Due to my career, people automatically assume that I'm pro-Trump and in favor of many of his policies. Has anyone else come across this?

I find it hard to relate to most people that are either Trump or Bernie... is it just me or is the grey area a lot more reasonable? But yes, people are amazed that I'm not a republican.

@JPM1 I'm not sure I agree with the false equivalency of comparing Trump to Bernie. Bernie's ideas, while you may disagree with them, have a lot of merit and have been successful in other model nations. Trump is the embodiment of a Looney Toon.

@GS while I agree with that, I was veering more towards the fact that most people are polarized one way or the other. I feel like going to college and being in this industry has taught me that not everything is as simple and one-sided as most people tend to think/vote like.

People still gasp when I tell them I voted for Bernie... seems like people do have that simple approach

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

SO has sharp pain from the slightest arousal, anything more than holding hands has progressively gone off the table. Any attempts of passing that threshold usually lead to pain that causes stopping, and some frustration from both sides. She tried physical therapy but it didn’t seem to help.

How do we handle this? Going on almost 2 years of this getting slowly and progressively worse, and feels like it’s starting to cause some strain.

Hi All,

I got an offer from Accenture and joining date is 18 October. This is into CN. Lately I got a temporary employment contract from Dubai with a very decent pay.
Due to some personal urgencies, I am under confusion to pursue the offer at Dubai or not!
Can I ask a counter from Accenture to increase my pay and a hard genuine try to send me onsite in 6 months?
Or will it backfire and they close my current offer? What's the situation in Accenture as the market is snaily in recent months!
