    American newscasters and classic film stars sported an accent half in between the U.S.- UK accents, also called as Transatlantic accent. Look back at old films even as late the end…

    You guys drink/ booze like it's going out of fashion. Must be all those cold long Wisconsin winters. Madison is an OK place in summer, but not a place I would like to live in. And …

    I totally agree with your point. But unfortunately/ fortunately, those other fields you mention do require a degree as a minimum. But again, they also tend to have larger consequen…

    There's probably a template which rearranges the words a bit and fills in your company specific info. It's going to be aahmazing!

    You will find that the Swiss comply with most EU laws, including GDPR in most instances. And so is/has/will the UK. You really can't sit next to one of the largest trading blocs in…

    Same here, I enjoy seeing my colleagues as well. But I prefer something like 2/3 days in the office and rest from home. This arrangement works better for me, covers all my needs/pr…
