7/30    I need a job too.  http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~aspolito/res3.txt
        \_ Drop all the pre-graduation crap.  Also, "company ran out of
           money"?!  That doesn't make you look like a genius since you
           joined a dying company.  Objective is silly.  Just say, "Looking
           for XXXXXX position at small startup company".
           \_ Um, what's wrong with pre-graduation achievement?
                \_ Nothing in particular but it shows lack of experience to
                   put pre-grad stuff on.  Unless your academic work was
                   something really stellar, it only highlights lack of
                   industry experience.
           \_ objectives suck.  The company ran out of money is there because
              I've been asked way to many times "Why are you leaving Spheresoft
              so soon?"  It looks bad that I didn't even last a year.  Oh
              people do join companies that die soon after.  It happens.
              To smart people even.  I joined right when they peaked.  (They
              were doing real well, added 4 people (which was a third of the
              company) and were trying to do sometihng new.  They gambled
              and lost.  So did I.  Oh and umm, some of that "pre-graduation
              crap" is pretty important.  -aspo
                \_ Ok, whatever.  I'm sure you're perfectly right about all
                           \_ if you need to ask, you don't know
                           \_ yer mom
                   of everything at all times and don't need advice.
                   \_ As someone who has hired many people based on their
                      resumes, for the field aspolito is in, I will say
                      that aspolito is correct.  -blojo
                        \_ What field is that?  Palm Pilot app coder?
                          \_ yes, let's call "embedded software developers"
                             palm pilot coders.
                             \_ Proof is in the pudding, baby.  Why can't
                                he get a job?
                                \_ Because he's in new york.
                                \_ cause I just started looking and I'm already
                                   getting offers at places in New York for
                                   places that I would like to work at if I
                                   don't relocate so if I want to move back to
                                   the BA I gotta start looking fast. -aspo
                                   \_ Stay in NY.  We'll all be happier that
                                      way.

4/23    Suppose you used to work at Awesome Corp that got acquired by
        Monsanto Corp. You're embarrassed about it and people now hate
        you by association. Should you put Monsanto on your resume? Or
        is it better to leave it out completely?

        \_ I love management and PMs, the more the better.
           \_ In my company the ratio of product managers to developers is
              about 1 to 5.  I heard that at Microsoft it's about 1 to 1.

3/1     Can someone explain to me why Groupon is a tech company?
        \_ It's similar to how Amazon and eBay are tech companies.
           \_ Amazon and eBay are *NOW* tech companies, they didn't
              start that way. Groupon started off as a marketing
              company, and their "technology" isn't getting any better
              than a bigger and bigger opt-in email spam system.

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your
        options, not the percentages:
        http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/11/employee-equity-how-much.html
        \_ Or at least, so says a VC trying increase his profit margin...
        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.
