I already know that stuff. Im seeing AB Initio posted on the job sites. Sometimes you gotta pick up the buzzwords enough to talk about them.

I would assume its not that big of a deal though. Market is just really tight. I only have 3.5 years experience and Im competing aganst guys with 10 years for the same jobs. So I have to work alot harder in my spare time.
