People saying to decline or act like you didn’t see it. We’re in a recession y’all. We’re consultants and clients are how we get paid. Unless you have plans at 6am on Saturday, you put your adult pants on and go crush that meeting.

To the client, how about asking a clarifying question such as: I noticed our meeting got rescheduled, that is fine. However, it looks like it was rescheduled for Saturday at 6am; can you check if this was intended or a typo? They may simply respond, oh! Apologies, definitely a typo. Or if intended, maybe then say: I’m happy to accommodate team members’ schedules, Saturday this weekend is a challenge, is this coming week during work hours feasible? I can be available M-F 6am -8pm if your team needs time before or after their day. Let me know.

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
