   Google had no business units

  Google就没有业务部
  so what was there to generally manage?
  那要我去总管什么呢?
  And the job was several levels lower
  何况那职位
  than jobs I was being offered at other companies
  比我在其他公司得到的offers都要低好几级
  So I sat down with Eric Schmidt
  后来我和当时刚刚上任的CEO
  who had just become the CEO
  艾里克·施密特见了面
  and I showed him the spreadsheet and I said
  我给他看了我的列表 我说
  this job meets none of my criteria
  这份工作完全不合我的选择标准
  He put his hand on my spreadsheet and he looked at me and said
  他用手按住我的表格 看着我说
  Don't be an idiot
  不要犯傻
  Excellent career advice
  极佳的职业忠告
  And then he said, Get on a rocket ship
  然后他说 重要的是坐上火箭
  When companies are growing quickly and having a lot of impact
  当公司在飞速发展而产生很大影响力时
  careers take care of themselves
  事业自然也会突飞猛进
  And when companies aren't growing quickly
  当公司发展较慢时
  or their missions don't matter as much
  或者公司前景一般时
  that's when stagnation and politics come in
  停滞和办公室政治就会出现
  If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship
  如果你得到了坐上火箭的机会
  don't ask what seat. Just get on
  别管是什么位置 上去就行
  About six and one-half years later
  大概六年半之后
  when I was leaving Google
  当我要离开Google的时候
  I took that advice to heart
  我记住了这句忠告
  I was offered CEO jobs at a bunch of companies
  当时好几家公司请我去做CEO
  but I went to Facebook as COO
  但是我去了Facebook做COO(首席运营官)
  At the time people said
  那时有人问你
  why are you going to work for a 23-year-old?
  为什么要去给一个23岁的年轻人打工?
  The traditional metaphor for careers is a ladder
  职业发展通常会被比作爬阶梯
  but I no longer think that metaphor holds
  但我认为这个比喻不再恰当了
  It just doesn't make sense
  在越来越扁平的世界里
  in a less hierarchical world
  这种说法是没有意义的
  When I was first at Facebook
  我刚到Facebook的时候
  a woman named Lori Goler, a 1997 graduate of HBS
  97届HBS的校友Lori Goler
  was working in marketing at eBay
  还在eBay做市场营销
  and I knew her kind of socially
  我和认识了她 并且知道她善于交际
  She called me and she said
  她打电话给我说
  I want to think about you know talk with you
  我想和你谈谈
  about coming to work with you at Facebook
  到Facebook和你一起工作的事
  So I thought about calling you
  我想到给你打电话
  and telling you all the things I'm good at and all the things I like to do
  和你说我有哪些特长以及我想做的事情
  But I figured that everyone is doing that
  但我知道所有人都会这样说
