		<description><![CDATA[I got invited by RIM to see a talk by Roger Martin (yes, the Dean of Rotman) on his new book the Opposable Mind. So I threw on my suit and headed over to the Royal York. Before the talk, I had a chance to speak to the Dean for a few minutes, and this further confirmed my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For future reference (I should have logically already figured this out): They subtract the following from signing bonuses: Federal Tax, CPP, EI. Also, given the size of most signing bonuses, they tax you at the highest tax bracket. ARG! On top of that EI really makes no sense to me given I can&#8217;t collect. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, I can talk about it. Today RIM, Canada&#8217;s most valuable company, released the Facebook for BlackBerry app today. This gives me the ability to talk about my summer work a slight bit where I spent a lot of time doing work for RIM in this area and (some specific work) on this app. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it took nearly 4 weeks but I finally find myself doing a consistent level of work. It&#8217;s still no where near as bad as last year&#8212;it looks like I&#8217;ll probably have most of the weekend off, again. My original assessment of the courses still seems true right now. I&#8217;m really happy with the amount [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a few things that are very scary to MBA students in their last year&#8230; The scariest is probably economic downturn which will tighten company expenditures and make them less likely to hire new grads. Here&#8217;s the S&#38;P500 (from finance.google.com): It gets worse when you zoom in to recent data: Of course just looking [...]]]></description>

Again, to cover my butt: I currently work for RIM but any opinions I’m expressing are my own and not RIM’s. All information in this post is public knowledge.]]></description>

There are lots of numbers that get thrown at you about job success rates and ways in which people find jobs. Of course the numbers are true but people can come [...]]]></description>
