might labor regulations have something to do with this? German corps might have an incentive to keep him working while he looks for a job rather than having to pay some kind of severance/unemployment? I never really understood the rationale

If you go to a top ten school in your field and have a prestigious advisor with some weight behind their recommendations then you'll be fine. The problem is that every school wants to hand out graduate degrees. If you're getting your phd in

From the WSJ article: "'It's sad,' says Mr. Crane, who had been earning about $28 per hour at Delco, before overtime." He could get to $100k relatively easily with a 60 hour work week which is perfectly reasonable. $28x2000 + $28x1.5x1000 g

$1 million after being top 5 app for 3 months? Urrgh. There's either 2 or 4 (two founders + two employees?) so $250k in revenue for a year's work isn't exactly huge. It's a big win I'm sure for Occipital--a million dollars is a million doll
