Thanks for your advice. I have 5 years of experience and money is real problem here. I can not make that much money in Deloitte if I remain their for two or more years. It's huge sum of money for me and Deloitte offer is not even competent but learning opportunities will be more and also my profile will be good if I join their. What you suggest?

If you're 5 years in, then you will benefit from the experience and reputation you will get at a big consultancy. The extra bit of pay Sears will give you is short lived.

Again if you're 5 years into a career think about a longer term investment in your future. Unless you have mouths to feed now or are dealing with loan sharks take the one that will benefit the most from over the long term. I'd guess that's Deloitte but not sure what your role is and where you want to take your career.

Thanks, I think IT branch is not responsible for that kind of issues. They are moving more to ecommerce areas so I think retail does not affect much.

Sears is not dying or dead. They have around 40 some brands they own and they are doing quite well. Yes they aggressively close non performing stores and they aren't in every mall like they used to be. But they are very much into ecommerce, supply chain management, repair business etc. and the technology groups they have do some neat shit, again not a panacea but pretty cool.

Also remember they are in the top 20 of all retailers in the US so if you can say you worked on ecommerce for a top 20 retailer and made real impacts, sorry that to me will be better then Deloitte. I'd hire a person with that experience over the consulting person, especially for a online business.

Great!! and really thanks for your advice. They selected me for working on their e-commerce project and they are trying to move more on e-commerce (As I have discussed with project managers). I was very confused. Once again Thanks for your valuable advice.

Thanks for advice. It might depend on their requirement and urgency of project and skills so they are offering me more. I do not want to loose that huge money and also wanted to join Deloitte (I am also not sure I am right fit as I am very technical and introvert person). I am really confused right now.

I get being confused.

Deloitte like any consulting work can grind on you after awhile but honestly it can be a lot of fun, especially if you are younger and don't have pets, family you want to see etc. I did consulting for years, large and my own.

Sears believe it or not is not a dying company and has significant technical resources for differing product lines. People don't realize they power a lot of repair business tool chains, Design software etc. not that it is a panacea but don't let the fact it is an old company stop you, they are doing some neat stuff. I consulted for them a number of years back and I was totally dumbfounded at all the stuff they are into and creating. Of course it is a larger company so it comes with some headaches like all big companies, Deloitte too.

Also, don't let being an introvert stop you from Deloitte as that may be a good thing as they will help you communicate and you'll learn to be more extroverted. At the same time, don't buy into the hype that having Deloitte on your resume will help you, it won't make a huge difference. If you plan on making a career in enterprise software or consulting it will weigh more but even then I have seen quite a few enterprises basically ignore all resumes from anyone with big 5 experience. Not saying that is super common but just pointing out having that name on your resume doesn't always mean good.

Thanks for advice. I do not know more about their culture. What would you suggest for me?

Honestly i would not consider ether before knowing this. I always ask other coders why i should _not_ start there, this usually leads to interesting (and often honest) insights.

I want to build drone startup.

One person I know was from very good college and he got calls from recruiters from big companies.

When instagram is made there was no library of making actual logic. You should not rely on libraries if you want to make instagram you should rely on people who can make that kind of libraries

Microsoft can not handle it's own scale. I think they did not expect to get that much load :)

I want to do something with AI and want to learn AI. Can anyone guide me some cool beginner projects with neural networks?

Agh, I remember there was this little thing that let you interactively play with neuron width and add and remove nodes, but I can't find it.

Here's what else is in my bookmarks, aka what I've seen go past on here over the past few months that seemed approachably interesting:

http://www.wildml.com/2015/09/implementing-a-neural-network-... - a getting-started guide you can follow along with in IPython

https://codewords.recurse.com/issues/five/why-do-neural-netw... - just playing around, but notable

https://github.com/mbartoli/neural-animation - shows how to restyle video in manner loosely resemblant of Deep Dream

http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ - this book is online-only but it's CC so you could legally crawl it if you wanted a local copy, I haven't rated it for my own use yet

http://nxxcxx.github.io/Neural-Network/ - a static 3D visualization you can zoom around, mostly kitsch but still kinda fun.

I recommend you go through the cream of the crop and find what suits you the most though:

I think code4startup is also stole idea from http://www.codingfounders.com/ It does not matter in idea it is matter to execution. I hope codeupstartup will remain free so that many users and student can benefit from it.
