Account Execs: Does anyone still get a dedicated Car Allowance?

Ten years ago, every agency Account Director I knew got $500/month for a car lease because they "drove to client meetings." In the Zoom era, did agencies quietly kill this perk to save cash, or are some of you still getting your car subsidized?

Does promotion happen while you're on bench in IT companies?
Hi All, I've completed two years in my current company and I was recently released from my project and my manager is trying to assign me to a new project hopefully.
My question is, will my promotion happen as I was eligible for the same and I was released to the bench as I'll be moving on to another project soon. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

I just want to say to the Indian managers / SMs etc. stop taking everything so seriously and stressing people out on your teams. I have had managers who put initiative work so high in importance that it stresses me out about client work. Chill out and stop emailing on weekends. Hang out with your families! Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!

I need help managing a contract transition. I just started working as project manager owning a large system and help manage a team of developers contracted by a different company. Now their contract is ending and I’ve been asked to represent the gov’t as a contractor and make sure the transition goes well. I’ve never been in this position…usually I’m either transitioning in or out. The outgoing isn’t very organized with their knowledge transfer and documentation and want to help them but how?

My joining in EY GDS is Feb 21st, anyone else joining on the same day?
How many days before can I expect the onboarding related emails and what are the activities on the initial few days? Usually within how many days project gets assigned?
Please let me know, thanks in advance !!

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Can i get released from project while being on notice period ?

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?

What's a good Software Engineering salary in Stockholm, Sweden?
I am currently making a bit more than 40k/year, and I have gotten extremely mixed information about whether it's a good salary or not

More info:

-I work with embedded software development with mostly C and C++

When HR/recruiter says X-Y range or Y is the highest they can go, is it actually true? Is “signing bonus” a real thing (read online but never practically saw this)?

Still feel underpaid on initial base salary :/
