Have been able to avoid the bench with constant projects during COVID, which is good because nervous to be on bench at this time with all uncertainty. At the same time, I really feel myself starting to burn out. Likely starting a new project that will be < 3 months, how do I ask for PTO and set boundaries while also helping in a short term role?

Sorry you feel this way. Glad you are putting yourself first. What has helped me is that I don’t ask. I tell. When starting a new project, I set the expectation that I already had vacation planned. It’s the easiest way to get it in if you can say it was part of a previous agreement with your former manager

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
