are you prepared to give up
for the next two years: Hobby? Money? Career? Weekends? All of those?
Does your family support you?
Do you really believe in the team?

If you’re unhappy, talk about it
If you’re not convinced,
talk about it
If someone in the team is not living up to your expectations, talk about it

(not only
what you learned in school)
Learn new skills
