Like many of you interviewing caused me a GREAT amount of anxiety. To address that I found an author who had extensive list of possible interview questions. Reading that helped me to feel I could answer and greatly improved my interview re

When you first arrive, look around the room, to get a scope of what is where and what (in a general sense) groups there are. Find people to talk with. Many groups are not pre defined, and are more random. A group of 2 stay away from, as t

This is a VERY clear sign your days there are numbered. Remember you will often loss 15 to 30 percent if you let them fire you verses finding a new job. The groups merging is like a corporate merge, or buy out. The people bought out are a

Interesting point, I am very against voting for my wallet and vote for what is right. Although it is interesting to see who all the rich and famous support. Sadly though intellectual honesty is much more rare than you think.

Depends on your need. In general I would say if it has 16G memory then yes. Or can be upgraded to 16G. Likewise on the video card, depends on how Graphic intense. But some, not many, laptops you can change the video card. So a i7 cpu t
