I think this is the best place to ask this question. I was recently offered a Tech Intern from Goldman. As it was the only good option I had at that time, I decided to go for it. Working there was a great experience and definitely learned a lot about financial markets. My main goal going there was to understand the inner workings of such a big Investment Bank. I grabbed a lot about that.

Working there was good, but throughout my work I had confusion regarding these: 1. People were way too professional. 2. I was tightly following what Goldman had done during recession. I felt it was ethically wrong (watch "Inside Job"). Result, I was not able to feel myself as a part of Company. 3. There were too much restrictions on employees. Surveillances were running on our accounts. Everything was tracked etc. etc.

On other side I must say that their technology was great. The size of data they process everyday is marvelous. But finally, after a lot of thought I rejected the final offer from their side. Right now I am working in a big company, with relatively less compensation. I am happy with my current job.

I still stand on my decision. Just want to know your opinion about the same. Was I too childish raising above questions in my mind?

I was one of the person whose account was accidently reseted by gMail. My account had 10K+ emails over the time period of last five years. I know they will restore it anyways, but still this incident has made me more concerned about having a secure e-mail (I know, no one can beat gmail in ease of use).

What I am looking for is some paid alternative to e-mail. I tried fastmail.fm, and its good enough. I am still not sure about their reliability.

I can afford upto $50 a year, with atleast 1 gb of storage. Reliability is the most important concern.
