Asking Questions 6 years ago

Thank you very much for writing this. I needed this.

I recently joined a new workplace and realized that everyone around me were talking too much for asking simple questions, questions which would normally require a sentence or two.

My previous workplace was small "startup" company around 20 employees, where questions in conversations were simple and straight to the point.

This is inconstrast to my new workplace which is a big corporate company with a few thousand employees. I honestly felt a little stupid the first few weeks.

Unfortunately, my take away from reading this, is to turn my child like questions into more adult like, to fit into the corporate culture.

Exactly, i deal with a few of data processing programs, wish my more experienced colleagues told me about these algorithms before, but doesn't this algorithm only compute an approximation and not the exact value ?

"While the H1B visa program has a complicated impact on the labor market, in this analysis we look at one common misperception about the program: that it represents a source of “cheap” foreign labor for U.S. employers.

To the contrary, we find that H1B workers today are paid slightly above similar U.S. workers in the same city and job according to Glassdoor data — about 2.8 percent more on average. Whatever the pros and cons of the program, low pay for H1B workers isn’t something we see in the data."
