What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Never buy new shoes like the day before the interview. I didn't notice it at the time, but by the end of the day, I was bleeding, because of that stupid thing. It cut my ankle like a knife.

What are your general comments?

It was great overal as far as I know, I had one of the "tought" interviewer. All the other interviewers were asking questions about basketball, but thanks God that I didn't have him or else I would have plunk, since I know jack about basketball.
