multi-tasking or design centre?

For a permanent position(obviously a misnomer) you are supposed to do everything and make the boss happy, they call it flexibility(willing to learn, enthusiastic, etc.)

However, if you apply for a contract position, believe me if they are going to use xilinx and you only have excellent altera experience, then you wouldn't get it and vice versa...that is called rigidity...

Alt1000: did they actually do post-mortem on the poor guy, I doubt if he died of natural causes. Did they put flowers on the interview desk? We all have to meet our almighty designer...
