Andriy Burkov : If you plan to do your Master's or Ph.D., choose your research advisor carefully. Ask about them his* current and past students, whether he was easily available for them, whether he responded to the requests for reference sent by their employers.
My research advisor, when was asked by one of my first employers whether they should hire me, responded: "You will call me back to thank me if you hire him." This is what a great research advisor would do for his students.
Unfortunately, not all research advisors are like this. For one of my hires, their research advisor didn't respond to two of my emails with requests for reference. I still hired the candidate, and I'm very happy with my choice. But the research advisor should be ashamed to ignore such requests about their recent alumni. To be available for their present and past students is advisors' direct duty.

The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt.
