Writing test cases is boring. No one, including myself, wants to write them...but they must be done.
There is great responsibility in writing good, effective test cases, and none of which is fun.

Hi,
many of my friends have different opinion on switching the company. some of them changes job frequently even for minor money increment. i understand that if you are not getting a good growth(in terms of money and learning)/some bad office politics you should change your company but is it okay to switch company to get more pay/may be better opportunity (which we don't know if that is better, until joining the new company) even if you are happy with your current employer. what should be the right time for a developer to look for a change which will give him proper boost in his carrier?

For me personally, the right job is not just about the money or opportunity. I want to work for a company that treats its employees fairly and with respect, where I feel that my opinions are valued, that I feel that I can make a positive contribution and that I am fairly rewarded for making those contributions.
I am not career minded and do not switch from job to job just for minor pay increases. This looks bad on your resume and many employers avoid such people.
There is no right or wrong answer to this. If you constantly want to explore new opportunities then maybe contracting is a better option.

There is no "one rule" which covers when to switch. But...do note that switching too often can be a kiss of death for good companies. Recruiting costs money - lots of it - directly in terms of Agency fees (which are a percentage of the annual salary of each placed employee) or advertising, and indirectly in terms of the sheer time it takes to interview and decide. If you have a history of changing often then the implication is that you won't stay long, so you can get passed over in favour of a lesser candidate with a more "stable" employment history. It can also look like you are good at interviewing, and very bad at the job...
Don't change jobs just for money - unless the increment is substantial. Change because the old job is too easy and you need a challenge. Or because the conditions in the old company are intolerable for what ever reason. If you are happy with the employer, the work is good, the commute doesn't eat your life and soul, and your colleagues are good to work with then stay - if you can.

there are the people whom i know, they have change there job only once in 30 years of their career. So its totally depended on where you would like to work,are you happy with the work you are doing.
Is you work life is balanced(most important ).
Mark the answer as accepted if that worked for you .
And for down-voters please specify the reason to improve the solution .

Maybe its time to change the job when each Monday you wake up, realize you have to go to work and wish for a world apocalypse, so you can stay in bed a little longer and skip work.

Most people switch the company off at night, and on weekends, but I'd say it will vary with the the job.

I've recently upgraded my home desktop (actually desk - I installed the computer in the desk!) to Win 8.1. Now that I've uninstalled most of Apps, disabled the Metro crap and installed ClassicShell it's hardly different to what I'm used to (I'm happy about that). I can't help feeling that I must be missing some point though - I can't imagine when, on a desktop, I'd want to run an 'App' rather than run a program from the desktop the normal (proper?) way.
Does anyone run Metro apps on a desktop? If so, which ones and why? It just feels to me like you are trying to run your desktop in 'kiosk' mode - why would you want to do that?

No, not really. When the kids are on the computer, it can come handy, since they cannot click on something else or close the window, but apart from that...
I am a big fan of the tiles for launching programs, though.

The only thing that bugs me about the Metro apps is the lack of features compared to the desktop versions they were meant to replace.
|
|
|

That's exactly the reason it feels 'kiosky' to me - its like Windows is saying "I'm capable of much more than this, but I'm only LETTING you do THIS much"...

It seems the Metro apps are scaled to run on the ARM/RT system.
Why, here I am with an 8 core CPU and 32 GB of RAM, and the stupid Reader App won't let me open more than 5 PDF documents.
Even if they are only one page each. And nothing else is running on the PC. 5 measly documents. Grrrr.

I don't think the Metro apps were ever intended to replace desktop apps. They provide something different/new which is intended to be more appropriate for a touch screen. But they don't replace the desktop.

I run two apps regularly.
The News App is very decent, it fits so well, cant imagine it to be a desktop app, ever.
The second is the Music App, especially because you can clip it to a side of the monitor.

I also used to shy away from the metro apps when I first started out on Windows 8 but now run a few regularly.
Weather, News, Health & Fitness, Calendar, mZip, Book Bazaar Reader, VLC (Metro), My Notes, Maps, Alarms, Music, Calculator, Reading List, Video. To name a few.
Like anything else they are strange at first but once you learn to use them they become the new regular way of doing things.
And no I do not need a start button, the start page is a better way of doing things.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Each-to-their-own I guess, but I'm afraid I'm in the 'text-driven' camp I never used the 'desktop' the way I see some people use it - hundreds of icons! I typically have a link to the computer, the network and the recycle bin (although I don't use that either). I have browsers on quick launch and that's it (at home anyway, at work I have a few more links, but not many). It's why I still despise the ribbon - menus are just so much more efficient (for me) - and I prefer the 'old' style multi-column start menu.
