It never hurts to ask, never say no yourself. Let other people do that for you. Opens so many doors!

I was in meet-up where one of attendee asked a question to speaker on how to say no to customer when they have crazy requirements?

Speaker - There some times when you can't say no and in that situation you have to choose different path. One of my customer asked me to create the existing CRM like Google search page. It should show only one search box in front and all search should work like Google. I said sure and here is the budget for this change. After hearing the $$$ she just stop asking for!

Graduated from school last May, had a week before I started a full-time job (did that for 2 months then landed where I am now). I learned it's difficult to have a good social life when work + commute takes ~50 hours a week (and that office politics isn't just a meme). Learned that I need to create my own meaning in life, and that friends and family are more important than anything.
