1000 advice by Dmitry Pavlov

I came to the US in 1997 and since then had 3 children (all boys :-), got a PhD, taught 2 courses at UC Irvine and TAed numerous other, had 2 internships with IBM and Siemens, had 2 jobs with NEC and now Yahoo!, published over 20 research papers, filed for 3 patents (one issued), filled 9 tax returns by hand, bought 3 houses and sold 1. This was also a time when I actively learned about how things work in America. On this page I will attempt to sumarize my experiences in a "how-to" style.
