Yep. Every single time. Working sucks and no one is happy.

Yes. Even when it's been slow and I could use the money/most people would be bored, I'd rather not work so I can do whatever I want with my time

I really feel this. Part of me is always like…I’ll have nothing to offer these people.

No… why? Because you don’t actually want to work or because you have imposter syndrome? Or something else? Genuine question

Depends on the ask. For concepting and pitches, totally understand the pressure especially if you’re charging a lot. In those cases, I try not to oversell myself if I don’t think I can pull my weight. But the fact that you got the gig and the rate means you’re probably more than capable!

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
