is REMOTE anywhere in the world or just the US?

Presto has great source code too, check it out: http://github.com/prestodb/presto

Just go for the money and try having a peaceful state of mind. Wherever you go you will probably have other issues.

This is so common in the tech industry as we are just "resource"s.

Of course politics. It is key to promotion in many companies, most of the companies don't care about your technical skills or your work.

well, this is firing too, but in a polite way.

Any benchmarks against Presto?

latex -> pdf

I heard a lot of times that he wrote bulk of the NT kernel himself, is that really correct? I feel like a lot of people in his team are not given enough credit, and I also feel like he is being pushed as another tech hero.

Any benchmarks comparing CitusDB against Presto?

Presto also has a high quality codebase: https://github.com/facebook/presto

You can try working as a software engineer in some research project for a while, say at an industry research lab, then slowly make a transition to a research position (which may require a PhD degree).

Surprised that no one mentioned Facebook's Presto project: https://github.com/facebook/presto

Presto team is just awesome.

regarding remote, any chance for east of Poland?

This is an interesting one: https://github.com/prestodb/presto-odbc But I am not sure whether D is a perfect fit here though.

You can also run mapreduce in local mode on a single machine.

> We also have a manager who run a code consistency checker and flag any submits which don't conform to the standards

Why don't you do this during build time using build plugins or using commit hooks instead of a manager doing it?

and how is that different from the original meetup app?

You can take a look at this one for starters: http://www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-work-as-a-software-e...

Having said that I didn't hear good things from my friends.

go do an mba instead of a phd if you really want to spend more time in university.
