Are there any firms out there that actually let you take all your PTO? I hate that we have to make up our PTO to meet utilization targets. Been on a capped 40-hour project for the last two years and it’s had a terrible effect on my utilization.

Plus, any firms that don’t require more working for free (like all of our BS firm contributions here at D)?

Hey guys confused between FRACTAL and Nagrro

FRACTAL hire for 6 week training program then Project.

Having 4 year's of experience, looking for good wlb, job security, and good work for Data Engineer role.

Thought experiment for you, fishies.

We all love to hate on billable hours. What’s a real, feasible alternative???

Small agency owner 🙋🏻‍♂️ I’ve wracked my brain and have 3 biz model options, none great:

Billable hrs: Generally accepted. We all know the downsides.

Pay4performance: Big upside potential, tons of risks.

Project pricing: Cloak for billable hours. You have to estimate project cost with something.

Who’s thought of a better approach??? Genuinely curious if there is one.

Experience with keeping the account once your client gets acquired? Does the account get moved to the bigger company’s agency?

Any advice for approaching a maternity leave conversation when my company has no policy, no HR dept and I have no contract? I’m a partner shareholder in my company (we’re not in the US), 19 wks pregnant. I know the time off and pay I’d like to negotiate, but my partners are male and weird about money. I’m underpaid in a very senior 6 yr position, my job is stressful and around the clock, so I want proper leave. I can’t afford childcare and our govt stat leave is terrible, it won’t pay my bills.

What agencies stand out for being great to work at for LGBT folks? Both in the sense of supportive agency culture and meaningful client work. 

Can someone help me with a referral. I am looking for a project manager role in servicenow implementation in Chennai.

If I don't complete my work in TCS during notice period can manager do anything bad.

I'm not a bad person but they gave a completely new work once I resigned, since the last project got ramped down.

So instead of giving KT and I was getting KT during notice period.

The new project was time consuming and I also have interviews to attend and also to handle exit process.

Impact of big 4 consulting in an data engineering career.

I recently started at one of the big 4 as a DE. So far I have seen some pretty poor coding practice, lack of version control and taking short cut everywhere. Every one also highly prefer no code ETL tool. I am a little worried that this environment is bad for a DE career.

Just wondering if this is just my project or is or project like that? I am considering switching after a few more months.

Tomorrow was my joining day with one service company, today i got a call from a client of rejected service company, they are very much interested to joining their team directly. I asked them to give an update by EOD.I got confused again. Any suggestions pls.

How do you mentally deal with the stress of this work and these (demanding Wall Street) clients? I’m a senior m&a associate leading multiple deals and every client wants a quick turn around and response times around the clock which is impossible to keep up for each one. I feel like im not giving the best service even though I’m working late nights and weekends. I’m close to promotion but wondering if I’m not cut out for this (seeing some health affects) or if all I need is a mindset change.

Does anyone else hate it when partners tell you to treat them like a client? I mean I get that in a sense as a way to mandate excellent work product / strive for the best - but it’s also a really shitty way to have to think of / view someone purporting to be a mentor and it causes me so much anxiety! vent over

I’m currently thinking about moving to Canada from the uk but for the same field I’m seeing jobs around $35-45k 🥲. Can anyone refer me for some jobs that meet my credentials. Currently working for central government doing workforce management/ workforce planning. I have an advanced diploma in project management and degree business administration. I also have dual citizenship for USA and uk. Anything would help I really want to move but not worth uprooting my family for those salary’s.

For people who have been to client sites in the past few months, has your client required you to get tested weekly for Covid? I’ve been vaccinated, but I don’t know if getting tested is routine or overkill?

I plan to take 13 days vacation. Do I need to get major approvals at EY? I used to take 10 days vacation earlier and used to work fine.

Just signed a new contract for 70k eoro and 30% plus 25% team bonus plus 25% firm performance bonus. Not sure how I should feel about that. But I'm happy I left my stressful old firm...

Genuinely curious question: let’s assume the Hunter Biden emails are real for discussion purposes (I don’t believe they are). How does this affect Biden’s fit for the presidency? The GOP has already found that a president asking a foreign nation to investigate a political rival isn’t disqualifying, having foreign nations purchase empty hotel rooms at a president’s properties isn’t a conflict, a president’s son taking a meeting with Russian spies about Clinton’s emails wasn’t either
