The MSDN JobsBlog website has some archived videos that do a walkthrough of what to expect the interview process to be like for development positions. It gives a good idea of what to expect in your interview. Best advice I can give is to bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated through the day and if you do well it will be a long day. Also, take some energy bars to keep up your energy level throughout the process. https://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/default.aspx[^]

In some cases many of the positions go unfilled because of the salary that the company is advertising. During the .com boom I worked with a foreign student who was completing his MBA specializing in Tech Management. After graduating a Fortune 500 company hired him on an H1B visa as an IT Director in Mountain View... for $60k a year. There's no way they could have found a senior level manager in the Bay for that much in the late 90's short of an H1B worker.

Thank you, this looks like just the type of book I was looking for. Ended up picking up this as well as Windows Forms Programming in C#. Thank you all for the help.

Haven't had much luck searching for this in the forums or online. I've done some programming in VB.NET and want to make the jump to C#. A lot of the beginning C# books are a little too introductory. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a book that is more focused on learning the language, syntax, and features of the language rather than a ground up intro to the .Net framework, OOP, etc... Any insight/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
