After failed final round interviews with Microsoft, Capgemini, Next Jump, finally got a job offer from the Oracle Fusion Time and Labor Group! Its a HUGE relief...I shudder to think what the situation would be if I didn't have an offer by now. Will be joining on 1st July. Got an on site interview with Cisco a couple of days ago, but since I have accepted Oracle's offer, I guess I won't be going to San Jose. Funny how things work out...I never thought I would be working in a database company during my undergrad, and Cisco was my dream company at that time! I seriously hope the business applications domain turns out to be interesting, and if not I will try to move to a group involved in virtualization, or cloud computing.
Live Objects has been the most interesting work this semester. In the beginning, I invested a lot more time than I did last semester into LO project work. Even Krzys liked the effort I was putting in, and he is a difficult man to impress! Dan is a great guy to work with. I like the weekly meetings which keep me on my toes. After completing the shared folder module for the Air Force Research Labs project, I was asked to develop a video for the demo. Initially, we had looked at a time frame of 2-3 weeks to complete the video, but its been 6 weeks now! The problem is, its a little difficult to motivate yourself to make a VIDEO, for fucks sake. I like how it is shaping up now, and I am sure this experience will help in the future with presentations and all.
Next step is to help Qi Huang and Dan on a paper they are writing. My task is to help them set up the experiments and testing environments on Emulab. It will require generating traffic, measuring latency, jitter and creating multicast routers. It promises to be a fantastic learning experience! Am really glad I decided to stay with this group, and not choosing the easy way out.
Have been playing a lot of sports this semester. Tennis, badminton, table tennis, cricket, racketball, football, a little bit of basketball...the course load is less, only live objects keeps me busy! Have had a lot of fun!
