Pay, Stock & Benefits: Flexibility
“You don’t know what you don’t know.” I’ve always liked that saying. I suppose I like it because it reminds me of how little I DO know. The past couple weeks, however, have been a case study of knowing something I didn’t know and being pretty glad about something I already did know. Let me explain. I learned four weeks...

My inspired experience at the Society of Women Engineers conference
In one of her many speaking appearances at this year's national conference, past Society of Women Engineers (SWE) president Michelle Tortolanisaid something to the effect of "no matter how many times you go, there's nothing quite like a SWE conference to inspire you."

Life at Intel India – Memories to cherish!
It’s been a journey of more than two years since I started at Intel, straight from the environs of college. Time really flies by when people are genuinely happy; it tends to drag its feet lazily when they are sad as if mocking to accentuate the sadness.
