Well dint know that as don't have skills to appear for "amazon interview". Anyways the context was companies which pay good package and services like TCS, Infy wont pay much. Hence made a reference to "amazon, cisco et al".

Ok here's my two cents. I worked for a bank just like you supporting mid range mainframes and even older version of apps - built back in 1980s. I moved out of it because it was a niche skill. Now what I gather from your description, the word you are looking for is "production support". There...

How did you even notice that. The whole duck like structure was enough to throw me off from anything else going on in the scenes :P There are many parallels to the movie really - OMG, K-Pax, Australian movie called "Alien Visitor". Unfortunately all our movie directors are bereft of any...

For sometime, I have been wondering why does Legolas looks older in a prequel. That said, The Hobbit: 4/10 -- I just hope, now he doesn't start making The Silmarillion into a book. It has 5 parts and each part stretched to 3 movies - 15 movies in total. He could very well be set for life.

Just echoing sentiment of a colleague belonging to Kashmir - many people in Kashmir think Indian government has betrayed them over the 370 article. The Indira-Abdullah pact was the final nail in the coffin. So they removed the "Prime Minister" of Kashmir and denigrated them to have "CM". The...

^^ Cute? hm...not with the surgery. Those lips just look too weird...an abomination :( Pk - 6/10 Anuskha Sharma's botched surgery , over the top messages from Hirani, Aamir Khan's over the top antics (really reminded me of Lassiter from Psych - thanks to @raksrules for mentioning somewhere in...

@djmykey I think the issue is because of a small percentage of population does something incorrect, then everyone should suffer. Given the "minority appeasement" in India, why shouldn't it hold true in companies too, is it? Even if in your opinion say 20 girls out of 5000 employees dress down...

Your CC kit will have a document as to what happens if you pay "minimum amount". That said its a very bad idea to do that. You get charged an interest + "finance charges" which could make you poorer by quite a lot.

The field is BI and the role is of consulting when you consider service based companies - Deloitte, Igate. Barclays and Akamai's role is about working on same project for the company instead of external clients. Does Igate have the same stupid rule of 9hrs in office like Infosys? @sabby -...

I'll go with @blkrb0t on this one - TCS for sure. I think many of us understand that not all managers are bad and given the average quality of hirees in a service based organisation, no manager would mean a "Lord of Flies" happening at the company soon. My last manager was a pretty awesome...

^ I am not sure what the definition of 'right type' for her would be? Wants relaxing and a challenging job, two diverging points. In any case, finally made up her mind about joining Akamai - the company sure looks good on paper and glassdoor, even if the salary bump is less. Anyone know abt the...

Nope, not into CDN/Distributed systems and thats where the problem lies. Still Akamai promises to provide a wider experience in the field, deloitte/igate will provide more consulting experience. Barclays will be a much more about relaxing job.

I think people tend to be more idealistic (not talking about rdst_1) when talking about retirement. We will move to a hill or to a town etc. Most of us will struggle a lot doing that considering the environment we have been in. I belong to a small town and have quite a lot of inherited...

^ This. People tend to underestimate this fact when living in cities. I have a friend working in Ariba (SAP arm) who travels 4hrs daily. He is totally exhausted with the commute itself.

I am helping out a friend and couldn't really think what to tell her :) So here's the problem, she has got multiple offers: 1. Akamai - She went through a lonnng series of interview (it would seem the company is famous for having longish interviews). Final offer CTC to CTC was 25%, there are...

I don't even know how people download so much stuff. My one and single download account shows 822GB over last 3 yrs. Most of the times, I stream the TV shows. Its not until I really like it that I end up downloading it.

I am bit confused about your query is so packing this one with as much info as I can (not a finance expert though): 1. In forex, the lowest denomination of exchange is called a pip and set to 1/100 of the lowest denominator. So Indian currencies lowest movement is 0.0001 (1/100th of a paise)...

So basically there have been two different cases of child being beaten over the past couple of days: http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/private-tutor-kicks-punches-and-hurls-three-yr-old-in-kolkata/article1-1243688.aspx...

Though there are no reasons for the mad scurrying, it might be fine. What I really don't understand are basic manners which don't really give you any advantage over anyone. Just like the cafeteria thing. I remember the 1yr party for our Indian HQ, the mad rush to get the saunf was so...

It seems you don't get the context or rather understand what I am trying to say. You used word "a northie friend" which in my view shows a bit (if not more) discrimination. I am certainly not talking about the situation where you guys discussed about the whole killing part etc. Frankly there was...
