Consulting career

When graduating from IIT, I was mostly interested in business consulting jobs.. So much that I didnt even want to interview with any software company. I couldnt imagine myself writing programs.

However, better senses prevailed.. I came here to grad school. This is where I really started loving writing softwares. Techies rule the world.. Consultants seemed like the spectators betting on who will win the game, and developers seemed like kicking the field goal. I started losing respect for management career, and at this point.. I cant imagine myself doing anything other than writing softwares.

Given this background, you would perhaps be able to understand why I thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog post by Joel Spolsky. While he is trying to make an entirely different point, the scenarios he uses amuses me. :)
