Still waiting. They received about 2,000 applications and typically call in 80 to interview from what I've heard.

Interesting... Where did you find that number? While more than last year, it's not quite as many as I would have expected, given the new 150k incentive.

That's the rough estimate that Harjeet quoted. Certainly could be more or less.

Without following the link, the post reads like spam. I didn't downvote it, but that's probably why others did.
