What a great thread! I heard about MS a couple of weeks ago and found you through google. Just had to join WAHM too (even though I'm really a WHAD
).
Thanks to all contributors (the legit ones) for the great advice. After reading this thread I've just applied and been accepted for my first MS company and I plan to apply for many more. This seems like a great place to learn.
Ooops, I should mention that I'm based in UK right now, with a little bit of UAE from time to time. So if there are any UK or UAE specific threads, then I plan to be getting involved.
