Yes, I’ve worked in most industries. Currently in insurance.

Best way to describe the company is very average. I work remote, but the headquarters is nice. Kinda barebones, free coffee/tea, decent cafeteria. I don’t think I’d be as happy in the office daily. It’s on par with other non-tech companies like T-Mobile, UBS, Vanguard, Fiserv, AT&T. It’s not like a Google expense budget and nice kitchens or what you find in start ups. Salary is on par with consulting, bonus about the same, retirement is better, and I work 38hrs a week. I have zero stress meeting their expectations. I was recently married and got out of consulting for this role. I don’t regret it and have plenty to compare it to. The wow factor of free snacks and espresso machines wears off pretty quick when you’re working 6 days a week, 12hrs a day in a tech company. My team is also a good group, which makes a big difference. It’s the only insurance specific company I’ve worked at, so I have no comparison to other insurance companies. Insurance as an industry has been struggling with inflation, bond prices, rising claims. It might be impacting budgets. We’ve had several rounds of layoffs as a result. Thats been the only negative. I wouldn’t call them cheap either they let me expense a $320 bar tab last trip, I can stay at a Mariott, that’s all I need.

Hi Fishes,

Most important question:

1. I was on bench in my company since April 2022, So since may I was started looking for the opportunities for better pay but didn't got any offer still attending interviews.
2. In June 2022 i got know that I will have to work on 2 client's project which will be 50% 50% allocation on both sides.
3. I will be getting offer soon from one of the MNC, In that case what should I do?? Should I resign or go ahead with 2 client's project in my organization??

I’m one of the only attorneys in my Texas firm that had electricity, internet, and water this week.

I just want to know, I’m not the only one that struggled this week to do any work, right?
