I worked at Sun Microsystems for a while and their private office layout was really nice. I can't ballpark the exact size but the office could hold 3 gigantic CRT monitors, 2 desk phones, and had space for 2 visitors. I feel that a 2 p

Don’t Presume on an Acquaintance I really like this advice. You dance and you leave. No phone number exchange, no text messages, no selfies, no follow ups.

I do second your recommendation. Even going on a sales call exposes you to highly stressful scenarios under which you cannot buckle but you cannot explode either. This skill helps you in all walks of life, managing a team and even managing

Yep it's way better to have kids drink milk than sodas and even bottled fruit juices.

Quite honestly, I question the need to drink milk. I think it's another marketing gimmick that pushes parents to feed kids with milk. I'm yet to come across a toddler/kid who actually loves drinking milk. Most of them hate it

I can attest to this. A good dev in India with 10 years exp will cost about 40 lakhs - about $60K. You gotta keep in mind the ridiculous inflation in India and the rest of the developing world. So in like 2 years you could be paying at leas
