I wear cords for business casual before. Don't see how they would be inappropriate if they look the same as jeans would

I wish!

I worked with one PPD who was on a different workstream and for some reason he came to the client site one week with only one pair of navy cords. Finally on Thursday I was like, "bold move to try to sneak three days straight of navy cords by us, but they aren't very subtle." Everyone on his team pooped their pants laughing and still give him hell about it to this day.

Yeah if you're in San Fran holding hands with..:

No, never appropriate anywhere,ever

Loft makes some cute cord skinny pants! They are appropriate and look great with certain outfits

It's fine

Corduroy is NEVER acceptable. Even from Jos A Banks

Hi Fishers, I am working as PM with YOE - 12 years. PM exp - 5 years and prior to this 7 years as PO/BA.

How much salary should I ask in this company considering my YoE. They are offering Senior PM role. What are the things I could negotiate in this company.

Thanks in advance.

There is a company that I want to apply to and I see opportunities on LinkedIn that interest me. I’m also working with a recruiter. It’s close to where I live and she knows where I live but she hasn’t recommended it. I’m guessing she doesn’t have a network with the company. Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

I've been starting to work more in new biz at my agency and the president said in a meeting this afternoon that he wants to increase our close rate to "at least 50%" once we're at the pitch stage.

Best jobs to transfer to from consulting? With remote options perhaps? Or good levels of freedom?
