Is it for any particular product or functional area (sales, service, marketing)

They haven’t sent me the prompt yet...said they would a week out. I would guess it would be sales or marketing. I’m interviewing for a Financial Services team if that helps.

Interesting maybe there are multiple roles open??

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The New Yorker released the transcript of a previously unpublished interview with James Baldwin, who gave a first-hand account of "Freedom Day 1963," a Black voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama. Baldwin's descriptions from that day are so vivid and detailed that you can feel the fear and anger of the event. If you have a couple of minutes, I highly recommend you read it.

Freelancers, do you actually benefit from having an S Corp? Assume someone is earning about $100k in 1099s and $150k in W9s.

Everyone who insists on it says things like “yeah I’m not sure how, but it helps” or “this is my first year doing it.”

However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only..
