还没毕业，正积极找工作。有卡，做分析方向，有一个一年contract的offer，在Boston Biotech，由recruitor介绍的，肯定被抽成，最后是$39一小时，无benefit.想问问大家意见怎样，这个价钱是否合适，还是应该继续找full time的offer。谢谢。

(Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc will no longer sell Amazon.com Inc's Kindle
products, making it the second major chain to stop selling Amazon's devices,
as the world's largest retailer makes a bet that consumers are more
interested in other gadgets.
"We have recently made the business decision to not carry Amazon tablets and
eReaders beyond our existing inventory and purchase commitments," Wal-Mart
said in a memo sent to store managers dated Wednesday. "This includes all
Amazon Kindle models current and recently announced."
Wal-Mart said the decision was consistent with its overall merchandising
strategy. While Wal-Mart dwarfs other retailers in overall sales, it trails
Amazon and others in online sales and has been trying to beef up its
Internet business. Consumers who buy Kindle tablets such as the new Kindle
Fire HD can shop on the devices for more than just digital books, pushing
Amazon into heightened competition with stores.
A Wal-Mart spokeswoman confirmed the decision and said the company would
continue to sell "a broad assortment" of tablets, eReaders and accessories.
Amazon declined to comment.
Wal-Mart continues to sell products such as Apple Inc's iPad tablets and
Barnes & Noble Inc's Nook.
Searches for "Kindle" on the websites of Walmart and the company's Sam's
Club warehouse chain on Thursday brought up items such as cases and screen
protectors used with the Kindle, as well as e-readers and tablets from other
companies.
Wal-Mart's decision to pull the plug on Kindles comes months after Target
Corp stopped selling the products.
Shares of Wal-Mart were up 0.3 percent at $74.57 at midday on Thursday,
while shares of Amazon.com slipped 0.6 percent to $260.02.

2000 x 39 = 78000,这相当于你的年薪。对于fresh grad来说还可以了。如果你的身体
很健康，预期不怎么看医生的话，可以一试。

我一直害怕找consultant的工作，怕自己说话说不好

Amazon started charging sales in many state. Now it started directly
competing with Walmart. At same time walmart also start doing things
like Amazon using its website(walmart.com). From walmart.com you can
see a lot of products that you don't see in the physical stores.
Overall, Amazon is in big trouble though its stock is going up
quite a lot. I feel someday we will see its bubble stock gets busted
because it just cannot make reason profit from most of its business.
