    Must be a team member

    Seems every contract these days is stipulating "Must be a team player", "Must fit in with the team", "Must fit in with the best techie savvy team in the country", "Must mentor the team juniors", "Must have a ridiculous skill set to bring to the team", "Must run the team", "Must run the company"...

    My trial of VS2013 has just expired. Should I purchase my own version or try to get a copy off my next client? Is it worth getting my own MSDN subscription?
