How is Zuckerburg a "soft" CEO? Who else do you consider "soft" and why? You have to remember that nowadays with ubiquitous social media, CEOs have to be extremely careful about how they act. It's possible Steve Jobs may have been an anomal

This may sound odd but it worked for me: Rearrange the room you work in. Spend a day cleaning and rearranging the furniture of your room. I moved my desk from facing a wall to facing outdoors and the small change in scenery helped me be mor

If possible collect the representatives' business cards. I know of situations where people did not get interviews initially, but contacted the representatives afterwards and managed to get an interview slot. It seems hard, but you may end u

No. Many of the Steve Jobs stories are actually not saying the same thing. Steven influenced so many different industries that reading about all these different perspectives on one man is both humbling and awe-inspiring. I am sorry you feel

This is the one thing I'll agree about with grades: they do reflect work ethic. But sometimes, it really is hard to get motivated about subjects that seemingly have no bearing on one's future.

Honestly it depends on what you want to do If you are looking to go into the non-CS corporate world, grades matter a lot. This is primarily how companies will screen applicants. However, based on my personal experience, my grades weren't st

I think the projects' goals are fairly trivial but the mechanisms behind the suggested projects are excellent learning tools, especially when you can get professor/peer feedback. But if you think you can somehow improve or expand upon the s

Freelancing is not a bad idea, but many developers tell me they inevitably spend more time than they want to on others' projects. Money is pretty good though. I don't know how much you need to survive, but do something non-coding related to
