Cofounding Terminal 1. We're the the only full-service recruiting agency in Hong Kong where every recruiter has deep industry experience. That means 10+ years of experience implementing everything from distributed databases to ensemble machine learning models.
At the same time, we build internal tools to automate our processes so we can eventually get to 100% automation.

- I would deeply appreciate advice from you or anyone who has thoughts.
I did a double major in CS and Business during my undergrad at CMU ('09) and focused very much on practical learning (read: programming/web apps) and corporate/startup endeavors. However, I was always drawn towards studying the relationship between minds and machines on my own time. Mostly triggered from Godel's theorem, reading GEB/AI books, and some obsessive impulse to learn about my own mind.
Now that I'm working my first job, this impulse is stronger than ever. I find myself reading papers/books on philosophy, anthropic mechanism, AI, etc. during what free time I have. I suspect that I should study a PhD in this subject, given this impulse doesn't seem to be going away.
However, I have absolutely no research experience and had little contact with professors during my undergrad. Would you advise I seriously pursue this intellectual interest as a PhD (versus during my free time)? If so, do you have any thoughts on how I should go about applying? Given that most applications require research recommendations, I was thinking of contacting professors of papers I admired, but am not sure how well that approach would work.
Thank you for reading! My email is in my profile if that works better.
- I really like the concept behind this Ask HN, especially the "help someone else in the thread with their goals." I'll definitely try.
Goal: Launch a non-profit student apprenticeship program in partnership with a few corporations.
Roadblock #1: While doing my 9-7 job.
Roadblock #2: A few of my web applications are finally reaching the "need to incorporate" stage. Have very little clue about law and accounting.
Roadblock #3: Have some of the clients/partnerships down, but getting the right students and professionals involved is difficult.

Thanks!
- Booz Allen (http://www.boozallen.com), a large government consulting firm in Washington, DC is on a serious hiring spree right now because of a new flexible recruiting model.
I work with the Diplomacy and Intl. Development (DID) team in IT strategy, but I can put you in touch with the right people if you want to do something else. We do everything from public policy to systems development. Basically, a great way to get some consulting experience.
- See the first Google result for a casual [search](http://www.google.com/search?q=take+paid+vacation+whenever+I...) of your phrase.
I noticed that you've scaled the business quite quickly since inception a year ago, growing to around 100 employees.
I see a lot of advice saying to keep growth to only ~2x FTEs per year to preserve culture. How do you reconcile that with your hyper-scale financing and hiring trajectory?
Thanks, really appreciate your thoughts.
