That said, perhaps under the protection of anonymity, we could start obtaining information of the following kind:<BR/><BR/>* I work at a top 10/20 university/research lab.<BR/><BR/>* We have commenced / are in the middle of / have essentially ended candidate interviews. We might/are unlikely/will not call up any more candidates in for interviews.<BR/><BR/>* We have started / have not started / are unlikely to be / will not be giving offers to theory candidates.<BR/><BR/>The understanding of course is that the blog administrators will not correlate the IP address information with the comments either over public or private channels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-89518979287246594932008-03-12T16:23:00.000-05:002008-03-12T16:23:00.000-05:00mmmmm.......... slog #-#mmmmm.......... slog #-#Teutschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848264673734802964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-84748563769136309302008-03-12T14:16:00.000-05:002008-03-12T14:16:00.000-05:00now i worry...now i worry...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
