REAL_ME .. are you studying as well ? Anyways, Good Luck for your new advent. And corporate politics or whatever you say , are always befuddling. You gotta live with it , but then, if its not your choice .. and you long for something better .. thats a very good move you made. If you are confident enough for a better job elsewhere .. you surely would grab one. no worries... just stick to your intuitions and rest will follow.. Good Luck again.
