Considering a jump from a staff (no billable hours requirement) position to one with a 2000 billable requirement that will be client facing. Does anyone have tips to make that more manageable / avoid procrastination / deal with the pressure? Thanks!

I hope there is a large jump in base pay. Not a promise of future/bonus pay.

Tip to make it more manageable before you start: plan out a funeral to say bye to all your friends because you won’t have a life once you start the new job. Hope the money is worth it so you can be resurrected after a few years with a big pile of cash under your pillow.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Any thoughts on what to expect?
