About to start as a first-year associate at a v50 firm, and I have received a phone call from a judge offering me a federal clerkship position beginning in the “Fall of 2022,” which I have accepted. When should I inform my firm about my clerkship? Do I wait until after I receive written confirmation of the clerkship from chambers and then do so immediately after, or should I wait a few months until after I begin working? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Most firms value clerkships, I don’t really see a disadvantage. I think the only time you would cause problems is if you didn’t tell them in a timely fashion

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9

Which one is better?

Infosys 13L + 1L joining bonus (11.7 is fixed) (location: Bangalore) in Development role

CTS 12.45 L (12L is fixed) (location: Bangalore) in Development role

Amazon 14L + 6 L joining bonus (location: Chennai) in Support role

I'm currently in support role and main reason for switch is to work in dev. Please suggest which offer i should take.

Current CTC 4.37 L, YOE 3.2
