An interesting week. I have run into two past students. One came to fix my air conditioning. We had a great talk. He graduated 8 years ago. Making very good money. I told him how proud I was of him. Another we ran into him out on a walk. He knew me first and he is doing very well. Graduated 11 years ago. It was great seeing them and humbling that they remembered me. This is the reason I teach and what a great reminder that I do make a difference. Made my week that is for sure.

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks

Anybody here have a Canon R and thinking about the R6 Mk 2? I'm debating. Biggest negative for me is the drop from the 30 mp sensor down to the 24 mp sensor. I don't do alot of "action" photography so many of the enhanced R6 features won't get used alot. I don't do video.

I think ISO is better in the R6 Mk 2. I do miss the joystick on my old 7D. IS seems greatly improved.

Does anyone feel like you begin to cruise or coast at some point? I sometimes feel like I do. I don’t know what it is - maybe tired, or burnt out. Only after making or almost making a mistake do I realize the importance of being alert always. This is just so difficult because many times there just isn’t enough time to pay 100%attention to everything. I’m not married yet and once I am, I’m a bit afraid that the available time I have for work will decrease significantly. /end rant/concern.
