#3This really makes you ask 'What on earth am I doing with my life?'. The article is well said ,they want you to be too scared to leave,much like a well cared for house slave would. They even trick you into believing "benefits" are a valid form of compensation.
That being said,not all corps are like that. Some take in people like me with no college education(hah!) And give us opportunities to prove ourselves.

#6> Because quite honestly? I’d read your business plan any day. Your résumé would look better on top of a funding proposal, than under a cover letter.
Wow, what a way to sum up such an topic! Thanks.

#7I've worked for BigCo and startups, and don't have a degree. It has never been an issue, anywhere I've worked, ever. I've asked. They don't care. The only time it would matter is if it was a legal requirement for professional engineering (anything involving safety).
Yes, BigCo wants to hire middle of the spectrum folks who live in the suburbs and do a decent job for a fair wage. But they also want to (and do) hire hackers.

What was the basis, was this real life or a mix of fiction and real. Would love the true background story.

Did you change the layout since the original publication? The quotation marks at the beginning of every other paragraph are vaguely confusing.
