u2019s even more important, and more realistic, to focus our efforts on finding a good balance between these two. Don\u2019t suffer in your job, and don\u2019t sacrifice your life passions for work either,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aaron also values the importance of maintaining his personal health and nurturing healthy relationships, two vital aspects that help him achieve a happier life.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Companies need to understand millennials better<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many companies are still applying the traditional working hours of 9 to 5. But take a look around, and many of us are embarking towards a freelance or project-based model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaby boomers are fixed in their way of thinking compared with millennial prefer to work within their own schedules,\u201d Tang said.<\/p>\n<p>There definitely needs to be a level of compromise between the generation gaps. Both generations have their preferences in working style, and finding that sweet spot between the two is critical.<\/p>\n<p>When asked for his views on job hopping, Aaron says that it is solely a reflection of the job market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is not much incentive for you to stay in the same company when your salary increment is a tiny jump year on year, but when you job hop, the bigger salary increases you get makes it worthwhile and which is why many millennials find themselves doing so. It highlights the urgency for companies to focus on retaining talent. With the higher cost of living, why wouldn\u2019t you want to offer your staff a higher pay raise in order to keep your talent happy?\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a reminder that companies need to review their HR policies and assess working conditions if the turnover rate is high.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8572 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/optimized-blogassets.comparehero.my\/blog\/my_MY\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/MY_BLOG_RedefineSuccess_2.jpg?resize=640%2C285&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"millennials\" width=\"640\" height=\"285\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The right attitude will bring you far! <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The right mindset and attitude will bring fresh graduates and millennials further in life. We have often heard many complaints that fresh graduates either don\u2019t have the technical skills required or they continue to make unrealistic salary demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have to prove themselves worthy of such a high salary demand. The people that I meet have high expectations but by and large, they have common sense too. Maybe all they lack is guidance in terms of nailing an interview, or how to develop the right attitude for work and things to watch out in the workplace,\u201d Aaron elaborates.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cPeople need heroes for inspiration.\u201d \u2013 Aaron Tang.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Proactive and critical thinking are two skills that are often missing from our local talent in general, according to Aaron. It is alarming that we currently have a high unemployment rate among our youth in the country, however, Aaron believes that the media and community can play a positive role by providing the tools and inspiration of positive role models.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials have very high expectations without taking into consideration the time and effort required to invest before they start reaping the fruits of their labour. It is all about instant gratification for the younger generations, and that means they don\u2019t have the patience to see things through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are just starting out in your own business or at a corporate job, do not kill yourself with too high expectations of yourself, and gives yourself time to explore and figure things out,\u201d Aaron suggests.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Money management still a huge concern <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Money management in general is still a worry with many who are still ill equipped to handle their own personal finances. This results in the high level of debt millennials find themselves in, the fact that we don\u2019t have enough money set aside for emergency savings, and the fact that many retirees do not have enough retirement funds to survive.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to blame the government or organisations for this, but we each have a responsibility to be open to learn about financial management.
