200…and the joy of one simple word “Whatever”

Posted on June 24, 2022June 24, 2022 by Surya

What do we look for in a job?

Posted on February 6, 2007 by Surya

An interesting article in FT by Lucy Kellaway titled “Thrusting young careerists give the lie to ‘Generation Y‘” caught my attention – I disagree with several points that the author makes in the article, but it sure prompted me to think about what we look for in a job – after all the real war…
