   Are the sessions recorded so we can play them back later?

   Not sure networking is contrary to working remotely. Opportunities for networking online are far bigger than in-person.

    I actually had an offer in hand, and it was rescinded after I asked about PTO.

    But that offers no explanation why some are hired and some aren't.

    The reasons are rarely shared unsolicited. It's usually because I asked (no harm in that) or knew someone on the inside.

    The interviews have been on my blog for a year: http://stiglerdiet.com . I put up the dedicate site yesterday.

    I wouldn't be so fast. Lots of people want to be professors, way more people than there are viable jobs. Some of the interviews bring out that point.

    Exactly. That's why I put this together.

    I intentionally found interviewees to bring a variety of perspective. Some are very positive. Carl definitely brings the perspective you offer.

    I was hoping to provide something more nuanced with the website. For that, you could see my corresponding Twitter account: https://twitter.com/shouldyougetphd

    This is a huge. It's so easy to make mistakes doing those computations by hand, but Wolfram Alpha handles it with ease. I use it all the time.

    "It's a solved problem"? I'm not sure what that even means. There are algorithms for finding solutions, and if you have enough time and storage space, you can solve it. In any case, the problem more likely to be used in delivery is the VRP

    I contributed as well. My first Kickstarter project.

    I got hired for my current internship in the same sort of way. I loved the company, and emailed one of the VPs telling him how much I wanted to work for him. Probably doesn't work every time, but it's worth a shot.

    My school ( http://gcc.edu/ ) used C++ in intro classes (circa 2004).
