And being at Gates' mansion must have been a fascinating experience. It's also interesting that the author chose to work for Yahoo. He seemed to enjoy describing the other two companies a lot more. I wish he had discussed why Yahoo was the right fit for him. I mean, surely he didn't make a career choice because of an espresso bar -- or did he? As for me, I'm AWFULLY glad YOU are in Knoxville instead of Redmond or "Silicon Valley." It’s interesting to read how these different companies “feel” on the inside.

How sweet life would be! Too bad my niche wasn't programming/developing .... I know I'd never get hired at Microsoft... I'd never pass the network/config/hardware questions because there's the "Microsoft way" and then there's the "way that works" (which is usually pretty far off from MS way). ;) Oh, to work for a company with actual revenue!!!!
