Slalom Consulting Discussions

Anyone joined IBM GBS recently... what are the contents in the welcome kit/ goodies?..which brand laptop are they sending?

I have joined a company on 4th Feb, through consultancy on contract to hire basis.
I only received the job offer letter from the consultancy, but no Appointment Letter is given yet.
So since it's 10-15 day, since I joined. Can I leave this company, since I've got a better offer, with my suitable location.
PS: I have also received the laptop, but didn't login or do anything yet.
Please help me, can I still leave the company? And return the laptop to them. Or I have to continue here itself?

Hi guys! I'm currently working as an SDE at Amazon (2 years of work exp). I'm looking to switch out of Amazon (preferably to move into tech consulting) and would appreciate any referrals. Please feel free to DM me. Thanks in advance.

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report.

I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.
