Hi , can someone help me with the resignation process in cgi? Do we jus need to drop a mail to manager or any request needs to be raised in the portal? And if it is just mail, then what happens if manager is on long leave for 2 weeks?

Hello,

I recently joined CGI as senior systems engineer. I am a developer having 6+ years of experience.

Hope that I will be doing developer job with the given designation and not the networking stuff.

Anyone have any idea on this?

Hi,

I have applied for an open position in Siemens. I've received a confirmation mail from the Siemens Talent acquisition team of the same last Tuesday. After that, there is no update from the team.

What is the normal wait period when your profile is being evaluated in Siemens?

If you have any idea then please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, how many of the big 4 accept 3 months notice period?

To all the LEK people offering referrals... we haven’t forgot about your previous 6 month trial period BS...

Hey 🐟 fam. I’m starting a new gig next week that’s 90% WFH. I’d love some recommendations on a second monitor. Nothing crazy pricy, but something that’ll work well with my MacBook Pro. Thanks y’all.

Somewhat recently lateraled from a large firm to a small firm and I’m starting to feel very micromanaged. Any tips on how to deal with this?

How is the freelance world looking in Chi right now?

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

How has anybody had luck with getting freelance account gigs? Been silent in LA

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

3 freelance inquiries in one day. All 3 about how they need someone with my specific experience, all 3 offering half my usual hourly rate. I said OK since I'm not booked. After telling me to "hang tight" all three ghosted.

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

What’s the best way to apply for freelance gigs as a producer? Not getting any bites on WNW

Is charging $1 per word reasonable for someone w/10 years of copywriting experience?

Is LA the worst right now or am I just the worst?

I enjoy being asked for samples when I featured my website 3 times through email. In the body, my signature and my resume. I spend 100~/year on it. It has my entire portfolio... 😒😒😒

Massachusetts freelance but go to NY/travel for work occasionally. I am looking at marketplace insurance and leaning towards a Tufts plan. Anyone have problems with Tufts? The BCBS higher cost but there does not appear to be a good reason. I’m afraid of some of the smaller places/never heard of. Transitioning off Cobra with United Health. Anyone have advice?

Anyone looking for short term freelance support the next 2 weeks, my schedule opened up. Background; new business pitches, data driven strategy, research and analytics. Unlike most analysts, I work well with creatives :)

If I contribute to a solo 401k, is the additional profit-sharing contribution (the 25% of compensation after the $19500 contribution) based on my gross income, or is it based on gross income minus expenses? Thank you🙏🏼

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?

Question to freelancers: why?
What are the benefits and the odds of being a freelancer and how did you make that choice?

Have you ever regretted your choice?

Are y’all worried about the availability of work with the projected upcoming recession?

Have any American Producers ever successfully been able to freelance abroad (London or Amsterdam)? Any advice?

Not sure if anyone is gonna be down for this but i know of a writing gig with a rate of $60-$80/hr. It’s mainly website copy for a web3 company so it could be good to get that experience. DM if you’re interested.
