My advice to a friend at the crossroad where he had to make a decision for his career:
Choosing a workplace is like picking a girlfriend. You DON'T go for supermodels. You are better off looking for that person who crazes about you more.
Here is my reasoning: The firms that all dream to work for are like supermodels (and they care less about you, what you think, and how you feel). On the other hand, the firms that are less famous, and less stuck-up are usually the ones who care about you, offer you more, and compensate you nicely. Who wants to be treated as a second class citizen, for real?

An Odd Year of Presidential Election
To me, this year presidential election is stranger than others. No, I don't mean the race of the presidential candidate. And no, it is not about the sex of the candidate either. What I have noticed is the correct pronunciation of both vice president candidates' names - Biden and Palin.
Thanks to the everyday TV coverage on the campaign. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed myself by pronouncing Biden sounding like bidet toilet or bidone and Palin to rhyme like pal of Stalin. Let's be honest, a vice president may not be the most influential person, but I surely would not prefer my running mate associated with a bowl washing asses, or Stalin if I were pursuing the presidency. On a second thought, Stalin might love hockey, might be as tough as a pitbull, but a bidet is more useful - as least it keeps my rear end nice and clean.
